Short Intensity Rank
A sentiment measure of how intense the short selling is on a stock specific basis. The range of potential values is from 0% to 100%. We look at the short selling of each equity issue on a weighted basis going back five years. Then, we determine where the current amount of short selling ranks relative to each issue's history of short selling. A value of 100% would indicate a new high amount of short selling for the past five years. 0% would indicate a new low amount of short selling for the past five years.
Range 1 to 100
- Heavy Shorting >= 80
- Moderate Shorting >= 50
- Mild Shorting <= 30
