The easiest place to find this information is by putting a ticker into Yahoo! Finance and clicking on the "Key Statistics" link. Scroll down a bit and look at the right column under "Share Statistics" -- here you'll find the most recent data for: * Number of shares shorted * Short ratio * Short position as a percentage of the float * Number of shares shorted during the previous month The number of shares shorted should be the same as the information from Nasdaq.com. The short ratio, also referred to as "days to cover," is an expression of how large the total short position is in a stock relative to the average daily volume. The short position as a percentage of the float is the information that D. is looking for. This percentage expresses the number of shares shorted divided by the "float" (Float Defined), or number of total shares that are free to be traded by the investing public.
