	Short selling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Short sellers who are borrowing money from their brokerage house also must be aware of the margin call, a demand for additional funds from their broker, because of, in the case of shorting, a rise in the price of the security being shorted.
		Businesses hate short sellers who target them, as the short selling drives down the price of their stock and puts the short sellers in a position where they benefit from the business's misfortune, which seems like a ripe opportunity for conspiracies against the business, especially anonymous rumors.
		Advocates of short sellers have also stated that their scrutiny of companies' finances has led to the discovery of instances of fraud which were glossed over or ignored by investors who had held the companies' stock long.

	Short interest ratio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The short ratio (or short interest ratio) is usually the number of shares outstanding of a publicly traded company that is sold short, divided by the average daily trading volume (daily transaction).
		It is one measure of the market's outlook on a given stock; a higher short interest ratio indicates more pessimism, because a higher proportion of a company's total float has already been sold short.
		The short interest and short ratio can be deceiving, however, when a company has many convertible securities outstanding and is perceived to be at risk, because convertible and options arbitrageurs will often sell the stock short to manage risk with their long positions in these other instruments.

	day trading strategy with the Public Short Ratio
		The Public Short Ratio (or PSR) is the ratio of the number of public short sales and the total number of short sales (a "non-member short ratio", if you like).
		The Public Short Ratio is based on the idea that the public isn't very good at short selling, and so experts buy when the public is shorting and sell when the public is long.
		The longer the Public Short Ratio is in one of these areas, the higher the likelyhood the market will correct.

		In order to assess the relative contribution of the just completed (preceding) and upcoming ratios, it is necessary to institute a compound schedule (i.e., a mixed or multiple schedule), in which different ratio requirements are in effect during each component.
		On the one hand, if pausing is determined by the preceding ratio, then longer pauses should follow the longer component, regardless of the length of the upcoming ratio.
		Using this procedure, pause durations can be recorded: (a) after a short ratio and before a short ratio, (b) after a short ratio and before a long ratio, (c) after a long ratio and before a long ratio, and (d) after a long ratio and before a short ratio.

	The Big Picture: NYSE Specialist Short Ratio
		The ratio fell on July 23 to its lowest level, 22 percent, since at least 1943, when reliable records of the indicator were first compiled.
		The weekly ratio can be calculated from the "round lot report," found by entering those words in the search box of the exchange's Web site, www.nyse.com (in the search results, look for a document titled "roundlots.html").
		To illustrate, the number of shares sold short in the 1929-1931 period constituted only a fraction of 1% of all shares outstanding, according to this article.

	Safe Haven \| Market Round-Up and the NYSE Specialist Short Ratio
		From there, we will proceed with a short discussion on the U.S. dollar (which I am bullish on as exemplified by my May 1st commentary and in my discussion of the dollar over the last several weeks preceding that commentary) and on the recent action in commodities (which I am still bearish on).
		The NYSE specialist short-sale ratio may not represent the bullishness or bearishness of professional traders, but it is definitely representative of the bullishness or bearishness of the public - as these specialists are generally forced to short-sell when the public is bullish (and thus buy stocks) and to buy when the public is bearish.
		There have been many arguments stating that this ratio may not be as useful as it once was, given the proliferation of hedge funds and complex hedging strategies, for example.

		Conversely, when there is heavy public demand to own stock, the specialists may be forced to short that stock to them in order to maintain an orderly market, so the specialists would then make up a greater percentage of total short sales and the Specialist Short Ratio will rise.
		The main reasons are the increase in hedge funds that focus exclusively (or mainly) on shorting equities, and the increasing ease with which individual investors have access to shorting stocks through the rise of online brokers.
		Therefore, the levels of the Specialist Short Ratio which could be considered extreme have changed in the last few years.
