Why We Look at Days to Cover

Short interest is the number of shares that investors are currently short on a particular stock. Days to cover is the number of days---based on the average trading volume of the stock---that it would take all short sellers to cover their short positions.

For instance, if a stock has a short interest of 20 million shares and an average trading volume of 10 million shares, days to cover would be two days (20 million / 10 million = 2 days).

Everything I say is in my opinion, do your own DD and make your decision wisely! Don't spend more then you can afford to lose!
