Report Overview

Short selling is the selling of a security which the seller does not own, or any sale which is completed by the delivery of a security borrowed by the seller. Short selling is a legitimate trading strategy. Short sellers assume the risk that they will be able to buy the stock at a more favorable price than the price at which they sold short. The NASDAQ Short Sale Rule prohibits NASD members from selling a NASDAQ National Market stock at or below the inside best bid when that price is lower than the previous inside best bid in that stock.

To calculate short interest in NASDAQ stocks, NASD member firms are instructed to report to the NASDR TS-Customer Advocacy & Quality Management Department, on a monthly basis, their short positions, for all accounts, in shares, warrants, units, ADRs, and convertible preferreds resulting from short sales. Once the short position reports are received by the Product Deployment and Support Department, the short interest is then compiled for each NASDAQ security.

Firms are required to report their short positions as of settlement on the 15th of each month, or the preceding business day if the 15th is not a business day. The reports must be filed by the second business day after the reporting settlement date. The Product Deployment and Support area compiles the short interest data and provides it for publication on the 8th business day after the reporting settlement date.

The monthly short interest information includes the adjustment for stock splits. The adjustment to the short interest for stocks that split on or before the reporting settlement date will automatically be reflected in all historical data available on the website; facilitating month to month comparisons. However, for stock splits that occur after the settlement date, the adjustment will be reflected in the following reporting period. If a Stock Split occurs before the settlement date of the data, the Short Interest and Average Daily Share volume will be adjusted based on that stock split. For example: in a given month, if an issue had 10,000 Shares Sold Short, and an Average Daily Share Volume of 20,000; and experienced a 2:1 stock split that month, the Short Interest and Daily Share Volume would be adjusted. The values would be adjusted on a 2:1 basis: Short Interest would be adjusted to 20,000 shares and the Daily Average Share Volume would be adjusted to 40,000 shares. All historically archived values would be similarly adjusted.


Publication Schedule for 2006
Monthly short interest information will be available on the NASDAQ Trader Web site after 4 p.m. on the dissemination date.
