Number of shares short / average daily volume, I believe. Of course in reality it would take much higher volume or many more days to cover since not everyone (but the shorts) will just sell shares

TP-

It means the number of days of buying, on average, that would be needed to cover all the short shares. So, if days to cover is 2 and we suddenly had a short squeeze, my understanding is that you could expect about 2 strong days of buying...and rising share price.

Feel free to correct me, all, if I'm off here...
