Dow Jones News
Short interest in stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange
rose 3.4% between the second half of March and the first half of
April, according to the latest figures from the unit of NYSE
Euronext (NYX).
NYSE's short interest totaled 13.06 billion shares as of April
15, equal to 3.4% of total shares outstanding. That was from 12.63
billion from the prior period, which ended March 31.
Investors who short shares first borrow shares and then sell
them, betting that share prices will fall and that they can buy
them back at a lower price for return to the lender. Stocks can
also be shorted for other reasons, including hedging
strategies.
