"short interest in 3,453 Nasdaq Global MarketSM securities totaled 14,879,370,342 shares"

Short interest is the number of a company's shares that people have borrowed and sold because they expect the price to drop. It matters to investors because high short interest can mean many people expect trouble (which can be risky), and it can also lead to big price jumps if those sellers rush to buy back shares.

View in glossary

short sale financial

"A short sale is generally understood to mean the sale of a security that the seller does not own"

A short sale is when an investor borrows shares they do not own, sells them now, and aims to buy them back later at a lower price to return to the lender, pocketing the difference. It matters to investors because it expresses a bet that a stock will fall, can increase volatility and trading volume, and carries the risk of large losses if the stock instead rises—similar to selling a borrowed item hoping its price drops before you must replace it.
