It is very interesting. I think the term you're looking for is the "short interest". Shares outstanding are just the shares currently available to trade on the market. If you go to
NASDAQ you can easily find the short interest.
Here's an example of Yahoo's short interest.
Bob, is that accurate, or am I doing something wrong? Maybe I should just shut up and let the professional answer
