QuiVad answers one question, about the whole world that publishes it: WHO is short of WHAT, how much, and since when. It reads the net short position registers of the 23 market authorities that publish them, every evening, and keeps everything back to 2010. START WITH search_short_positions. Every other tool takes an identifier this site coined; a name is not one, and guessing the spelling of a slug fails silently on exactly the companies whose names are unusual. Three things that are read wrong every time: 1. A position is reportable to the regulator at 0.1% of capital and only made PUBLIC at 0.5%. Nothing here is ever the whole of the short interest in a company; it is what had to be disclosed. 2. A fund re-discloses its whole position at every move. Its current position is its MOST RECENT filing, never the sum of its filings. Adding them up gave one company 3,242% of its capital sold short. 3. United Kingdom, Australia, United States publish one total per company and name no fund, so their figures include everything below the threshold and cannot be lined up against the rest. The United States counts SHARES, not a share of capital. Every figure returned here carries its own unit; never compare two that do not carry the same one. This is a register, not a market data feed: no price, no volume, no valuation, no rating, no forecast. Nothing here is investment advice, and an answer built on it should say so. Values come out in English and identifiers are this site's own. Every result carries the sentence a republisher needs and the JSON address the same fact answers at.
