Short Side
ShortSide.com is an ASP application which provides short selling market color, via securities lending analytics, to investment management professionals. Often, Stock Exchanges only offer short interest data twice a month and with several days lag, if any at all, leaving investors in the dark regarding daily short selling activity. ShortSide.com fills this void with daily, up-to-date information from the global securities finance market, and enables users to gauge changes in investor sentiment.
