OK, to back track, you can see data on declarations of short interest disclosed under the FCA's Short Selling Regulations but I think everyone agrees that many short positions evade that disclosure in various ways, or aren't covered by it.
Thanks Blubay
Earlier in the year, I was reading LSE chat on a share that topped the leaderboard in short positions. People were referencing percentages. It was an AIM share.
Will keep reading LSE chat. ADVFN is awful. Never any useful discussions. Just mud wrestling.
To be honest, one of the most reliable bellwethers on AIM is to watch the discussion forums like LSE and gauge the appearance and disappearance of obvious short trolling discussion threads ;-) Those threads just don't appear on stable shares.
The FTSE has been towards its ‘high range’ recently. It is likely to take a tumble as fears over Iran / Israel war loom.
You can't derive long-short ratio data for a UK share in any direct or simple way. Traders will take short positions in a variety of ways. For example, just selling your shares and hoping to buy them back at a lower price in the future is a clear short position, but you can't measure how many people or shares that affects, other than considering sells as a simple proxy for market belief that the price is going down. Some traders take more committed short positions by borrowing shares, selling them and having to buy them back at some point in the future, but there isn't a declared register of short positions. Then there is a whole bunch of people who just bet on shares going up or down without owning the shares, using spread betting websites, and those betting companies have to take share positions to hedge the bets of their customers (and sometimes you can see those positions if they get large enough to declare voting rights on a T-1)
TBTB... Absolutely, pretty much everything is down. Time to buy ( more) !
GLA & ATB
Still great price to buy in at ! This will as usual take patience Rome wasn’t built in a day !
Any one see the FTSE this morning …… down massive so not just us !! it’s a reflection of the market no need to work out why it’s dropped …. War in Israel ….great time to buy HE1 !! Buy and hold for Helium !….. imo…..
GLA
Absolutely, BaronStonks. If they don’t have the stomach for daily fluctuations then they shouldn’t be investing.
Great topping up opportunity.
Long term is huge with HE1 🚀📈
Sounds like she is gearing up for a long day haha :p
Long term is the game to be played here
GLA
As a relative new comer. I plan to keep my shares through Q3 news. In the meantime, where can I find out the % shorts please? I get the impression we have day traders interested and would like to analyse/ keep an eye on.
Thanks in advance.
However, McNol, in answer to your question….because I first-hand witnessed Lorna have 4 weetabkx this morning.
GLA 📈
.....said by a true Ramper!
MCNol, moral of my posts is no one, not even the deramping trolls, can predict the daily market. I am here for the long term and a little light-hearted sarcasm and banter is well needed when we have derampers all over the board.
GLA genuine investors. 20% plus by end of day 🚀📈
I see 4 green boxes after Trickys post. This is a good sign. They are here in numbers, again.
GLA 📈
It is totally cringeworthy! Dear oh dear, does the man know no shame?! ;0)

Genuine lols
Stinks of desperation. Makes me LOL.
Pub ya charts upside down. 😜
And she’s off 📈
Here they come as we dropped a little what a load of idiots
HappyDazes, it’s poised to go blue. Watch this space. I may not be right but I am never wrong.
GLA 📈🍻
Pubcrawl's talent in being wrong is quite inpressive. Maybe too many beers on your own in your dingy basement isnt ideal 🤣🍺🤣🍺👀
Crypt...my point in a nutshell.
