Introducing Shorted

In the fast-paced world of finance, timely and transparent information is crucial. Today, we're excited to introduce Shorted—your gateway to understanding short selling activities on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX).

Understanding Short Selling

Before we delve into Shorted, let's revisit the concept of short selling:

Short selling is an investment strategy where traders anticipate a decline in a stock's price. They borrow shares to sell them on the market, intending to repurchase them later at a lower price, pocketing the difference as profit.

The Need for Transparency

The Challenge: Limited Access to Data

Tracking short positions on the ASX has historically been cumbersome. While the exchange provides data, it's often:

  • Delayed in reporting
  • Complex to interpret

This opacity hinders investors and analysts from making fully informed decisions.
