    Commentary Change in Short Positions by Sector

    Short selling has eased off over the last few weeks, with Industrials coming off recenthighs and resources continuing to edge lower. The most short sold sector continues tobe industrials in both small and large caps.

    For the sector focus this week (see bottom right), we have focussed on the iron orestocks given the sharp rise in the iron ore price recently. The three key take-outs for meare: (1). The shape of the curve seems similar for AGO and MGX, but these two lookdifferent to the other iron ore producers (2). FMG stands out with significantly highershort positions than the others, but this has been edging lower over the last year (3)With a falling Australian dollar and rising iron ore price I would have expected moreshort covering that we have seen (noting that there is a 4/5 day lag to the short sellingdata).

    Quantitative Strategy Short and Stocky 21

    NOTES

    1. Short Position as %of Free Float

    This represents the latest reported short position divided by the Free Float Market Capitalisation of the stock. TheFree Float Market Capitalisation includes the actual number of shares less those held by strategic owners and henceis a better representation of the number of shares available to be traded on the exchange.

    2. Short Sales as %Stock available toshort

    This measure compares the amount of outstanding short positions (reported to ASIC) with the amount of stockavailable to be borrowed (reported to the ASX). Note that the stock available to be borrowed is only reported once aquarter. Some participants may not be reporting correctly to either ASIC (less likely) or the ASX (almost certainly, asthere are a large number of inconsistencies) so this data should be used with caution.

    3. Change in shortPosition

    This measure shows the current shorted shares as a percentage of the total free floated shares LESS the number ofshort shares as a percentage of the total free floated shares reported either one month or one week prior.

    4. FY1 EPS forecast This column shows the change in analyst forecasts for the first forecast year earnings per share.

    5. Days to cover The number of days of trading it would take short sellers to completely cover positions based on the average of thelast six months of trading.

    6. Stock loaned notshort

    This measure calculates the difference between the amount of stock borrowed (reported to the ASX and calculated asthe maximum between the borrowed and loaned number of shares) but not yet shorted as a percentage of the totalfree float shares of the stock.

    This data should be used with caution. Data showing N/A means the borrowed and loaned numbers are notconsistent with the open short position data and so likely have not been reported accurately.

    SHORT SALES DATA

    There are three primary sources of short sales data:

    ASX reported short sales: This only reports short selling (not covering) and so while

    the most timely is of use.

    ASX reported lending and borrowing: This data shows the amount that is borrowed

    and the amount that has been lent on a daily basis, and also has quarterly data on thetotal amount of stock available to be lent. While useful and more timely than the ASICdata there are clearly inconsistencies in the data where the amount reportedborrowed and the amount reported lent frequently does not match, and additionally itis also frequently less than the amount reported short sold which suggests cautionshould be used with the data.

    ASIC reported short sales position:This data comes from investors to ASIC and isthe gross amount of open short positions, however it is reported with a four-day lag.We use this as our primary source of information, although note the timeliness is anissue. There may also be data integrity issues with investors reporting incorrectly toASIC, although we suspect that this is less of an issue for ASIC than it is for the ASX.

    QUANTITATIVE MODELS

    There is only about a year of reliable short sales data, and the key data series hashad some changes in definitions which makes quantitative conclusions about thesuccess or otherwise of trading short sales data hard to make.

    Preliminary tests indicate that short term trading off changes in short sales positions isunlikely to be consistently profitable, although with a four day lag in data that is not ahuge surprise.

    The absolute level of short selling doesnt seem to be a consistent indicator.Trends in short positions over period of two weeks or longer seem to be moreprofitable, however with such a short time frame we are wary of making too many

    claims. We will follow this data and provide updates in the future.
