    Commentary Change in Short Positions by Sector

    At the aggregate level there has not been a lot of movement over the last 7 days,resources sector shorting levels remain at 2 year lows, short selling in financials is at arecord low noting that records only exist for a little over 3 years. While short selling insmall resources remains relatively high, it has also declined substantially over the lastfew weeks. Industrials remain considerably more short sold than other sectors both on alarge cap and a small cap basis.

    For the sector focus this week (see bottom right), we have focussed on mid sizedmining stocks. The three key take-outs for me are: (1). Both the level and themomentum of short selling is quite disparate within the group (2). AGO, FMG, ILU andWSA stand out with much higher short positions than the others in the sector, howeverFMG and ILU have seen levels fall in recent weeks whereas AGO and WSA have seenincreased short selling. (3) The level of short selling for PNA and RRL is substantiallybelow others in the sector and has decreased for both in recent weeks.

    Equities Research - 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 %of 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 f ree 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 loanednot short

    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 whilethe most timely is of use.

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

    ASIC, 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 positionsis unlikely to be consistently profitable, although with a four-day lag in data that is nota huge 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.
