Resources

Short interest (number of shares sold short) is a measure of traders' sentiment.  Short interest is considered a contrary indicator.  The more shorted a stock is, the more likely it will go UP on a "short squeeze". 

This calculator will give you the short interest for a given stock symbol plus a lot of short interest-related variables, like short ratio, float, short share % vs. float and much more.
