Short Selling Radar (SSR) - Newcomer

The visualization of information "Viz-Decks" is an integral part of the financial information platform. The arrangement of the data makes it possible to obtain a quick overview of complex issues that are not immediately apparent at first glance or that obscure the essentials due to unimportant accompanying information. Some of the data dashboards follow scientific approaches, while others give raw data a new - readable - form. In selected constellations, the visual presentation serves to interpret financial information or as a supplement to editorial content. Thematic Vis-Decks (TVD) are topic-oriented dashboards, i.e. they have a direct link or reference to an overarching issue.

The data processed in this TVD is information from the reporting offices responsible for short selling activities. As a rule, these are official institutions. The publication of the data is decentralized, which means that availability and data quality may vary depending on the reporting process and the type and scope of publication.
As we frequently receive questions of this or a similar nature: For private investors, physical short selling is associated with a number of hurdles. In order to participate in falling prices, synthetic products such as warrants or contracts for difference are often the only option, mainly for cost reasons. For some time now, the fan base has also been growing for exchange-traded funds (ETFs), where a similar effect can be used, sometimes leveraged, via so-called inverse ETPs. CFDs remain particularly popular, although they are only traded OTC.
