Short interest: InsurTechs lead the list, Aon/Willis rise

Short interest is the total number of shares of a stock that have been sold short by investors but have not yet been covered or closed. If you expect the price of a stock to fall, you can execute a short sale.

In a short sale you borrow the shares from a broker (his account or another owner) and sell them at the current market price.
