Why is the short ratio value (days to cover) different to other online services?

The short ratio is the number of shares sold short divided by the average daily volume (ADV). It shows approximately how many days it will take short-sellers to cover their positions. The higher the ratio, the longer it would take to buy back the short shares.

While the value of short interest (shares sold short) is always known the ADV will differ according to the time period. For example, the ADV over 10 days will be different to the ADV over 30 days, 6 months etc.

Consequently, the short ratio value will differ according to the ADV value that is used.

Is the FDA Calendar an official resource?

No. The FDA Calendar is run independently of the FDA. There is no affiliation between the FDA and BioPharmCatalyst.

Do you provide data on historical catalysts? Your FDA Calendar page has all sorts of dates for trial results. I'd like to look over the last few years' worth of catalysts.

Yes. Please visit the Historical Catalyst Database.

Why is Company GHJK, currently trading on the OTC exchange not listed on BioPharmCatalyst?

BioPharmCatalyst focuses on companies listed on AMEX/NASDAQ.

Company SDFG has a Phase 1 data presentation next month but it is not listed in the FDA Calendar. Why is this?

A company must have a drug in Phase 2 or 3 development or have an upcoming PDUFA date to be listed on BioPharmCatalyst.

Over time, however, Phase 1 catalysts of small cap companies will be added.

Is the share price shown on your website live?

No. Financial data (e.g. price and volume) are updated once every 20 minutes and that data is already 15 minutes delayed from our feed provider so the data you see will be delayed in total 15-35 minutes.

I noticed you have colors under the different stages (e.g. ARRY Phase 2 has red and orange highlighted under where it says Phase 2. What do these 6 possible color highlights represent?

1) Phase 1, Phase 1b, Phase 1/2
2) Phase 2, Phase 2b
3) Phase 3
4) NDA filing
5) PDUFA
6) Approved/CRL
