Why Short Interest Matters
为什么空头持仓很重要？
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. Short selling is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
空头持仓是指已经卖出但尚未偿还或关闭的股票数量。空头卖空是指交易者卖出一家公司的股票，但他们并未拥有这些股票，希望股票价格会下跌。如果股票价格下跌，交易者通过空头卖空可以赚钱，如果股票价格上涨，则会亏本。
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.
跟踪空头持仓很重要，因为它可以作为市场对特定股票情绪的指标。空头持仓增加可能表明投资者变得更看淡，而空头持仓减少可能表明他们变得更看好。
