By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Ascent Solar Technologies – be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.

Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of possible trading platforms here. Many will allow you to buy 'fractional shares,' which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. For example, some stock, like Berkshire Hathaway, or Amazon.com, can cost thousands of dollars to own just one share. However, if you only want to invest a fraction of that, brokerages will allow you to do so.
购买股票通常是通过证券账户进行的。您可以在这里找到可能的交易平台列表。许多交易平台将允许您购买“碎股”，这样可以购买部分股票而非整张股票。例如，有些股票，如伯克希尔-哈撒韦公司或亚马逊公司，可能需要数千美元才能持有一股。但是，如果您只想投资其中一小部分，券商将允许您这样做。
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to 'go short' a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a stock can be found at this resource. Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading – either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
如果您想押注股票下跌，流程就更为复杂了。您需要访问期权交易平台，或者找一家券商让您通过借出股票进行“开空”操作（借股出售）。您可以在该资源中了解到卖空股票的过程。否则，如果您的券商允许您交易期权，您可以在当前股票交易价以上的执行价上购买看跌期权或者卖出看涨期权 - 无论哪种情况都可以让您从股票价格下跌中获利。
