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.
空头持仓是指已卖空但尚未平仓的股票数量。卖空是指交易员卖出自己不拥有的公司股票，希望股价下跌。如果股价下跌，交易员会从卖空中赚钱，而如果股价上涨，他们就会亏损。
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.
空头持仓之所以重要是因为它可以作为对特定股票的市场情绪的指标。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更看好。
