Why Short Interest Matters
为什么空头利息很重要
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.
空头利息是指已卖空但尚未被偿还或平仓的股票数量。卖空是指交易者出售不拥有的公司的股票，希望价格下跌。如果股票价格下跌，交易者通过卖空获利，如果股票价格上涨，他们将蒙受损失。
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.
空头利息很重要，因为它可以作为市场对特定股票情绪的指标。空头利率的增加可能表明投资者变得更加看跌，而空头利率的减少可能表明他们变得更加看涨。
