Why Short Interest Matters
为什么空头持仓重要
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.
空头持仓是指已经被做空但尚未被平仓或关闭的股票数量。开空是指交易者卖出他们并不拥有的公司股票，期望价格下跌。如果股票价格下跌，交易者就能从开空中赚钱；如果价格上涨，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.
跟踪空头持仓非常重要，因为它可以作为市场对特定股票情绪的指标。空头持仓的增加可能表明投资者变得更加看淡，而减少则可能表明他们变得更加看好。
