Why Short Interest Matters
爲什麼空頭利息很重要
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.
空頭利息是指已賣空但尚未被償還或平倉的股票數量。賣空是指交易者出售不擁有的公司的股票，希望價格下跌。如果股票價格下跌，交易者通過賣空獲利，如果股票價格上漲，他們將蒙受損失。
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.
空頭利息很重要，因爲它可以作爲市場對特定股票情緒的指標。空頭利率的增加可能表明投資者變得更加看跌，而空頭利率的減少可能表明他們變得更加看漲。
