Why Short Interest Matters
爲什麼空頭持倉重要
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.
空頭持倉是指已經被做空但尚未被平倉或關閉的股票數量。開空是指交易者賣出他們並不擁有的公司股票，期望價格下跌。如果股票價格下跌，交易者就能從開空中賺錢；如果價格上漲，他們就會虧損。
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.
跟蹤空頭持倉非常重要，因爲它可以作爲市場對特定股票情緒的指標。空頭持倉的增加可能表明投資者變得更加看淡，而減少則可能表明他們變得更加看好。
