How To Buy Merck & Company Shares
如何购买 Merck＆Company股票
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Merck & Co (NYSE:MRK) – be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
现在你可能对如何参与 Merck＆Co（纽交所：MRK）的市场感兴趣，无论是购买股票，还是试图反对该公司。
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of possible trading platforms here. Many will allow you to buy 'fractional shares,' which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. For example, some stock, like Berkshire Hathaway, can cost thousands of dollars to own just one share. However, if you only want to invest a fraction of that, brokerages will allow you to do so.
通常是通过券商账户购买股票。您可以在此处找到可能的交易平台列表。许多平台将允许您购买“碎股”，这样就可以拥有部分股票而无需购买整个股票。例如，某些股票，如伯克希尔哈撒韦（Berkshire Hathaway），可能需要支付数千美元才能拥有一股。但是，如果您只想投资一部分股票，券商将允许您这样做。
In the the case of Merck & Co (NYSE:MRK), which is trading at $119.46 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 0.84 shares of stock.
对于 Merck＆Co（纽交所：MRK），目前交易价格为$119.46，$100可以购买0.84股股票。
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to 'go short' a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a stock can be found at this resource. Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading – either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
如果您想押注股票下跌，流程就更为复杂了。您需要访问期权交易平台，或者找一家券商让您通过借出股票进行“开空”操作（借股出售）。您可以在该资源中了解到卖空股票的过程。否则，如果您的券商允许您交易期权，您可以在当前股票交易价以上的执行价上购买看跌期权或者卖出看涨期权 - 无论哪种情况都可以让您从股票价格下跌中获利。
