How To Buy CHNR Stock
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for China Natural Resources – be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
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, or Amazon.com, 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.
In the the case of China Natural Resources, which is trading at $3.1 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 32.26 shares of stock.
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.
According to data from Benzinga Pro, CHNR has a 52-week high of $8.85 and a 52-week low of $0.86.

到目前爲止，你可能對如何參與中國自然資源市場感到好奇——無論是購買股票，還是試圖押注該公司。
購買股票通常通過經紀賬戶完成。您可以在此處找到可能的交易平台列表。許多股票允許您購買 “部分股票”，這使您無需購買整股即可擁有部分股票。例如，某些股票，例如伯克希爾·哈撒韋公司或亞馬遜，僅擁有一股股票可能要花費數千美元。但是，如果您只想投資其中的一小部分，經紀公司將允許您這樣做。

如果你想對一家公司下注，這個過程會更加複雜。您需要訪問期權交易平台或經紀商，該經紀人將允許您 “空頭” 一股股票，將股票借給您。可以在此資源中找到做空股票的過程。否則，如果您的經紀人允許您交易期權，您可以買入看跌期權，也可以以高於當前股票交易價格的行使價賣出看漲期權——無論哪種方式，它都允許您從股價下跌中獲利。
