Why Short Interest Matters
為什麼空頭股數很重要
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.
空頭股數是指已被賣空但尚未回補或平倉的股票數量。賣空是指交易員拋售他們不擁有的公司的股票，希望價格會下跌。如果股票價格下跌，交易員從賣空中賺錢，如果股價上漲，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.
跟蹤空頭股數很重要，因為它可以作為市場對某隻股票情緒的指標。空頭股數股價上漲可能標誌着投資者變得更加悲觀，而空頭股數股價下跌可能表明他們變得更加看漲。
