Why Short Interest Matters
爲什麼空頭持倉很重要
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.
空頭持倉是指已賣空但尚未平倉的股票數量。賣空是指交易員賣出自己不擁有的公司股票，希望股價下跌。如果股價下跌，交易員會從賣空中賺錢，而如果股價上漲，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.
空頭持倉之所以重要是因爲它可以作爲對特定股票的市場情緒的指標。空頭持倉增加可能表明投資者變得更看淡，而空頭持倉減少可能表明他們更看好。
