How To Buy Walgreens Stock
如何購買沃爾格林股票
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Walgreens Boots Alliance – be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
到現在你可能好奇如何參與沃爾格林-聯合博姿的市場——無論是購買股票，還是甚至嘗試對公司進行做空。
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.
購買股票通常通過券商帳戶進行。你可以在這裏找到可能的交易平台列表。許多平台將允許你購買'碎股'，這使你可以在不購買整個股份的情況下擁有部分股票。例如，某些股票，如伯克希爾·哈撒韋，僅需幾千美元便可擁有一股。然而，如果你只想投資其中的一部分，券商將允許你這樣做。
In the the case of Walgreens Boots Alliance, which is trading at $10.29 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 9.72 shares of stock.
在沃爾格林-聯合博姿的案例中，截至出版時該股的交易價格爲10.29美元，100美元將購買你9.72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.
如果你想對抗一家公司，過程會更復雜。你需要訪問一個期權交易平台，或者找一個允許你通過借用股票來'開空'股票的券商。有關做空股票的過程可以在這個資源中找到。否則，如果你的券商允許你交易期權，你可以購買一個看跌期權，或者賣出一個行使價高於當前股價的看漲期權——無論哪種方式，都允許你從股價下跌中獲利。
