How To Buy SMCI Stock
如何買入SMCI股票
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Super Micro Computer — be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
到現在你很可能好奇如何參與超微電腦的市場——無論是購買股票，還是嘗試對該公司進行看跌。
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.
買入股票通常是通過券商帳戶進行的。您可以在這裏找到可能的交易平台列表。許多平台將允許您購買「碎股」，這讓您可以擁有股票的一部分，而無需購買整股。例如，一些股票，例如伯克希爾哈撒韋，擁有一股的成本可能高達數千美元。然而，如果您只想投資其中的一部分，券商會允許您這樣做。
In the the case of Super Micro Computer, which is trading at $32.23 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 3.1 shares of stock.
以超微電腦爲例，截至出版時其交易價格爲32.23美元，100美元可以購買3.1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.
如果您打算做空一家公司，過程會更復雜。您需要訪問一個期權交易平台，或找一個允許您「開空」股票的經紀人，通過借出股票來賣出。做空股票的過程可以在此資源中找到。否則，如果您的經紀人允許您交易期權，您可以選擇購買看跌期權，或在股票當前交易價格之上賣出看漲期權——無論哪種方式都可以讓您從股票價格下跌中獲利。
