What is the way to short US stocks?
It is difficult for retail investors to short in A-share market, while it is relatively easy for US stocks to short, which can be said to be one of the necessary skills in US stock trading technology. What is the way to short US stocks? The following is Bian Xiao's introduction.

1, directly short the stock.

Shorting stocks directly through securities companies, such as Yahoo's stock YHOO, first sell the stocks borrowed from securities companies, and then buy them back after Yahoo's stock falls, and return them to securities companies to earn the difference.

2. Short the options corresponding to stock trading.

Many companies in the American stock market have corresponding options, such as one-month term, two-month term and one-year term. And the price is different. There are many options (call) and empty options (put). If you have stocks, you can sell them to others yourself (similar to issuing options yourself). This operation is called writing.

You can directly buy short options (buy put options) with little investment, or after buying stocks, you can write more options to others. No matter whether the stock goes up or not, as long as you write the option with the target above the current price, you can make money in all likelihood.

3. Buy corresponding to the buy index

The Dow Jones Index, Pulp 500 Index and Pulp 100 Index in the US stock market also have options. The trading methods of index options and stock options are basically the same, but individuals can't write, so they can only buy short options (put options) if they want to be empty.

4. short the ETF of US stocks

There are many empty ETFs in the US stock market. For example, the empty DXD of Dow Jones index, the empty QID of Nasdaq index, the empty SKF of financial services index and so on. If you don't want to take too much risk yourself, please consider buying an empty ETF. Basically, it is operated by experts, and the income is also considerable.

5. Through futures trading

& ampnbsp Futures trading and stock market are conducted separately. You can also create empty US stocks through stock index futures, but stock index futures are much less than options, so you can create investment in empty US stocks through stock index futures.
