Short selling, an investment term, is a common operation mode in the stock futures market. It refers to borrowing the underlying assets first, then selling them to get cash, and after a period of time, spending cash to buy the underlying assets and returning them.

You can do this. When you expect a stock to fall in the future, sell your stock when the current price is high, and then buy it when the stock price falls to a certain extent. This price difference is your profit. It is characterized by the trading behavior of selling first and then buying. Compared with doing more, doing more means buying at a low price and selling at a high price.

For example, there is a stock, each share 10 yuan. You expect this stock to fall recently, so you borrow 65,438+00 shares from a securities company and sell them at 65,438+00 yuan each. So you have 654.38+0 million in your hand.

But after a few days, the stock fell, 8 yuan per share. You bought another 654.38 million shares, spent 800,000 shares and left you 200,000 cash. Then, you return the 6,543,800+shares borrowed from the securities company. Through this series of operations, you earned 200 thousand. This is very short.

Note (1) There will be brokers as lending platforms in the short-selling market, which is similar to credit transactions. (2) Not everyone can make a profit by shorting, and there are successes and failures. Business tycoon Soros shorting Thailand's economy and Hong Kong's Hang Seng are two classic cases. Investment is risky, so be careful when entering the market!
