Short selling is a common operation mode in stock futures market. It is expected that the stock futures market will have a downward trend. The operator will sell his chips at the market price, and then buy them after the stock futures fall to earn the middle price difference.
The advantages of short selling mechanism are manifold. Banks attach great importance to short-selling reports. Understanding the risk points of enterprise production and operation, capital chain and other aspects through audit investigation is conducive to controlling the loan risk. Short selling has increased the tools for investors to express their views on stock prices and increased the choice of investment strategies. Shorting is conducive to improving market liquidity and promoting price discovery.
Shorting is conducive to balancing unilateral transactions and correcting overvaluation. In a market repeatedly questioned and bombarded by bears, the eliminated bubble basically disappears, and the intrinsic value becomes the most important factor supporting the stock price, and the probability of continuous plunge and stock market plunge is greatly reduced.
For example, if you see that a stock is 10 yuan, and analyze that its market outlook will fall to 8 yuan within a certain period of time, and you don't own the shares of the company, then you can borrow a certain number of tickets from the holders of the stock and sign an agreement to return the borrowed shares to the original holders within a certain period of time. Suppose you borrow 65,438+000 company shares, and there are 65,438+. Get 1000 yuan in cash. If the stock really falls to 8 yuan within the specified time, you use 8 yuan to buy 100 shares, spend money to buy 800 yuan, and return 100 shares to the original holder. The number of shares of the original holder remains unchanged, and you earn 200 yuan cash.
