But unlike last month’s market-rattling move, it wasn’t clear that individual investors were the primary driver.\nThe primary mechanism, however, appeared largely the same.\nA surge in purchases of GameStop call options, centered on those with a strike price of $60 and due to expire at the end of the week, was seen late Wednesday afternoon, said Gust Kepler, chief executive of BlackBoxStocks, a stock-and-options analytics and social platform. That triggered an alert sent by BlackBoxStocks at 3:27 p.m. Eastern, he said. Another alert was triggered early Thursday by heavy interest in calls with a $125 strike price.\nThe company tracks options buying activity, with an eye toward large institutional buyers. Concerted activity by individual investors can also be picked up as brokers, which are part of the institutional universe, move to fill orders. The recent activity appeared to likely be a combination of big, professional players as well as individual buyers, Kepler said, in an interview.\n‘Gamma squeeze’\nA call option is a financial instrument that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy the underlying security at a set price, known as the strike price, by a certain date. By buying far “out of the money” calls, which have a strike price well above the stock’s present level, investors are betting that a surge in the stock price will net them a healthy profit.\nBuying far out of the money calls is usually a losing proposition, analysts noted, and a surge in interest can make the strategy more expensive as premiums rise in response to demand.\nBut the options buying can, under certain circumstances, create conditions in which a price rally feeds on itself. Known as a “gamma squeeze,” this occurs when the sellers of the call options, in order to hedge their positions, buy the underlying stock. As the price of the stock rises, they need to buy more to maintain their hedge, creating the feedback loop.\nGameStop shares soared in late afternoon trade Wednesday, prompting trading halts before it ended with a gain of 104%.Nearly 65 million shares changed hands, with volume surging as the closing bell neared, compared with a recent average daily volume of 14.7 million shares. GameStop shares popped as much as 85% at Thursday’s opening bell. Gains were trimmed by the close, but it still finished at $108.73, up more than 18%.\nWhere are the shorts?\nGameStop, which ended last year near $17 a share, soared as high as $483 in late January as concerted buying efforts initiated by individual investors on Reddit’s WallStreetBets forum contributed to a short squeeze, forcing traders who had bet on falling stock prices to cover their positions, adding to the buying frenzy.\nGameStop shares subsequently fell back, trading below $40 a share last week. The late-January episode briefly rattled financial markets, triggered investigations and brought additional scrutiny, including a high-profile congressional hearing, on online brokers, market makers, and other players.\nIt’s also brought attention to the broader role individual investors are playing and the possibility of a sustained pickup in retail interest that could alter market dynamics over the long run.\nThe broader stock marketsaw steep lossesthat deepened ahead of the closing bell, though the tech-led fall was blamed largely on a sharp jump in Treasury yields. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped nearly 560 points, or 1.8%. The S&P 500 fell 2.4%, while the Nasdaq Composite dropped 3.5%.\nSome market watchers, however, saw a possible but not clear-cut link between the GameStop activity and the selloff.\nGameStop might still be a popular short among some hedge funds, said Thomas Lee, managing partner and head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, in a Thursday note. That could be fostering a repeat of the late-January “degrossing” episode, in which hedge funds sold assets in order to reduce leverage, in keeping with “value-at-risk” models.\nMeanwhile, other market watchers questioned how much fuel existed for for a repeat short squeeze, noting a sharp fall in short interest and expectations that remaining shorts are more adequately hedged against sharp moves.\nShort interest in GameStop had reached 140% in January, but has since fallen back closer to 30%, noted Edward Moya, senior market analyst at brokerage Oanda, in a note, observing that professional investors likely also see an opportunity near options expiration dates following last month’s action.\n“One thing is clear, the institutional money behind this move found options expiration as a pivotal opportunity that will make it easier for market disruptions,” Moya wrote. “The violent price swings might remain elevated around options expirations for the Reddit-WallStreetBets crowd.”","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[{"id":366509451,"gmtCreate":1614500671973,"gmtModify":1703477885088,"author":{"id":"3555414544558416","authorId":"3555414544558416","name":"车厘子tomato","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a6dbabc7e37fc0d611c52a5194f61d58","vip":1,"crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3555414544558416","authorIdStr":"3555414544558416"},"htmlText":"hi","listText":"hi","text":"hi","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/366509451","repostId":1120523685,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1120523685","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1614310849,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1120523685?lang=zh_CN&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-02-26 11:40","market":"us","language":"en","title":"GameStop Round 2?

But unlike last month’s market-rattling move, it wasn’t clear that individual investors were the primary driver.<blockquote>另一场由期权引发的购买狂潮似乎导致游戏驿站公司和其他“模因”股票的股价周四飙升。但与上个月令市场不安的举动不同，目前尚不清楚个人投资者是否是主要驱动力。</blockquote> The primary mechanism, however, appeared largely the same.<blockquote>然而，主要机制似乎基本相同。</blockquote> A surge in purchases of GameStop call options, centered on those with a strike price of $60 and due to expire at the end of the week, was seen late Wednesday afternoon, said Gust Kepler, chief executive of BlackBoxStocks, a stock-and-options analytics and social platform. That triggered an alert sent by BlackBoxStocks at 3:27 p.m. Eastern, he said. Another alert was triggered early Thursday by heavy interest in calls with a $125 strike price.<blockquote>股票和期权公司BlackBoxStocks首席执行官Gust Kepler表示，周三下午晚些时候，游戏驿站·看涨期权期权的购买量激增，主要集中在执行价为60美元、将于本周末到期的期权上。分析和社交平台。这触发了BlackBoxStocks在下午3点27分发送的警报。东方，他说。周四早些时候，由于对评级的浓厚兴趣，执行价为125美元，引发了另一个警报。</blockquote> The company tracks options buying activity, with an eye toward large institutional buyers. Concerted activity by individual investors can also be picked up as brokers, which are part of the institutional universe, move to fill orders. The recent activity appeared to likely be a combination of big, professional players as well as individual buyers, Kepler said, in an interview.<blockquote>该公司跟踪期权购买活动，关注大型机构买家。随着作为机构世界一部分的经纪商开始履行订单，个人投资者的一致活动也可能被发现。开普勒在接受采访时表示，最近的活动似乎可能是大型专业参与者和个人买家的结合。</blockquote> ‘Gamma squeeze’<blockquote>“伽马挤压”</blockquote> A call option is a financial instrument that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy the underlying security at a set price, known as the strike price, by a certain date. By buying far “out of the money” calls, which have a strike price well above the stock’s present level, investors are betting that a surge in the stock price will net them a healthy profit.<blockquote>看涨期权期权是一种金融工具，赋予持有人在特定日期之前以设定价格（称为执行价格）购买标的证券的权利，但没有义务。通过购买执行价格远高于该股目前水平的“价外”评级，投资者押注股价飙升将为他们带来可观的利润。</blockquote> Buying far out of the money calls is usually a losing proposition, analysts noted, and a surge in interest can make the strategy more expensive as premiums rise in response to demand.<blockquote>分析师指出，远超本钱买入评级通常是一个失败的提议，随着溢价因需求而上升，兴趣激增可能会使该策略变得更加昂贵。</blockquote> But the options buying can, under certain circumstances, create conditions in which a price rally feeds on itself. Known as a “gamma squeeze,” this occurs when the sellers of the call options, in order to hedge their positions, buy the underlying stock. As the price of the stock rises, they need to buy more to maintain their hedge, creating the feedback loop.<blockquote>但在某些情况下，期权购买可以创造价格上涨的条件。这种情况被称为“伽马挤压”，当看涨期权期权的卖方为了对冲其头寸而购买标的股票时就会发生。随着股票价格上涨，他们需要购买更多来维持对冲，从而形成反馈循环。</blockquote> GameStop&nbsp;shares soared in late afternoon trade Wednesday, prompting trading halts before it&nbsp;ended with a gain of 104%.Nearly 65 million shares changed hands, with volume surging as the closing bell neared, compared with a recent average daily volume of 14.7 million shares. GameStop shares&nbsp;popped as much as 85% at Thursday’s opening bell. Gains were trimmed by the close, but it still finished at $108.73, up more than 18%.<blockquote>周三下午晚些时候，游戏驿站股价飙升，导致交易暂停，最终上涨104%。近6500万股易手，临近收盘时成交量激增，而近期日均成交量为1470万股。周四开盘时，游戏驿站股价飙升85%。收盘时涨幅有所收窄，但仍收于108.73美元，涨幅超过18%。</blockquote> Where are the shorts?<blockquote>短裤在哪里？</blockquote> GameStop, which ended last year near $17 a share, soared as high as $483 in late January as concerted buying efforts initiated by individual investors on Reddit’s WallStreetBets forum contributed to a short squeeze, forcing traders who had bet on falling stock prices to cover their positions, adding to the buying frenzy.<blockquote>游戏驿站去年收盘价接近每股17美元，1月下旬飙升至483美元，原因是个人投资者在Reddit的WallStreetBets论坛上发起的一致买入努力导致了空头挤压，迫使押注股价下跌的交易员回补头寸，加剧了购买狂潮。</blockquote> GameStop shares subsequently fell back, trading below $40 a share last week. The late-January episode briefly rattled financial markets, triggered investigations and brought additional scrutiny, including a high-profile congressional hearing, on online brokers, market makers, and other players.<blockquote>游戏驿站股价随后回落，上周交易价格低于每股40美元。1月下旬的事件短暂扰乱了金融市场，引发了调查，并带来了对在线经纪商、做市商和其他参与者的额外审查，包括备受瞩目的国会听证会。</blockquote> It’s also brought attention to the broader role individual investors are playing and the possibility of a sustained pickup in retail interest that could alter market dynamics over the long run.<blockquote>它还引起了人们对个人投资者所扮演的更广泛角色的关注，以及散户兴趣持续回升的可能性，这可能会从长远来看改变市场动态。</blockquote> The broader stock marketsaw steep lossesthat deepened ahead of the closing bell, though the tech-led fall was blamed largely on a sharp jump in Treasury yields. The Dow Jones Industrial Average&nbsp;dropped nearly 560 points, or 1.8%. The S&amp;P 500&nbsp;fell 2.4%, while the Nasdaq Composite&nbsp;dropped 3.5%.<blockquote>尽管科技股主导的下跌主要归咎于美国国债收益率的大幅上涨，但大盘跌幅在收盘前进一步加深。道琼斯工业平均指数下跌近560点，跌幅1.8%。标普500下跌2.4%，纳斯达克综合指数下跌3.5%。</blockquote> Some market watchers, however, saw a possible but not clear-cut link between the GameStop activity and the selloff.<blockquote>然而，一些市场观察人士认为，游戏驿站活动与抛售之间可能存在但不明确的联系。</blockquote> GameStop might still be a popular short among some hedge funds, said Thomas Lee, managing partner and head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, in a Thursday note. That could be fostering a repeat of the late-January “degrossing” episode, in which hedge funds sold assets in order to reduce leverage, in keeping with “value-at-risk” models.<blockquote>Fundstrat Global Advisors管理合伙人兼研究主管Thomas Lee在周四的一份报告中表示，游戏驿站可能仍然是一些对冲基金中受欢迎的空头。这可能会助长1月下旬“去毛利化”事件的重演，当时对冲基金出售资产以降低杠杆率，符合“风险价值”模型。</blockquote> Meanwhile, other market watchers questioned how much fuel existed for for a repeat short squeeze, noting a sharp fall in short interest and expectations that remaining shorts are more adequately hedged against sharp moves.<blockquote>与此同时，其他市场观察人士质疑重复轧空的燃料有多少，他们指出空头兴趣急剧下降，并且预计剩余空头可以更充分地对冲大幅波动。</blockquote> Short interest in GameStop had reached 140% in January, but has since fallen back closer to 30%, noted Edward Moya, senior market analyst at brokerage Oanda, in a note, observing that professional investors likely also see an opportunity near options expiration dates following last month’s action.<blockquote>经纪公司Oanda的高级市场分析师Edward Moya在一份报告中指出，游戏驿站的空头兴趣在1月份达到140%，但此后回落至接近30%，并指出专业投资者也可能在期权到期日附近看到机会继上个月的行动之后。</blockquote> “One thing is clear, the institutional money behind this move found options expiration as a pivotal opportunity that will make it easier for market disruptions,” Moya wrote. “The violent price swings might remain elevated around options expirations for the Reddit-WallStreetBets crowd.”<blockquote>莫亚写道：“有一点是明确的，这一举措背后的机构资金发现期权到期是一个关键机会，这将使市场更容易受到干扰。”“对于Reddit-WallStreetBets人群来说，期权到期前后的剧烈价格波动可能会继续加剧。”</blockquote>","source":"market_watch","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>GameStop Round 2?

By buying far “out of the money” calls, which have a strike price well above the stock’s present level, investors are betting that a surge in the stock price will net them a healthy profit.<blockquote>看涨期权期权是一种金融工具，赋予持有人在特定日期之前以设定价格（称为执行价格）购买标的证券的权利，但没有义务。通过购买执行价格远高于该股目前水平的“价外”评级，投资者押注股价飙升将为他们带来可观的利润。</blockquote> Buying far out of the money calls is usually a losing proposition, analysts noted, and a surge in interest can make the strategy more expensive as premiums rise in response to demand.<blockquote>分析师指出，远超本钱买入评级通常是一个失败的提议，随着溢价因需求而上升，兴趣激增可能会使该策略变得更加昂贵。</blockquote> But the options buying can, under certain circumstances, create conditions in which a price rally feeds on itself.

That could be fostering a repeat of the late-January “degrossing” episode, in which hedge funds sold assets in order to reduce leverage, in keeping with “value-at-risk” models.<blockquote>Fundstrat Global Advisors管理合伙人兼研究主管Thomas Lee在周四的一份报告中表示，游戏驿站可能仍然是一些对冲基金中受欢迎的空头。这可能会助长1月下旬“去毛利化”事件的重演，当时对冲基金出售资产以降低杠杆率，符合“风险价值”模型。</blockquote> Meanwhile, other market watchers questioned how much fuel existed for for a repeat short squeeze, noting a sharp fall in short interest and expectations that remaining shorts are more adequately hedged against sharp moves.<blockquote>与此同时，其他市场观察人士质疑重复轧空的燃料有多少，他们指出空头兴趣急剧下降，并且预计剩余空头可以更充分地对冲大幅波动。</blockquote> Short interest in GameStop had reached 140% in January, but has since fallen back closer to 30%, noted Edward Moya, senior market analyst at brokerage Oanda, in a note, observing that professional investors likely also see an opportunity near options expiration dates following last month’s action.<blockquote>经纪公司Oanda的高级市场分析师Edward Moya在一份报告中指出，游戏驿站的空头兴趣在1月份达到140%，但此后回落至接近30%，并指出专业投资者也可能在期权到期日附近看到机会继上个月的行动之后。</blockquote> “One thing is clear, the institutional money behind this move found options expiration as a pivotal opportunity that will make it easier for market disruptions,” Moya wrote. “The violent price swings might remain elevated around options expirations for the Reddit-WallStreetBets crowd.”<blockquote>莫亚写道：“有一点是明确的，这一举措背后的机构资金发现期权到期是一个关键机会，这将使市场更容易受到干扰。”“对于Reddit-WallStreetBets人群来说，期权到期前后的剧烈价格波动可能会继续加剧。”</blockquote>","source":"market_watch","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>GameStop Round 2?

By buying far “out of the money” calls, which have a strike price well above the stock’s present level, investors are betting that a surge in the stock price will net them a healthy profit.<blockquote>看涨期权期权是一种金融工具，赋予持有人在特定日期之前以设定价格（称为执行价格）购买标的证券的权利，但没有义务。通过购买执行价格远高于该股目前水平的“价外”评级，投资者押注股价飙升将为他们带来可观的利润。</blockquote> Buying far out of the money calls is usually a losing proposition, analysts noted, and a surge in interest can make the strategy more expensive as premiums rise in response to demand.<blockquote>分析师指出，远超本钱买入评级通常是一个失败的提议，随着溢价因需求而上升，兴趣激增可能会使该策略变得更加昂贵。</blockquote> But the options buying can, under certain circumstances, create conditions in which a price rally feeds on itself.

That could be fostering a repeat of the late-January “degrossing” episode, in which hedge funds sold assets in order to reduce leverage, in keeping with “value-at-risk” models.<blockquote>Fundstrat Global Advisors管理合伙人兼研究主管Thomas Lee在周四的一份报告中表示，游戏驿站可能仍然是一些对冲基金中受欢迎的空头。这可能会助长1月下旬“去毛利化”事件的重演，当时对冲基金出售资产以降低杠杆率，符合“风险价值”模型。</blockquote> Meanwhile, other market watchers questioned how much fuel existed for for a repeat short squeeze, noting a sharp fall in short interest and expectations that remaining shorts are more adequately hedged against sharp moves.<blockquote>与此同时，其他市场观察人士质疑重复轧空的燃料有多少，他们指出空头兴趣急剧下降，并且预计剩余空头可以更充分地对冲大幅波动。</blockquote> Short interest in GameStop had reached 140% in January, but has since fallen back closer to 30%, noted Edward Moya, senior market analyst at brokerage Oanda, in a note, observing that professional investors likely also see an opportunity near options expiration dates following last month’s action.<blockquote>经纪公司Oanda的高级市场分析师Edward Moya在一份报告中指出，游戏驿站的空头兴趣在1月份达到140%，但此后回落至接近30%，并指出专业投资者也可能在期权到期日附近看到机会继上个月的行动之后。</blockquote> “One thing is clear, the institutional money behind this move found options expiration as a pivotal opportunity that will make it easier for market disruptions,” Moya wrote. “The violent price swings might remain elevated around options expirations for the Reddit-WallStreetBets crowd.”<blockquote>莫亚写道：“有一点是明确的，这一举措背后的机构资金发现期权到期是一个关键机会，这将使市场更容易受到干扰。”“对于Reddit-WallStreetBets人群来说，期权到期前后的剧烈价格波动可能会继续加剧。”</blockquote>","source":"market_watch","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>GameStop Round 2?

But unlike last month’s market-rattling move, it wasn’t clear that individual investors were the primary driver.<blockquote>另一场由期权引发的购买狂潮似乎导致游戏驿站公司和其他“模因”股票的股价周四飙升。但与上个月令市场不安的举动不同，目前尚不清楚个人投资者是否是主要驱动力。</blockquote> The primary mechanism, however, appeared largely the same.<blockquote>然而，主要机制似乎基本相同。</blockquote> A surge in purchases of GameStop call options, centered on those with a strike price of $60 and due to expire at the end of the week, was seen late Wednesday afternoon, said Gust Kepler, chief executive of BlackBoxStocks, a stock-and-options analytics and social platform. That triggered an alert sent by BlackBoxStocks at 3:27 p.m. Eastern, he said. Another alert was triggered early Thursday by heavy interest in calls with a $125 strike price.<blockquote>股票和期权公司BlackBoxStocks首席执行官Gust Kepler表示，周三下午晚些时候，游戏驿站·看涨期权期权的购买量激增，主要集中在执行价为60美元、将于本周末到期的期权上。分析和社交平台。这触发了BlackBoxStocks在下午3点27分发送的警报。东方，他说。周四早些时候，由于对评级的浓厚兴趣，执行价为125美元，引发了另一个警报。</blockquote> The company tracks options buying activity, with an eye toward large institutional buyers. Concerted activity by individual investors can also be picked up as brokers, which are part of the institutional universe, move to fill orders. The recent activity appeared to likely be a combination of big, professional players as well as individual buyers, Kepler said, in an interview.<blockquote>该公司跟踪期权购买活动，关注大型机构买家。随着作为机构世界一部分的经纪商开始履行订单，个人投资者的一致活动也可能被发现。开普勒在接受采访时表示，最近的活动似乎可能是大型专业参与者和个人买家的结合。</blockquote> ‘Gamma squeeze’<blockquote>“伽马挤压”</blockquote> A call option is a financial instrument that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy the underlying security at a set price, known as the strike price, by a certain date. By buying far “out of the money” calls, which have a strike price well above the stock’s present level, investors are betting that a surge in the stock price will net them a healthy profit.<blockquote>看涨期权期权是一种金融工具，赋予持有人在特定日期之前以设定价格（称为执行价格）购买标的证券的权利，但没有义务。通过购买执行价格远高于该股目前水平的“价外”评级，投资者押注股价飙升将为他们带来可观的利润。</blockquote> Buying far out of the money calls is usually a losing proposition, analysts noted, and a surge in interest can make the strategy more expensive as premiums rise in response to demand.<blockquote>分析师指出，远超本钱买入评级通常是一个失败的提议，随着溢价因需求而上升，兴趣激增可能会使该策略变得更加昂贵。</blockquote> But the options buying can, under certain circumstances, create conditions in which a price rally feeds on itself. Known as a “gamma squeeze,” this occurs when the sellers of the call options, in order to hedge their positions, buy the underlying stock. As the price of the stock rises, they need to buy more to maintain their hedge, creating the feedback loop.<blockquote>但在某些情况下，期权购买可以创造价格上涨的条件。这种情况被称为“伽马挤压”，当看涨期权期权的卖方为了对冲其头寸而购买标的股票时就会发生。随着股票价格上涨，他们需要购买更多来维持对冲，从而形成反馈循环。</blockquote> GameStop&nbsp;shares soared in late afternoon trade Wednesday, prompting trading halts before it&nbsp;ended with a gain of 104%.Nearly 65 million shares changed hands, with volume surging as the closing bell neared, compared with a recent average daily volume of 14.7 million shares. GameStop shares&nbsp;popped as much as 85% at Thursday’s opening bell. Gains were trimmed by the close, but it still finished at $108.73, up more than 18%.<blockquote>周三下午晚些时候，游戏驿站股价飙升，导致交易暂停，最终上涨104%。近6500万股易手，临近收盘时成交量激增，而近期日均成交量为1470万股。周四开盘时，游戏驿站股价飙升85%。收盘时涨幅有所收窄，但仍收于108.73美元，涨幅超过18%。</blockquote> Where are the shorts?<blockquote>短裤在哪里？</blockquote> GameStop, which ended last year near $17 a share, soared as high as $483 in late January as concerted buying efforts initiated by individual investors on Reddit’s WallStreetBets forum contributed to a short squeeze, forcing traders who had bet on falling stock prices to cover their positions, adding to the buying frenzy.<blockquote>游戏驿站去年收盘价接近每股17美元，1月下旬飙升至483美元，原因是个人投资者在Reddit的WallStreetBets论坛上发起的一致买入努力导致了空头挤压，迫使押注股价下跌的交易员回补头寸，加剧了购买狂潮。</blockquote> GameStop shares subsequently fell back, trading below $40 a share last week. The late-January episode briefly rattled financial markets, triggered investigations and brought additional scrutiny, including a high-profile congressional hearing, on online brokers, market makers, and other players.<blockquote>游戏驿站股价随后回落，上周交易价格低于每股40美元。1月下旬的事件短暂扰乱了金融市场，引发了调查，并带来了对在线经纪商、做市商和其他参与者的额外审查，包括备受瞩目的国会听证会。</blockquote> It’s also brought attention to the broader role individual investors are playing and the possibility of a sustained pickup in retail interest that could alter market dynamics over the long run.<blockquote>它还引起了人们对个人投资者所扮演的更广泛角色的关注，以及散户兴趣持续回升的可能性，这可能会从长远来看改变市场动态。</blockquote> The broader stock marketsaw steep lossesthat deepened ahead of the closing bell, though the tech-led fall was blamed largely on a sharp jump in Treasury yields. The Dow Jones Industrial Average&nbsp;dropped nearly 560 points, or 1.8%. The S&amp;P 500&nbsp;fell 2.4%, while the Nasdaq Composite&nbsp;dropped 3.5%.<blockquote>尽管科技股主导的下跌主要归咎于美国国债收益率的大幅上涨，但大盘跌幅在收盘前进一步加深。道琼斯工业平均指数下跌近560点，跌幅1.8%。标普500下跌2.4%，纳斯达克综合指数下跌3.5%。</blockquote> Some market watchers, however, saw a possible but not clear-cut link between the GameStop activity and the selloff.<blockquote>然而，一些市场观察人士认为，游戏驿站活动与抛售之间可能存在但不明确的联系。</blockquote> GameStop might still be a popular short among some hedge funds, said Thomas Lee, managing partner and head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, in a Thursday note.

Gains were trimmed by the close, but it still finished at $108.73, up more than 18%.<blockquote>周三下午晚些时候，游戏驿站股价飙升，导致交易暂停，最终上涨104%。近6500万股易手，临近收盘时成交量激增，而近期日均成交量为1470万股。周四开盘时，游戏驿站股价飙升85%。收盘时涨幅有所收窄，但仍收于108.73美元，涨幅超过18%。</blockquote> Where are the shorts?<blockquote>短裤在哪里？</blockquote> GameStop, which ended last year near $17 a share, soared as high as $483 in late January as concerted buying efforts initiated by individual investors on Reddit’s WallStreetBets forum contributed to a short squeeze, forcing traders who had bet on falling stock prices to cover their positions, adding to the buying frenzy.<blockquote>游戏驿站去年收盘价接近每股17美元，1月下旬飙升至483美元，原因是个人投资者在Reddit的WallStreetBets论坛上发起的一致买入努力导致了空头挤压，迫使押注股价下跌的交易员回补头寸，加剧了购买狂潮。</blockquote> GameStop shares subsequently fell back, trading below $40 a share last week. The late-January episode briefly rattled financial markets, triggered investigations and brought additional scrutiny, including a high-profile congressional hearing, on online brokers, market makers, and other players.<blockquote>游戏驿站股价随后回落，上周交易价格低于每股40美元。1月下旬的事件短暂扰乱了金融市场，引发了调查，并带来了对在线经纪商、做市商和其他参与者的额外审查，包括备受瞩目的国会听证会。</blockquote> It’s also brought attention to the broader role individual investors are playing and the possibility of a sustained pickup in retail interest that could alter market dynamics over the long run.<blockquote>它还引起了人们对个人投资者所扮演的更广泛角色的关注，以及散户兴趣持续回升的可能性，这可能会从长远来看改变市场动态。</blockquote> The broader stock marketsaw steep lossesthat deepened ahead of the closing bell, though the tech-led fall was blamed largely on a sharp jump in Treasury yields. The Dow Jones Industrial Average&nbsp;dropped nearly 560 points, or 1.8%. The S&amp;P 500&nbsp;fell 2.4%, while the Nasdaq Composite&nbsp;dropped 3.5%.<blockquote>尽管科技股主导的下跌主要归咎于美国国债收益率的大幅上涨，但大盘跌幅在收盘前进一步加深。道琼斯工业平均指数下跌近560点，跌幅1.8%。标普500下跌2.4%，纳斯达克综合指数下跌3.5%。</blockquote> Some market watchers, however, saw a possible but not clear-cut link between the GameStop activity and the selloff.<blockquote>然而，一些市场观察人士认为，游戏驿站活动与抛售之间可能存在但不明确的联系。</blockquote> GameStop might still be a popular short among some hedge funds, said Thomas Lee, managing partner and head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, in a Thursday note. That could be fostering a repeat of the late-January “degrossing” episode, in which hedge funds sold assets in order to reduce leverage, in keeping with “value-at-risk” models.<blockquote>Fundstrat Global Advisors管理合伙人兼研究主管Thomas Lee在周四的一份报告中表示，游戏驿站可能仍然是一些对冲基金中受欢迎的空头。这可能会助长1月下旬“去毛利化”事件的重演，当时对冲基金出售资产以降低杠杆率，符合“风险价值”模型。</blockquote> Meanwhile, other market watchers questioned how much fuel existed for for a repeat short squeeze, noting a sharp fall in short interest and expectations that remaining shorts are more adequately hedged against sharp moves.<blockquote>与此同时，其他市场观察人士质疑重复轧空的燃料有多少，他们指出空头兴趣急剧下降，并且预计剩余空头可以更充分地对冲大幅波动。</blockquote> Short interest in GameStop had reached 140% in January, but has since fallen back closer to 30%, noted Edward Moya, senior market analyst at brokerage Oanda, in a note, observing that professional investors likely also see an opportunity near options expiration dates following last month’s action.<blockquote>经纪公司Oanda的高级市场分析师Edward Moya在一份报告中指出，游戏驿站的空头兴趣在1月份达到140%，但此后回落至接近30%，并指出专业投资者也可能在期权到期日附近看到机会继上个月的行动之后。</blockquote> “One thing is clear, the institutional money behind this move found options expiration as a pivotal opportunity that will make it easier for market disruptions,” Moya wrote. “The violent price swings might remain elevated around options expirations for the Reddit-WallStreetBets crowd.”<blockquote>莫亚写道：“有一点是明确的，这一举措背后的机构资金发现期权到期是一个关键机会，这将使市场更容易受到干扰。”“对于Reddit-WallStreetBets人群来说，期权到期前后的剧烈价格波动可能会继续加剧。”</blockquote>","source":"market_watch","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>GameStop Round 2?

But unlike last month’s market-rattling move, it wasn’t clear that individual investors were the primary driver.<blockquote>另一场由期权引发的购买狂潮似乎导致游戏驿站公司和其他“模因”股票的股价周四飙升。但与上个月令市场不安的举动不同，目前尚不清楚个人投资者是否是主要驱动力。</blockquote> The primary mechanism, however, appeared largely the same.<blockquote>然而，主要机制似乎基本相同。</blockquote> A surge in purchases of GameStop call options, centered on those with a strike price of $60 and due to expire at the end of the week, was seen late Wednesday afternoon, said Gust Kepler, chief executive of BlackBoxStocks, a stock-and-options analytics and social platform. That triggered an alert sent by BlackBoxStocks at 3:27 p.m. Eastern, he said. Another alert was triggered early Thursday by heavy interest in calls with a $125 strike price.<blockquote>股票和期权公司BlackBoxStocks首席执行官Gust Kepler表示，周三下午晚些时候，游戏驿站·看涨期权期权的购买量激增，主要集中在执行价为60美元、将于本周末到期的期权上。分析和社交平台。这触发了BlackBoxStocks在下午3点27分发送的警报。东方，他说。周四早些时候，由于对评级的浓厚兴趣，执行价为125美元，引发了另一个警报。</blockquote> The company tracks options buying activity, with an eye toward large institutional buyers. Concerted activity by individual investors can also be picked up as brokers, which are part of the institutional universe, move to fill orders. The recent activity appeared to likely be a combination of big, professional players as well as individual buyers, Kepler said, in an interview.<blockquote>该公司跟踪期权购买活动，关注大型机构买家。随着作为机构世界一部分的经纪商开始履行订单，个人投资者的一致活动也可能被发现。开普勒在接受采访时表示，最近的活动似乎可能是大型专业参与者和个人买家的结合。</blockquote> ‘Gamma squeeze’<blockquote>“伽马挤压”</blockquote> A call option is a financial instrument that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy the underlying security at a set price, known as the strike price, by a certain date. By buying far “out of the money” calls, which have a strike price well above the stock’s present level, investors are betting that a surge in the stock price will net them a healthy profit.<blockquote>看涨期权期权是一种金融工具，赋予持有人在特定日期之前以设定价格（称为执行价格）购买标的证券的权利，但没有义务。通过购买执行价格远高于该股目前水平的“价外”评级，投资者押注股价飙升将为他们带来可观的利润。</blockquote> Buying far out of the money calls is usually a losing proposition, analysts noted, and a surge in interest can make the strategy more expensive as premiums rise in response to demand.<blockquote>分析师指出，远超本钱买入评级通常是一个失败的提议，随着溢价因需求而上升，兴趣激增可能会使该策略变得更加昂贵。</blockquote> But the options buying can, under certain circumstances, create conditions in which a price rally feeds on itself. Known as a “gamma squeeze,” this occurs when the sellers of the call options, in order to hedge their positions, buy the underlying stock. As the price of the stock rises, they need to buy more to maintain their hedge, creating the feedback loop.<blockquote>但在某些情况下，期权购买可以创造价格上涨的条件。这种情况被称为“伽马挤压”，当看涨期权期权的卖方为了对冲其头寸而购买标的股票时就会发生。随着股票价格上涨，他们需要购买更多来维持对冲，从而形成反馈循环。</blockquote> GameStop&nbsp;shares soared in late afternoon trade Wednesday, prompting trading halts before it&nbsp;ended with a gain of 104%.Nearly 65 million shares changed hands, with volume surging as the closing bell neared, compared with a recent average daily volume of 14.7 million shares.

But unlike last month’s market-rattling move, it wasn’t clear that individual investors were the primary driver.<blockquote>另一场由期权引发的购买狂潮似乎导致游戏驿站公司和其他“模因”股票的股价周四飙升。但与上个月令市场不安的举动不同，目前尚不清楚个人投资者是否是主要驱动力。</blockquote> The primary mechanism, however, appeared largely the same.<blockquote>然而，主要机制似乎基本相同。</blockquote> A surge in purchases of GameStop call options, centered on those with a strike price of $60 and due to expire at the end of the week, was seen late Wednesday afternoon, said Gust Kepler, chief executive of BlackBoxStocks, a stock-and-options analytics and social platform. That triggered an alert sent by BlackBoxStocks at 3:27 p.m. Eastern, he said. Another alert was triggered early Thursday by heavy interest in calls with a $125 strike price.<blockquote>股票和期权公司BlackBoxStocks首席执行官Gust Kepler表示，周三下午晚些时候，游戏驿站·看涨期权期权的购买量激增，主要集中在执行价为60美元、将于本周末到期的期权上。分析和社交平台。这触发了BlackBoxStocks在下午3点27分发送的警报。东方，他说。周四早些时候，由于对评级的浓厚兴趣，执行价为125美元，引发了另一个警报。</blockquote> The company tracks options buying activity, with an eye toward large institutional buyers. Concerted activity by individual investors can also be picked up as brokers, which are part of the institutional universe, move to fill orders. The recent activity appeared to likely be a combination of big, professional players as well as individual buyers, Kepler said, in an interview.<blockquote>该公司跟踪期权购买活动，关注大型机构买家。随着作为机构世界一部分的经纪商开始履行订单，个人投资者的一致活动也可能被发现。开普勒在接受采访时表示，最近的活动似乎可能是大型专业参与者和个人买家的结合。</blockquote> ‘Gamma squeeze’<blockquote>“伽马挤压”</blockquote> A call option is a financial instrument that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy the underlying security at a set price, known as the strike price, by a certain date. By buying far “out of the money” calls, which have a strike price well above the stock’s present level, investors are betting that a surge in the stock price will net them a healthy profit.<blockquote>看涨期权期权是一种金融工具，赋予持有人在特定日期之前以设定价格（称为执行价格）购买标的证券的权利，但没有义务。通过购买执行价格远高于该股目前水平的“价外”评级，投资者押注股价飙升将为他们带来可观的利润。</blockquote> Buying far out of the money calls is usually a losing proposition, analysts noted, and a surge in interest can make the strategy more expensive as premiums rise in response to demand.<blockquote>分析师指出，远超本钱买入评级通常是一个失败的提议，随着溢价因需求而上升，兴趣激增可能会使该策略变得更加昂贵。</blockquote> But the options buying can, under certain circumstances, create conditions in which a price rally feeds on itself. Known as a “gamma squeeze,” this occurs when the sellers of the call options, in order to hedge their positions, buy the underlying stock. As the price of the stock rises, they need to buy more to maintain their hedge, creating the feedback loop.<blockquote>但在某些情况下，期权购买可以创造价格上涨的条件。这种情况被称为“伽马挤压”，当看涨期权期权的卖方为了对冲其头寸而购买标的股票时就会发生。随着股票价格上涨，他们需要购买更多来维持对冲，从而形成反馈循环。</blockquote> GameStop&nbsp;shares soared in late afternoon trade Wednesday, prompting trading halts before it&nbsp;ended with a gain of 104%.Nearly 65 million shares changed hands, with volume surging as the closing bell neared, compared with a recent average daily volume of 14.7 million shares. GameStop shares&nbsp;popped as much as 85% at Thursday’s opening bell. Gains were trimmed by the close, but it still finished at $108.73, up more than 18%.<blockquote>周三下午晚些时候，游戏驿站股价飙升，导致交易暂停，最终上涨104%。近6500万股易手，临近收盘时成交量激增，而近期日均成交量为1470万股。周四开盘时，游戏驿站股价飙升85%。收盘时涨幅有所收窄，但仍收于108.73美元，涨幅超过18%。</blockquote> Where are the shorts?<blockquote>短裤在哪里？</blockquote> GameStop, which ended last year near $17 a share, soared as high as $483 in late January as concerted buying efforts initiated by individual investors on Reddit’s WallStreetBets forum contributed to a short squeeze, forcing traders who had bet on falling stock prices to cover their positions, adding to the buying frenzy.<blockquote>游戏驿站去年收盘价接近每股17美元，1月下旬飙升至483美元，原因是个人投资者在Reddit的WallStreetBets论坛上发起的一致买入努力导致了空头挤压，迫使押注股价下跌的交易员回补头寸，加剧了购买狂潮。</blockquote> GameStop shares subsequently fell back, trading below $40 a share last week. The late-January episode briefly rattled financial markets, triggered investigations and brought additional scrutiny, including a high-profile congressional hearing, on online brokers, market makers, and other players.<blockquote>游戏驿站股价随后回落，上周交易价格低于每股40美元。1月下旬的事件短暂扰乱了金融市场，引发了调查，并带来了对在线经纪商、做市商和其他参与者的额外审查，包括备受瞩目的国会听证会。</blockquote> It’s also brought attention to the broader role individual investors are playing and the possibility of a sustained pickup in retail interest that could alter market dynamics over the long run.<blockquote>它还引起了人们对个人投资者所扮演的更广泛角色的关注，以及散户兴趣持续回升的可能性，这可能会从长远来看改变市场动态。</blockquote> The broader stock marketsaw steep lossesthat deepened ahead of the closing bell, though the tech-led fall was blamed largely on a sharp jump in Treasury yields. The Dow Jones Industrial Average&nbsp;dropped nearly 560 points, or 1.8%. The S&amp;P 500&nbsp;fell 2.4%, while the Nasdaq Composite&nbsp;dropped 3.5%.<blockquote>尽管科技股主导的下跌主要归咎于美国国债收益率的大幅上涨，但大盘跌幅在收盘前进一步加深。道琼斯工业平均指数下跌近560点，跌幅1.8%。标普500下跌2.4%，纳斯达克综合指数下跌3.5%。</blockquote> Some market watchers, however, saw a possible but not clear-cut link between the GameStop activity and the selloff.<blockquote>然而，一些市场观察人士认为，游戏驿站活动与抛售之间可能存在但不明确的联系。</blockquote> GameStop might still be a popular short among some hedge funds, said Thomas Lee, managing partner and head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, in a Thursday note. That could be fostering a repeat of the late-January “degrossing” episode, in which hedge funds sold assets in order to reduce leverage, in keeping with “value-at-risk” models.<blockquote>Fundstrat Global Advisors管理合伙人兼研究主管Thomas Lee在周四的一份报告中表示，游戏驿站可能仍然是一些对冲基金中受欢迎的空头。这可能会助长1月下旬“去毛利化”事件的重演，当时对冲基金出售资产以降低杠杆率，符合“风险价值”模型。</blockquote> Meanwhile, other market watchers questioned how much fuel existed for for a repeat short squeeze, noting a sharp fall in short interest and expectations that remaining shorts are more adequately hedged against sharp moves.<blockquote>与此同时，其他市场观察人士质疑重复轧空的燃料有多少，他们指出空头兴趣急剧下降，并且预计剩余空头可以更充分地对冲大幅波动。</blockquote> Short interest in GameStop had reached 140% in January, but has since fallen back closer to 30%, noted Edward Moya, senior market analyst at brokerage Oanda, in a note, observing that professional investors likely also see an opportunity near options expiration dates following last month’s action.<blockquote>经纪公司Oanda的高级市场分析师Edward Moya在一份报告中指出，游戏驿站的空头兴趣在1月份达到140%，但此后回落至接近30%，并指出专业投资者也可能在期权到期日附近看到机会继上个月的行动之后。</blockquote> “One thing is clear, the institutional money behind this move found options expiration as a pivotal opportunity that will make it easier for market disruptions,” Moya wrote. “The violent price swings might remain elevated around options expirations for the Reddit-WallStreetBets crowd.”<blockquote>莫亚写道：“有一点是明确的，这一举措背后的机构资金发现期权到期是一个关键机会，这将使市场更容易受到干扰。”“对于Reddit-WallStreetBets人群来说，期权到期前后的剧烈价格波动可能会继续加剧。”</blockquote>","source":"market_watch","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>GameStop Round 2?

But unlike last month’s market-rattling move, it wasn’t clear that individual investors were the primary driver.<blockquote>另一场由期权引发的购买狂潮似乎导致游戏驿站公司和其他“模因”股票的股价周四飙升。但与上个月令市场不安的举动不同，目前尚不清楚个人投资者是否是主要驱动力。</blockquote> The primary mechanism, however, appeared largely the same.<blockquote>然而，主要机制似乎基本相同。</blockquote> A surge in purchases of GameStop call options, centered on those with a strike price of $60 and due to expire at the end of the week, was seen late Wednesday afternoon, said Gust Kepler, chief executive of BlackBoxStocks, a stock-and-options analytics and social platform. That triggered an alert sent by BlackBoxStocks at 3:27 p.m. Eastern, he said. Another alert was triggered early Thursday by heavy interest in calls with a $125 strike price.<blockquote>股票和期权公司BlackBoxStocks首席执行官Gust Kepler表示，周三下午晚些时候，游戏驿站·看涨期权期权的购买量激增，主要集中在执行价为60美元、将于本周末到期的期权上。分析和社交平台。这触发了BlackBoxStocks在下午3点27分发送的警报。东方，他说。周四早些时候，由于对评级的浓厚兴趣，执行价为125美元，引发了另一个警报。</blockquote> The company tracks options buying activity, with an eye toward large institutional buyers. Concerted activity by individual investors can also be picked up as brokers, which are part of the institutional universe, move to fill orders. The recent activity appeared to likely be a combination of big, professional players as well as individual buyers, Kepler said, in an interview.<blockquote>该公司跟踪期权购买活动，关注大型机构买家。随着作为机构世界一部分的经纪商开始履行订单，个人投资者的一致活动也可能被发现。开普勒在接受采访时表示，最近的活动似乎可能是大型专业参与者和个人买家的结合。</blockquote> ‘Gamma squeeze’<blockquote>“伽马挤压”</blockquote> A call option is a financial instrument that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy the underlying security at a set price, known as the strike price, by a certain date. By buying far “out of the money” calls, which have a strike price well above the stock’s present level, investors are betting that a surge in the stock price will net them a healthy profit.<blockquote>看涨期权期权是一种金融工具，赋予持有人在特定日期之前以设定价格（称为执行价格）购买标的证券的权利，但没有义务。通过购买执行价格远高于该股目前水平的“价外”评级，投资者押注股价飙升将为他们带来可观的利润。</blockquote> Buying far out of the money calls is usually a losing proposition, analysts noted, and a surge in interest can make the strategy more expensive as premiums rise in response to demand.<blockquote>分析师指出，远超本钱买入评级通常是一个失败的提议，随着溢价因需求而上升，兴趣激增可能会使该策略变得更加昂贵。</blockquote> But the options buying can, under certain circumstances, create conditions in which a price rally feeds on itself. Known as a “gamma squeeze,” this occurs when the sellers of the call options, in order to hedge their positions, buy the underlying stock. As the price of the stock rises, they need to buy more to maintain their hedge, creating the feedback loop.<blockquote>但在某些情况下，期权购买可以创造价格上涨的条件。这种情况被称为“伽马挤压”，当看涨期权期权的卖方为了对冲其头寸而购买标的股票时就会发生。随着股票价格上涨，他们需要购买更多来维持对冲，从而形成反馈循环。</blockquote> GameStop&nbsp;shares soared in late afternoon trade Wednesday, prompting trading halts before it&nbsp;ended with a gain of 104%.Nearly 65 million shares changed hands, with volume surging as the closing bell neared, compared with a recent average daily volume of 14.7 million shares. GameStop shares&nbsp;popped as much as 85% at Thursday’s opening bell. Gains were trimmed by the close, but it still finished at $108.73, up more than 18%.<blockquote>周三下午晚些时候，游戏驿站股价飙升，导致交易暂停，最终上涨104%。近6500万股易手，临近收盘时成交量激增，而近期日均成交量为1470万股。周四开盘时，游戏驿站股价飙升85%。收盘时涨幅有所收窄，但仍收于108.73美元，涨幅超过18%。</blockquote> Where are the shorts?<blockquote>短裤在哪里？</blockquote> GameStop, which ended last year near $17 a share, soared as high as $483 in late January as concerted buying efforts initiated by individual investors on Reddit’s WallStreetBets forum contributed to a short squeeze, forcing traders who had bet on falling stock prices to cover their positions, adding to the buying frenzy.<blockquote>游戏驿站去年收盘价接近每股17美元，1月下旬飙升至483美元，原因是个人投资者在Reddit的WallStreetBets论坛上发起的一致买入努力导致了空头挤压，迫使押注股价下跌的交易员回补头寸，加剧了购买狂潮。</blockquote> GameStop shares subsequently fell back, trading below $40 a share last week. The late-January episode briefly rattled financial markets, triggered investigations and brought additional scrutiny, including a high-profile congressional hearing, on online brokers, market makers, and other players.<blockquote>游戏驿站股价随后回落，上周交易价格低于每股40美元。1月下旬的事件短暂扰乱了金融市场，引发了调查，并带来了对在线经纪商、做市商和其他参与者的额外审查，包括备受瞩目的国会听证会。</blockquote> It’s also brought attention to the broader role individual investors are playing and the possibility of a sustained pickup in retail interest that could alter market dynamics over the long run.<blockquote>它还引起了人们对个人投资者所扮演的更广泛角色的关注，以及散户兴趣持续回升的可能性，这可能会从长远来看改变市场动态。</blockquote> The broader stock marketsaw steep lossesthat deepened ahead of the closing bell, though the tech-led fall was blamed largely on a sharp jump in Treasury yields. The Dow Jones Industrial Average&nbsp;dropped nearly 560 points, or 1.8%. The S&amp;P 500&nbsp;fell 2.4%, while the Nasdaq Composite&nbsp;dropped 3.5%.<blockquote>尽管科技股主导的下跌主要归咎于美国国债收益率的大幅上涨，但大盘跌幅在收盘前进一步加深。道琼斯工业平均指数下跌近560点，跌幅1.8%。标普500下跌2.4%，纳斯达克综合指数下跌3.5%。</blockquote> Some market watchers, however, saw a possible but not clear-cut link between the GameStop activity and the selloff.<blockquote>然而，一些市场观察人士认为，游戏驿站活动与抛售之间可能存在但不明确的联系。</blockquote> GameStop might still be a popular short among some hedge funds, said Thomas Lee, managing partner and head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, in a Thursday note. That could be fostering a repeat of the late-January “degrossing” episode, in which hedge funds sold assets in order to reduce leverage, in keeping with “value-at-risk” models.<blockquote>Fundstrat Global Advisors管理合伙人兼研究主管Thomas Lee在周四的一份报告中表示，游戏驿站可能仍然是一些对冲基金中受欢迎的空头。这可能会助长1月下旬“去毛利化”事件的重演，当时对冲基金出售资产以降低杠杆率，符合“风险价值”模型。</blockquote> Meanwhile, other market watchers questioned how much fuel existed for for a repeat short squeeze, noting a sharp fall in short interest and expectations that remaining shorts are more adequately hedged against sharp moves.<blockquote>与此同时，其他市场观察人士质疑重复轧空的燃料有多少，他们指出空头兴趣急剧下降，并且预计剩余空头可以更充分地对冲大幅波动。</blockquote> Short interest in GameStop had reached 140% in January, but has since fallen back closer to 30%, noted Edward Moya, senior market analyst at brokerage Oanda, in a note, observing that professional investors likely also see an opportunity near options expiration dates following last month’s action.<blockquote>经纪公司Oanda的高级市场分析师Edward Moya在一份报告中指出，游戏驿站的空头兴趣在1月份达到140%，但此后回落至接近30%，并指出专业投资者也可能在期权到期日附近看到机会继上个月的行动之后。</blockquote> “One thing is clear, the institutional money behind this move found options expiration as a pivotal opportunity that will make it easier for market disruptions,” Moya wrote. “The violent price swings might remain elevated around options expirations for the Reddit-WallStreetBets crowd.”<blockquote>莫亚写道：“有一点是明确的，这一举措背后的机构资金发现期权到期是一个关键机会，这将使市场更容易受到干扰。”“对于Reddit-WallStreetBets人群来说，期权到期前后的剧烈价格波动可能会继续加剧。”</blockquote>","source":"market_watch","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>GameStop Round 2?

But unlike last month’s market-rattling move, it wasn’t clear that individual investors were the primary driver.<blockquote>另一场由期权引发的购买狂潮似乎导致游戏驿站公司和其他“模因”股票的股价周四飙升。但与上个月令市场不安的举动不同，目前尚不清楚个人投资者是否是主要驱动力。</blockquote> The primary mechanism, however, appeared largely the same.<blockquote>然而，主要机制似乎基本相同。</blockquote> A surge in purchases of GameStop call options, centered on those with a strike price of $60 and due to expire at the end of the week, was seen late Wednesday afternoon, said Gust Kepler, chief executive of BlackBoxStocks, a stock-and-options analytics and social platform. That triggered an alert sent by BlackBoxStocks at 3:27 p.m. Eastern, he said. Another alert was triggered early Thursday by heavy interest in calls with a $125 strike price.<blockquote>股票和期权公司BlackBoxStocks首席执行官Gust Kepler表示，周三下午晚些时候，游戏驿站·看涨期权期权的购买量激增，主要集中在执行价为60美元、将于本周末到期的期权上。分析和社交平台。这触发了BlackBoxStocks在下午3点27分发送的警报。东方，他说。周四早些时候，由于对评级的浓厚兴趣，执行价为125美元，引发了另一个警报。</blockquote> The company tracks options buying activity, with an eye toward large institutional buyers. Concerted activity by individual investors can also be picked up as brokers, which are part of the institutional universe, move to fill orders. The recent activity appeared to likely be a combination of big, professional players as well as individual buyers, Kepler said, in an interview.<blockquote>该公司跟踪期权购买活动，关注大型机构买家。随着作为机构世界一部分的经纪商开始履行订单，个人投资者的一致活动也可能被发现。开普勒在接受采访时表示，最近的活动似乎可能是大型专业参与者和个人买家的结合。</blockquote> ‘Gamma squeeze’<blockquote>“伽马挤压”</blockquote> A call option is a financial instrument that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy the underlying security at a set price, known as the strike price, by a certain date. By buying far “out of the money” calls, which have a strike price well above the stock’s present level, investors are betting that a surge in the stock price will net them a healthy profit.<blockquote>看涨期权期权是一种金融工具，赋予持有人在特定日期之前以设定价格（称为执行价格）购买标的证券的权利，但没有义务。通过购买执行价格远高于该股目前水平的“价外”评级，投资者押注股价飙升将为他们带来可观的利润。</blockquote> Buying far out of the money calls is usually a losing proposition, analysts noted, and a surge in interest can make the strategy more expensive as premiums rise in response to demand.<blockquote>分析师指出，远超本钱买入评级通常是一个失败的提议，随着溢价因需求而上升，兴趣激增可能会使该策略变得更加昂贵。</blockquote> But the options buying can, under certain circumstances, create conditions in which a price rally feeds on itself. Known as a “gamma squeeze,” this occurs when the sellers of the call options, in order to hedge their positions, buy the underlying stock. As the price of the stock rises, they need to buy more to maintain their hedge, creating the feedback loop.<blockquote>但在某些情况下，期权购买可以创造价格上涨的条件。这种情况被称为“伽马挤压”，当看涨期权期权的卖方为了对冲其头寸而购买标的股票时就会发生。随着股票价格上涨，他们需要购买更多来维持对冲，从而形成反馈循环。</blockquote> GameStop&nbsp;shares soared in late afternoon trade Wednesday, prompting trading halts before it&nbsp;ended with a gain of 104%.Nearly 65 million shares changed hands, with volume surging as the closing bell neared, compared with a recent average daily volume of 14.7 million shares. GameStop shares&nbsp;popped as much as 85% at Thursday’s opening bell. Gains were trimmed by the close, but it still finished at $108.73, up more than 18%.<blockquote>周三下午晚些时候，游戏驿站股价飙升，导致交易暂停，最终上涨104%。近6500万股易手，临近收盘时成交量激增，而近期日均成交量为1470万股。周四开盘时，游戏驿站股价飙升85%。收盘时涨幅有所收窄，但仍收于108.73美元，涨幅超过18%。</blockquote> Where are the shorts?<blockquote>短裤在哪里？</blockquote> GameStop, which ended last year near $17 a share, soared as high as $483 in late January as concerted buying efforts initiated by individual investors on Reddit’s WallStreetBets forum contributed to a short squeeze, forcing traders who had bet on falling stock prices to cover their positions, adding to the buying frenzy.<blockquote>游戏驿站去年收盘价接近每股17美元，1月下旬飙升至483美元，原因是个人投资者在Reddit的WallStreetBets论坛上发起的一致买入努力导致了空头挤压，迫使押注股价下跌的交易员回补头寸，加剧了购买狂潮。</blockquote> GameStop shares subsequently fell back, trading below $40 a share last week. The late-January episode briefly rattled financial markets, triggered investigations and brought additional scrutiny, including a high-profile congressional hearing, on online brokers, market makers, and other players.<blockquote>游戏驿站股价随后回落，上周交易价格低于每股40美元。1月下旬的事件短暂扰乱了金融市场，引发了调查，并带来了对在线经纪商、做市商和其他参与者的额外审查，包括备受瞩目的国会听证会。</blockquote> It’s also brought attention to the broader role individual investors are playing and the possibility of a sustained pickup in retail interest that could alter market dynamics over the long run.<blockquote>它还引起了人们对个人投资者所扮演的更广泛角色的关注，以及散户兴趣持续回升的可能性，这可能会从长远来看改变市场动态。</blockquote> The broader stock marketsaw steep lossesthat deepened ahead of the closing bell, though the tech-led fall was blamed largely on a sharp jump in Treasury yields. The Dow Jones Industrial Average&nbsp;dropped nearly 560 points, or 1.8%. The S&amp;P 500&nbsp;fell 2.4%, while the Nasdaq Composite&nbsp;dropped 3.5%.<blockquote>尽管科技股主导的下跌主要归咎于美国国债收益率的大幅上涨，但大盘跌幅在收盘前进一步加深。道琼斯工业平均指数下跌近560点，跌幅1.8%。标普500下跌2.4%，纳斯达克综合指数下跌3.5%。</blockquote> Some market watchers, however, saw a possible but not clear-cut link between the GameStop activity and the selloff.<blockquote>然而，一些市场观察人士认为，游戏驿站活动与抛售之间可能存在但不明确的联系。</blockquote> GameStop might still be a popular short among some hedge funds, said Thomas Lee, managing partner and head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, in a Thursday note. That could be fostering a repeat of the late-January “degrossing” episode, in which hedge funds sold assets in order to reduce leverage, in keeping with “value-at-risk” models.<blockquote>Fundstrat Global Advisors管理合伙人兼研究主管Thomas Lee在周四的一份报告中表示，游戏驿站可能仍然是一些对冲基金中受欢迎的空头。这可能会助长1月下旬“去毛利化”事件的重演，当时对冲基金出售资产以降低杠杆率，符合“风险价值”模型。</blockquote> Meanwhile, other market watchers questioned how much fuel existed for for a repeat short squeeze, noting a sharp fall in short interest and expectations that remaining shorts are more adequately hedged against sharp moves.<blockquote>与此同时，其他市场观察人士质疑重复轧空的燃料有多少，他们指出空头兴趣急剧下降，并且预计剩余空头可以更充分地对冲大幅波动。</blockquote> Short interest in GameStop had reached 140% in January, but has since fallen back closer to 30%, noted Edward Moya, senior market analyst at brokerage Oanda, in a note, observing that professional investors likely also see an opportunity near options expiration dates following last month’s action.<blockquote>经纪公司Oanda的高级市场分析师Edward Moya在一份报告中指出，游戏驿站的空头兴趣在1月份达到140%，但此后回落至接近30%，并指出专业投资者也可能在期权到期日附近看到机会继上个月的行动之后。</blockquote> “One thing is clear, the institutional money behind this move found options expiration as a pivotal opportunity that will make it easier for market disruptions,” Moya wrote. “The violent price swings might remain elevated around options expirations for the Reddit-WallStreetBets crowd.”<blockquote>莫亚写道：“有一点是明确的，这一举措背后的机构资金发现期权到期是一个关键机会，这将使市场更容易受到干扰。”“对于Reddit-WallStreetBets人群来说，期权到期前后的剧烈价格波动可能会继续加剧。”</blockquote>","source":"market_watch","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>GameStop Round 2?

But unlike last month’s market-rattling move, it wasn’t clear that individual investors were the primary driver.<blockquote>另一场由期权引发的购买狂潮似乎导致游戏驿站公司和其他“模因”股票的股价周四飙升。但与上个月令市场不安的举动不同，目前尚不清楚个人投资者是否是主要驱动力。</blockquote> The primary mechanism, however, appeared largely the same.<blockquote>然而，主要机制似乎基本相同。</blockquote> A surge in purchases of GameStop call options, centered on those with a strike price of $60 and due to expire at the end of the week, was seen late Wednesday afternoon, said Gust Kepler, chief executive of BlackBoxStocks, a stock-and-options analytics and social platform. That triggered an alert sent by BlackBoxStocks at 3:27 p.m. Eastern, he said. Another alert was triggered early Thursday by heavy interest in calls with a $125 strike price.<blockquote>股票和期权公司BlackBoxStocks首席执行官Gust Kepler表示，周三下午晚些时候，游戏驿站·看涨期权期权的购买量激增，主要集中在执行价为60美元、将于本周末到期的期权上。分析和社交平台。这触发了BlackBoxStocks在下午3点27分发送的警报。东方，他说。周四早些时候，由于对评级的浓厚兴趣，执行价为125美元，引发了另一个警报。</blockquote> The company tracks options buying activity, with an eye toward large institutional buyers. Concerted activity by individual investors can also be picked up as brokers, which are part of the institutional universe, move to fill orders. The recent activity appeared to likely be a combination of big, professional players as well as individual buyers, Kepler said, in an interview.<blockquote>该公司跟踪期权购买活动，关注大型机构买家。随着作为机构世界一部分的经纪商开始履行订单，个人投资者的一致活动也可能被发现。开普勒在接受采访时表示，最近的活动似乎可能是大型专业参与者和个人买家的结合。</blockquote> ‘Gamma squeeze’<blockquote>“伽马挤压”</blockquote> A call option is a financial instrument that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy the underlying security at a set price, known as the strike price, by a certain date. By buying far “out of the money” calls, which have a strike price well above the stock’s present level, investors are betting that a surge in the stock price will net them a healthy profit.<blockquote>看涨期权期权是一种金融工具，赋予持有人在特定日期之前以设定价格（称为执行价格）购买标的证券的权利，但没有义务。通过购买执行价格远高于该股目前水平的“价外”评级，投资者押注股价飙升将为他们带来可观的利润。</blockquote> Buying far out of the money calls is usually a losing proposition, analysts noted, and a surge in interest can make the strategy more expensive as premiums rise in response to demand.<blockquote>分析师指出，远超本钱买入评级通常是一个失败的提议，随着溢价因需求而上升，兴趣激增可能会使该策略变得更加昂贵。</blockquote> But the options buying can, under certain circumstances, create conditions in which a price rally feeds on itself. Known as a “gamma squeeze,” this occurs when the sellers of the call options, in order to hedge their positions, buy the underlying stock. As the price of the stock rises, they need to buy more to maintain their hedge, creating the feedback loop.<blockquote>但在某些情况下，期权购买可以创造价格上涨的条件。这种情况被称为“伽马挤压”，当看涨期权期权的卖方为了对冲其头寸而购买标的股票时就会发生。随着股票价格上涨，他们需要购买更多来维持对冲，从而形成反馈循环。</blockquote> GameStop&nbsp;shares soared in late afternoon trade Wednesday, prompting trading halts before it&nbsp;ended with a gain of 104%.Nearly 65 million shares changed hands, with volume surging as the closing bell neared, compared with a recent average daily volume of 14.7 million shares. GameStop shares&nbsp;popped as much as 85% at Thursday’s opening bell. Gains were trimmed by the close, but it still finished at $108.73, up more than 18%.<blockquote>周三下午晚些时候，游戏驿站股价飙升，导致交易暂停，最终上涨104%。近6500万股易手，临近收盘时成交量激增，而近期日均成交量为1470万股。周四开盘时，游戏驿站股价飙升85%。收盘时涨幅有所收窄，但仍收于108.73美元，涨幅超过18%。</blockquote> Where are the shorts?<blockquote>短裤在哪里？</blockquote> GameStop, which ended last year near $17 a share, soared as high as $483 in late January as concerted buying efforts initiated by individual investors on Reddit’s WallStreetBets forum contributed to a short squeeze, forcing traders who had bet on falling stock prices to cover their positions, adding to the buying frenzy.<blockquote>游戏驿站去年收盘价接近每股17美元，1月下旬飙升至483美元，原因是个人投资者在Reddit的WallStreetBets论坛上发起的一致买入努力导致了空头挤压，迫使押注股价下跌的交易员回补头寸，加剧了购买狂潮。</blockquote> GameStop shares subsequently fell back, trading below $40 a share last week. The late-January episode briefly rattled financial markets, triggered investigations and brought additional scrutiny, including a high-profile congressional hearing, on online brokers, market makers, and other players.<blockquote>游戏驿站股价随后回落，上周交易价格低于每股40美元。1月下旬的事件短暂扰乱了金融市场，引发了调查，并带来了对在线经纪商、做市商和其他参与者的额外审查，包括备受瞩目的国会听证会。</blockquote> It’s also brought attention to the broader role individual investors are playing and the possibility of a sustained pickup in retail interest that could alter market dynamics over the long run.<blockquote>它还引起了人们对个人投资者所扮演的更广泛角色的关注，以及散户兴趣持续回升的可能性，这可能会从长远来看改变市场动态。</blockquote> The broader stock marketsaw steep lossesthat deepened ahead of the closing bell, though the tech-led fall was blamed largely on a sharp jump in Treasury yields. The Dow Jones Industrial Average&nbsp;dropped nearly 560 points, or 1.8%. The S&amp;P 500&nbsp;fell 2.4%, while the Nasdaq Composite&nbsp;dropped 3.5%.<blockquote>尽管科技股主导的下跌主要归咎于美国国债收益率的大幅上涨，但大盘跌幅在收盘前进一步加深。道琼斯工业平均指数下跌近560点，跌幅1.8%。标普500下跌2.4%，纳斯达克综合指数下跌3.5%。</blockquote> Some market watchers, however, saw a possible but not clear-cut link between the GameStop activity and the selloff.<blockquote>然而，一些市场观察人士认为，游戏驿站活动与抛售之间可能存在但不明确的联系。</blockquote> GameStop might still be a popular short among some hedge funds, said Thomas Lee, managing partner and head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, in a Thursday note. That could be fostering a repeat of the late-January “degrossing” episode, in which hedge funds sold assets in order to reduce leverage, in keeping with “value-at-risk” models.<blockquote>Fundstrat Global Advisors管理合伙人兼研究主管Thomas Lee在周四的一份报告中表示，游戏驿站可能仍然是一些对冲基金中受欢迎的空头。这可能会助长1月下旬“去毛利化”事件的重演，当时对冲基金出售资产以降低杠杆率，符合“风险价值”模型。</blockquote> Meanwhile, other market watchers questioned how much fuel existed for for a repeat short squeeze, noting a sharp fall in short interest and expectations that remaining shorts are more adequately hedged against sharp moves.<blockquote>与此同时，其他市场观察人士质疑重复轧空的燃料有多少，他们指出空头兴趣急剧下降，并且预计剩余空头可以更充分地对冲大幅波动。</blockquote> Short interest in GameStop had reached 140% in January, but has since fallen back closer to 30%, noted Edward Moya, senior market analyst at brokerage Oanda, in a note, observing that professional investors likely also see an opportunity near options expiration dates following last month’s action.<blockquote>经纪公司Oanda的高级市场分析师Edward Moya在一份报告中指出，游戏驿站的空头兴趣在1月份达到140%，但此后回落至接近30%，并指出专业投资者也可能在期权到期日附近看到机会继上个月的行动之后。</blockquote> “One thing is clear, the institutional money behind this move found options expiration as a pivotal opportunity that will make it easier for market disruptions,” Moya wrote. “The violent price swings might remain elevated around options expirations for the Reddit-WallStreetBets crowd.”<blockquote>莫亚写道：“有一点是明确的，这一举措背后的机构资金发现期权到期是一个关键机会，这将使市场更容易受到干扰。”“对于Reddit-WallStreetBets人群来说，期权到期前后的剧烈价格波动可能会继续加剧。”</blockquote>","source":"market_watch","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>GameStop Round 2?

But unlike last month’s market-rattling move, it wasn’t clear that individual investors were the primary driver.<blockquote>另一场由期权引发的购买狂潮似乎导致游戏驿站公司和其他“模因”股票的股价周四飙升。但与上个月令市场不安的举动不同，目前尚不清楚个人投资者是否是主要驱动力。</blockquote> The primary mechanism, however, appeared largely the same.<blockquote>然而，主要机制似乎基本相同。</blockquote> A surge in purchases of GameStop call options, centered on those with a strike price of $60 and due to expire at the end of the week, was seen late Wednesday afternoon, said Gust Kepler, chief executive of BlackBoxStocks, a stock-and-options analytics and social platform. That triggered an alert sent by BlackBoxStocks at 3:27 p.m. Eastern, he said. Another alert was triggered early Thursday by heavy interest in calls with a $125 strike price.<blockquote>股票和期权公司BlackBoxStocks首席执行官Gust Kepler表示，周三下午晚些时候，游戏驿站·看涨期权期权的购买量激增，主要集中在执行价为60美元、将于本周末到期的期权上。分析和社交平台。这触发了BlackBoxStocks在下午3点27分发送的警报。东方，他说。周四早些时候，由于对评级的浓厚兴趣，执行价为125美元，引发了另一个警报。</blockquote> The company tracks options buying activity, with an eye toward large institutional buyers. Concerted activity by individual investors can also be picked up as brokers, which are part of the institutional universe, move to fill orders. The recent activity appeared to likely be a combination of big, professional players as well as individual buyers, Kepler said, in an interview.<blockquote>该公司跟踪期权购买活动，关注大型机构买家。随着作为机构世界一部分的经纪商开始履行订单，个人投资者的一致活动也可能被发现。开普勒在接受采访时表示，最近的活动似乎可能是大型专业参与者和个人买家的结合。</blockquote> ‘Gamma squeeze’<blockquote>“伽马挤压”</blockquote> A call option is a financial instrument that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy the underlying security at a set price, known as the strike price, by a certain date. By buying far “out of the money” calls, which have a strike price well above the stock’s present level, investors are betting that a surge in the stock price will net them a healthy profit.<blockquote>看涨期权期权是一种金融工具，赋予持有人在特定日期之前以设定价格（称为执行价格）购买标的证券的权利，但没有义务。通过购买执行价格远高于该股目前水平的“价外”评级，投资者押注股价飙升将为他们带来可观的利润。</blockquote> Buying far out of the money calls is usually a losing proposition, analysts noted, and a surge in interest can make the strategy more expensive as premiums rise in response to demand.<blockquote>分析师指出，远超本钱买入评级通常是一个失败的提议，随着溢价因需求而上升，兴趣激增可能会使该策略变得更加昂贵。</blockquote> But the options buying can, under certain circumstances, create conditions in which a price rally feeds on itself. Known as a “gamma squeeze,” this occurs when the sellers of the call options, in order to hedge their positions, buy the underlying stock. As the price of the stock rises, they need to buy more to maintain their hedge, creating the feedback loop.<blockquote>但在某些情况下，期权购买可以创造价格上涨的条件。这种情况被称为“伽马挤压”，当看涨期权期权的卖方为了对冲其头寸而购买标的股票时就会发生。随着股票价格上涨，他们需要购买更多来维持对冲，从而形成反馈循环。</blockquote> GameStop&nbsp;shares soared in late afternoon trade Wednesday, prompting trading halts before it&nbsp;ended with a gain of 104%.Nearly 65 million shares changed hands, with volume surging as the closing bell neared, compared with a recent average daily volume of 14.7 million shares. GameStop shares&nbsp;popped as much as 85% at Thursday’s opening bell. Gains were trimmed by the close, but it still finished at $108.73, up more than 18%.<blockquote>周三下午晚些时候，游戏驿站股价飙升，导致交易暂停，最终上涨104%。近6500万股易手，临近收盘时成交量激增，而近期日均成交量为1470万股。周四开盘时，游戏驿站股价飙升85%。收盘时涨幅有所收窄，但仍收于108.73美元，涨幅超过18%。</blockquote> Where are the shorts?<blockquote>短裤在哪里？</blockquote> GameStop, which ended last year near $17 a share, soared as high as $483 in late January as concerted buying efforts initiated by individual investors on Reddit’s WallStreetBets forum contributed to a short squeeze, forcing traders who had bet on falling stock prices to cover their positions, adding to the buying frenzy.<blockquote>游戏驿站去年收盘价接近每股17美元，1月下旬飙升至483美元，原因是个人投资者在Reddit的WallStreetBets论坛上发起的一致买入努力导致了空头挤压，迫使押注股价下跌的交易员回补头寸，加剧了购买狂潮。</blockquote> GameStop shares subsequently fell back, trading below $40 a share last week. The late-January episode briefly rattled financial markets, triggered investigations and brought additional scrutiny, including a high-profile congressional hearing, on online brokers, market makers, and other players.<blockquote>游戏驿站股价随后回落，上周交易价格低于每股40美元。1月下旬的事件短暂扰乱了金融市场，引发了调查，并带来了对在线经纪商、做市商和其他参与者的额外审查，包括备受瞩目的国会听证会。</blockquote> It’s also brought attention to the broader role individual investors are playing and the possibility of a sustained pickup in retail interest that could alter market dynamics over the long run.<blockquote>它还引起了人们对个人投资者所扮演的更广泛角色的关注，以及散户兴趣持续回升的可能性，这可能会从长远来看改变市场动态。</blockquote> The broader stock marketsaw steep lossesthat deepened ahead of the closing bell, though the tech-led fall was blamed largely on a sharp jump in Treasury yields. The Dow Jones Industrial Average&nbsp;dropped nearly 560 points, or 1.8%. The S&amp;P 500&nbsp;fell 2.4%, while the Nasdaq Composite&nbsp;dropped 3.5%.<blockquote>尽管科技股主导的下跌主要归咎于美国国债收益率的大幅上涨，但大盘跌幅在收盘前进一步加深。道琼斯工业平均指数下跌近560点，跌幅1.8%。标普500下跌2.4%，纳斯达克综合指数下跌3.5%。</blockquote> Some market watchers, however, saw a possible but not clear-cut link between the GameStop activity and the selloff.<blockquote>然而，一些市场观察人士认为，游戏驿站活动与抛售之间可能存在但不明确的联系。</blockquote> GameStop might still be a popular short among some hedge funds, said Thomas Lee, managing partner and head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, in a Thursday note. That could be fostering a repeat of the late-January “degrossing” episode, in which hedge funds sold assets in order to reduce leverage, in keeping with “value-at-risk” models.<blockquote>Fundstrat Global Advisors管理合伙人兼研究主管Thomas Lee在周四的一份报告中表示，游戏驿站可能仍然是一些对冲基金中受欢迎的空头。这可能会助长1月下旬“去毛利化”事件的重演，当时对冲基金出售资产以降低杠杆率，符合“风险价值”模型。</blockquote> Meanwhile, other market watchers questioned how much fuel existed for for a repeat short squeeze, noting a sharp fall in short interest and expectations that remaining shorts are more adequately hedged against sharp moves.<blockquote>与此同时，其他市场观察人士质疑重复轧空的燃料有多少，他们指出空头兴趣急剧下降，并且预计剩余空头可以更充分地对冲大幅波动。</blockquote> Short interest in GameStop had reached 140% in January, but has since fallen back closer to 30%, noted Edward Moya, senior market analyst at brokerage Oanda, in a note, observing that professional investors likely also see an opportunity near options expiration dates following last month’s action.<blockquote>经纪公司Oanda的高级市场分析师Edward Moya在一份报告中指出，游戏驿站的空头兴趣在1月份达到140%，但此后回落至接近30%，并指出专业投资者也可能在期权到期日附近看到机会继上个月的行动之后。</blockquote> “One thing is clear, the institutional money behind this move found options expiration as a pivotal opportunity that will make it easier for market disruptions,” Moya wrote. “The violent price swings might remain elevated around options expirations for the Reddit-WallStreetBets crowd.”<blockquote>莫亚写道：“有一点是明确的，这一举措背后的机构资金发现期权到期是一个关键机会，这将使市场更容易受到干扰。”“对于Reddit-WallStreetBets人群来说，期权到期前后的剧烈价格波动可能会继续加剧。”</blockquote>","source":"market_watch","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>GameStop Round 2?

But unlike last month’s market-rattling move, it wasn’t clear that individual investors were the primary driver.<blockquote>另一场由期权引发的购买狂潮似乎导致游戏驿站公司和其他“模因”股票的股价周四飙升。但与上个月令市场不安的举动不同，目前尚不清楚个人投资者是否是主要驱动力。</blockquote> The primary mechanism, however, appeared largely the same.<blockquote>然而，主要机制似乎基本相同。</blockquote> A surge in purchases of GameStop call options, centered on those with a strike price of $60 and due to expire at the end of the week, was seen late Wednesday afternoon, said Gust Kepler, chief executive of BlackBoxStocks, a stock-and-options analytics and social platform. That triggered an alert sent by BlackBoxStocks at 3:27 p.m. Eastern, he said. Another alert was triggered early Thursday by heavy interest in calls with a $125 strike price.<blockquote>股票和期权公司BlackBoxStocks首席执行官Gust Kepler表示，周三下午晚些时候，游戏驿站·看涨期权期权的购买量激增，主要集中在执行价为60美元、将于本周末到期的期权上。分析和社交平台。这触发了BlackBoxStocks在下午3点27分发送的警报。东方，他说。周四早些时候，由于对评级的浓厚兴趣，执行价为125美元，引发了另一个警报。</blockquote> The company tracks options buying activity, with an eye toward large institutional buyers. Concerted activity by individual investors can also be picked up as brokers, which are part of the institutional universe, move to fill orders. The recent activity appeared to likely be a combination of big, professional players as well as individual buyers, Kepler said, in an interview.<blockquote>该公司跟踪期权购买活动，关注大型机构买家。随着作为机构世界一部分的经纪商开始履行订单，个人投资者的一致活动也可能被发现。开普勒在接受采访时表示，最近的活动似乎可能是大型专业参与者和个人买家的结合。</blockquote> ‘Gamma squeeze’<blockquote>“伽马挤压”</blockquote> A call option is a financial instrument that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy the underlying security at a set price, known as the strike price, by a certain date. By buying far “out of the money” calls, which have a strike price well above the stock’s present level, investors are betting that a surge in the stock price will net them a healthy profit.<blockquote>看涨期权期权是一种金融工具，赋予持有人在特定日期之前以设定价格（称为执行价格）购买标的证券的权利，但没有义务。通过购买执行价格远高于该股目前水平的“价外”评级，投资者押注股价飙升将为他们带来可观的利润。</blockquote> Buying far out of the money calls is usually a losing proposition, analysts noted, and a surge in interest can make the strategy more expensive as premiums rise in response to demand.<blockquote>分析师指出，远超本钱买入评级通常是一个失败的提议，随着溢价因需求而上升，兴趣激增可能会使该策略变得更加昂贵。</blockquote> But the options buying can, under certain circumstances, create conditions in which a price rally feeds on itself. Known as a “gamma squeeze,” this occurs when the sellers of the call options, in order to hedge their positions, buy the underlying stock. As the price of the stock rises, they need to buy more to maintain their hedge, creating the feedback loop.<blockquote>但在某些情况下，期权购买可以创造价格上涨的条件。这种情况被称为“伽马挤压”，当看涨期权期权的卖方为了对冲其头寸而购买标的股票时就会发生。随着股票价格上涨，他们需要购买更多来维持对冲，从而形成反馈循环。</blockquote> GameStop&nbsp;shares soared in late afternoon trade Wednesday, prompting trading halts before it&nbsp;ended with a gain of 104%.Nearly 65 million shares changed hands, with volume surging as the closing bell neared, compared with a recent average daily volume of 14.7 million shares. GameStop shares&nbsp;popped as much as 85% at Thursday’s opening bell. Gains were trimmed by the close, but it still finished at $108.73, up more than 18%.<blockquote>周三下午晚些时候，游戏驿站股价飙升，导致交易暂停，最终上涨104%。近6500万股易手，临近收盘时成交量激增，而近期日均成交量为1470万股。周四开盘时，游戏驿站股价飙升85%。收盘时涨幅有所收窄，但仍收于108.73美元，涨幅超过18%。</blockquote> Where are the shorts?<blockquote>短裤在哪里？</blockquote> GameStop, which ended last year near $17 a share, soared as high as $483 in late January as concerted buying efforts initiated by individual investors on Reddit’s WallStreetBets forum contributed to a short squeeze, forcing traders who had bet on falling stock prices to cover their positions, adding to the buying frenzy.<blockquote>游戏驿站去年收盘价接近每股17美元，1月下旬飙升至483美元，原因是个人投资者在Reddit的WallStreetBets论坛上发起的一致买入努力导致了空头挤压，迫使押注股价下跌的交易员回补头寸，加剧了购买狂潮。</blockquote> GameStop shares subsequently fell back, trading below $40 a share last week. The late-January episode briefly rattled financial markets, triggered investigations and brought additional scrutiny, including a high-profile congressional hearing, on online brokers, market makers, and other players.<blockquote>游戏驿站股价随后回落，上周交易价格低于每股40美元。1月下旬的事件短暂扰乱了金融市场，引发了调查，并带来了对在线经纪商、做市商和其他参与者的额外审查，包括备受瞩目的国会听证会。</blockquote> It’s also brought attention to the broader role individual investors are playing and the possibility of a sustained pickup in retail interest that could alter market dynamics over the long run.<blockquote>它还引起了人们对个人投资者所扮演的更广泛角色的关注，以及散户兴趣持续回升的可能性，这可能会从长远来看改变市场动态。</blockquote> The broader stock marketsaw steep lossesthat deepened ahead of the closing bell, though the tech-led fall was blamed largely on a sharp jump in Treasury yields. The Dow Jones Industrial Average&nbsp;dropped nearly 560 points, or 1.8%. The S&amp;P 500&nbsp;fell 2.4%, while the Nasdaq Composite&nbsp;dropped 3.5%.<blockquote>尽管科技股主导的下跌主要归咎于美国国债收益率的大幅上涨，但大盘跌幅在收盘前进一步加深。道琼斯工业平均指数下跌近560点，跌幅1.8%。标普500下跌2.4%，纳斯达克综合指数下跌3.5%。</blockquote> Some market watchers, however, saw a possible but not clear-cut link between the GameStop activity and the selloff.<blockquote>然而，一些市场观察人士认为，游戏驿站活动与抛售之间可能存在但不明确的联系。</blockquote> GameStop might still be a popular short among some hedge funds, said Thomas Lee, managing partner and head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, in a Thursday note. That could be fostering a repeat of the late-January “degrossing” episode, in which hedge funds sold assets in order to reduce leverage, in keeping with “value-at-risk” models.<blockquote>Fundstrat Global Advisors管理合伙人兼研究主管Thomas Lee在周四的一份报告中表示，游戏驿站可能仍然是一些对冲基金中受欢迎的空头。这可能会助长1月下旬“去毛利化”事件的重演，当时对冲基金出售资产以降低杠杆率，符合“风险价值”模型。</blockquote> Meanwhile, other market watchers questioned how much fuel existed for for a repeat short squeeze, noting a sharp fall in short interest and expectations that remaining shorts are more adequately hedged against sharp moves.<blockquote>与此同时，其他市场观察人士质疑重复轧空的燃料有多少，他们指出空头兴趣急剧下降，并且预计剩余空头可以更充分地对冲大幅波动。</blockquote> Short interest in GameStop had reached 140% in January, but has since fallen back closer to 30%, noted Edward Moya, senior market analyst at brokerage Oanda, in a note, observing that professional investors likely also see an opportunity near options expiration dates following last month’s action.<blockquote>经纪公司Oanda的高级市场分析师Edward Moya在一份报告中指出，游戏驿站的空头兴趣在1月份达到140%，但此后回落至接近30%，并指出专业投资者也可能在期权到期日附近看到机会继上个月的行动之后。</blockquote> “One thing is clear, the institutional money behind this move found options expiration as a pivotal opportunity that will make it easier for market disruptions,” Moya wrote. “The violent price swings might remain elevated around options expirations for the Reddit-WallStreetBets crowd.”<blockquote>莫亚写道：“有一点是明确的，这一举措背后的机构资金发现期权到期是一个关键机会，这将使市场更容易受到干扰。”“对于Reddit-WallStreetBets人群来说，期权到期前后的剧烈价格波动可能会继续加剧。”</blockquote>","source":"market_watch","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>GameStop Round 2?

But unlike last month’s market-rattling move, it wasn’t clear that individual investors were the primary driver.<blockquote>另一场由期权引发的购买狂潮似乎导致游戏驿站公司和其他“模因”股票的股价周四飙升。但与上个月令市场不安的举动不同，目前尚不清楚个人投资者是否是主要驱动力。</blockquote> The primary mechanism, however, appeared largely the same.<blockquote>然而，主要机制似乎基本相同。</blockquote> A surge in purchases of GameStop call options, centered on those with a strike price of $60 and due to expire at the end of the week, was seen late Wednesday afternoon, said Gust Kepler, chief executive of BlackBoxStocks, a stock-and-options analytics and social platform. That triggered an alert sent by BlackBoxStocks at 3:27 p.m. Eastern, he said. Another alert was triggered early Thursday by heavy interest in calls with a $125 strike price.<blockquote>股票和期权公司BlackBoxStocks首席执行官Gust Kepler表示，周三下午晚些时候，游戏驿站·看涨期权期权的购买量激增，主要集中在执行价为60美元、将于本周末到期的期权上。分析和社交平台。这触发了BlackBoxStocks在下午3点27分发送的警报。东方，他说。周四早些时候，由于对评级的浓厚兴趣，执行价为125美元，引发了另一个警报。</blockquote> The company tracks options buying activity, with an eye toward large institutional buyers. Concerted activity by individual investors can also be picked up as brokers, which are part of the institutional universe, move to fill orders. The recent activity appeared to likely be a combination of big, professional players as well as individual buyers, Kepler said, in an interview.<blockquote>该公司跟踪期权购买活动，关注大型机构买家。随着作为机构世界一部分的经纪商开始履行订单，个人投资者的一致活动也可能被发现。开普勒在接受采访时表示，最近的活动似乎可能是大型专业参与者和个人买家的结合。</blockquote> ‘Gamma squeeze’<blockquote>“伽马挤压”</blockquote> A call option is a financial instrument that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy the underlying security at a set price, known as the strike price, by a certain date. By buying far “out of the money” calls, which have a strike price well above the stock’s present level, investors are betting that a surge in the stock price will net them a healthy profit.<blockquote>看涨期权期权是一种金融工具，赋予持有人在特定日期之前以设定价格（称为执行价格）购买标的证券的权利，但没有义务。通过购买执行价格远高于该股目前水平的“价外”评级，投资者押注股价飙升将为他们带来可观的利润。</blockquote> Buying far out of the money calls is usually a losing proposition, analysts noted, and a surge in interest can make the strategy more expensive as premiums rise in response to demand.<blockquote>分析师指出，远超本钱买入评级通常是一个失败的提议，随着溢价因需求而上升，兴趣激增可能会使该策略变得更加昂贵。</blockquote> But the options buying can, under certain circumstances, create conditions in which a price rally feeds on itself. Known as a “gamma squeeze,” this occurs when the sellers of the call options, in order to hedge their positions, buy the underlying stock. As the price of the stock rises, they need to buy more to maintain their hedge, creating the feedback loop.<blockquote>但在某些情况下，期权购买可以创造价格上涨的条件。这种情况被称为“伽马挤压”，当看涨期权期权的卖方为了对冲其头寸而购买标的股票时就会发生。随着股票价格上涨，他们需要购买更多来维持对冲，从而形成反馈循环。</blockquote> GameStop&nbsp;shares soared in late afternoon trade Wednesday, prompting trading halts before it&nbsp;ended with a gain of 104%.Nearly 65 million shares changed hands, with volume surging as the closing bell neared, compared with a recent average daily volume of 14.7 million shares. GameStop shares&nbsp;popped as much as 85% at Thursday’s opening bell. Gains were trimmed by the close, but it still finished at $108.73, up more than 18%.<blockquote>周三下午晚些时候，游戏驿站股价飙升，导致交易暂停，最终上涨104%。近6500万股易手，临近收盘时成交量激增，而近期日均成交量为1470万股。周四开盘时，游戏驿站股价飙升85%。收盘时涨幅有所收窄，但仍收于108.73美元，涨幅超过18%。</blockquote> Where are the shorts?<blockquote>短裤在哪里？</blockquote> GameStop, which ended last year near $17 a share, soared as high as $483 in late January as concerted buying efforts initiated by individual investors on Reddit’s WallStreetBets forum contributed to a short squeeze, forcing traders who had bet on falling stock prices to cover their positions, adding to the buying frenzy.<blockquote>游戏驿站去年收盘价接近每股17美元，1月下旬飙升至483美元，原因是个人投资者在Reddit的WallStreetBets论坛上发起的一致买入努力导致了空头挤压，迫使押注股价下跌的交易员回补头寸，加剧了购买狂潮。</blockquote> GameStop shares subsequently fell back, trading below $40 a share last week. The late-January episode briefly rattled financial markets, triggered investigations and brought additional scrutiny, including a high-profile congressional hearing, on online brokers, market makers, and other players.<blockquote>游戏驿站股价随后回落，上周交易价格低于每股40美元。1月下旬的事件短暂扰乱了金融市场，引发了调查，并带来了对在线经纪商、做市商和其他参与者的额外审查，包括备受瞩目的国会听证会。</blockquote> It’s also brought attention to the broader role individual investors are playing and the possibility of a sustained pickup in retail interest that could alter market dynamics over the long run.<blockquote>它还引起了人们对个人投资者所扮演的更广泛角色的关注，以及散户兴趣持续回升的可能性，这可能会从长远来看改变市场动态。</blockquote> The broader stock marketsaw steep lossesthat deepened ahead of the closing bell, though the tech-led fall was blamed largely on a sharp jump in Treasury yields. The Dow Jones Industrial Average&nbsp;dropped nearly 560 points, or 1.8%. The S&amp;P 500&nbsp;fell 2.4%, while the Nasdaq Composite&nbsp;dropped 3.5%.<blockquote>尽管科技股主导的下跌主要归咎于美国国债收益率的大幅上涨，但大盘跌幅在收盘前进一步加深。道琼斯工业平均指数下跌近560点，跌幅1.8%。标普500下跌2.4%，纳斯达克综合指数下跌3.5%。</blockquote> Some market watchers, however, saw a possible but not clear-cut link between the GameStop activity and the selloff.<blockquote>然而，一些市场观察人士认为，游戏驿站活动与抛售之间可能存在但不明确的联系。</blockquote> GameStop might still be a popular short among some hedge funds, said Thomas Lee, managing partner and head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, in a Thursday note. That could be fostering a repeat of the late-January “degrossing” episode, in which hedge funds sold assets in order to reduce leverage, in keeping with “value-at-risk” models.<blockquote>Fundstrat Global Advisors管理合伙人兼研究主管Thomas Lee在周四的一份报告中表示，游戏驿站可能仍然是一些对冲基金中受欢迎的空头。这可能会助长1月下旬“去毛利化”事件的重演，当时对冲基金出售资产以降低杠杆率，符合“风险价值”模型。</blockquote> Meanwhile, other market watchers questioned how much fuel existed for for a repeat short squeeze, noting a sharp fall in short interest and expectations that remaining shorts are more adequately hedged against sharp moves.<blockquote>与此同时，其他市场观察人士质疑重复轧空的燃料有多少，他们指出空头兴趣急剧下降，并且预计剩余空头可以更充分地对冲大幅波动。</blockquote> Short interest in GameStop had reached 140% in January, but has since fallen back closer to 30%, noted Edward Moya, senior market analyst at brokerage Oanda, in a note, observing that professional investors likely also see an opportunity near options expiration dates following last month’s action.<blockquote>经纪公司Oanda的高级市场分析师Edward Moya在一份报告中指出，游戏驿站的空头兴趣在1月份达到140%，但此后回落至接近30%，并指出专业投资者也可能在期权到期日附近看到机会继上个月的行动之后。</blockquote> “One thing is clear, the institutional money behind this move found options expiration as a pivotal opportunity that will make it easier for market disruptions,” Moya wrote. “The violent price swings might remain elevated around options expirations for the Reddit-WallStreetBets crowd.”<blockquote>莫亚写道：“有一点是明确的，这一举措背后的机构资金发现期权到期是一个关键机会，这将使市场更容易受到干扰。”“对于Reddit-WallStreetBets人群来说，期权到期前后的剧烈价格波动可能会继续加剧。”</blockquote>","source":"market_watch","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>GameStop Round 2?

But unlike last month’s market-rattling move, it wasn’t clear that individual investors were the primary driver.<blockquote>另一场由期权引发的购买狂潮似乎导致游戏驿站公司和其他“模因”股票的股价周四飙升。但与上个月令市场不安的举动不同，目前尚不清楚个人投资者是否是主要驱动力。</blockquote> The primary mechanism, however, appeared largely the same.<blockquote>然而，主要机制似乎基本相同。</blockquote> A surge in purchases of GameStop call options, centered on those with a strike price of $60 and due to expire at the end of the week, was seen late Wednesday afternoon, said Gust Kepler, chief executive of BlackBoxStocks, a stock-and-options analytics and social platform. That triggered an alert sent by BlackBoxStocks at 3:27 p.m. Eastern, he said. Another alert was triggered early Thursday by heavy interest in calls with a $125 strike price.<blockquote>股票和期权公司BlackBoxStocks首席执行官Gust Kepler表示，周三下午晚些时候，游戏驿站·看涨期权期权的购买量激增，主要集中在执行价为60美元、将于本周末到期的期权上。分析和社交平台。这触发了BlackBoxStocks在下午3点27分发送的警报。东方，他说。周四早些时候，由于对评级的浓厚兴趣，执行价为125美元，引发了另一个警报。</blockquote> The company tracks options buying activity, with an eye toward large institutional buyers. Concerted activity by individual investors can also be picked up as brokers, which are part of the institutional universe, move to fill orders. The recent activity appeared to likely be a combination of big, professional players as well as individual buyers, Kepler said, in an interview.<blockquote>该公司跟踪期权购买活动，关注大型机构买家。随着作为机构世界一部分的经纪商开始履行订单，个人投资者的一致活动也可能被发现。开普勒在接受采访时表示，最近的活动似乎可能是大型专业参与者和个人买家的结合。</blockquote> ‘Gamma squeeze’<blockquote>“伽马挤压”</blockquote> A call option is a financial instrument that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy the underlying security at a set price, known as the strike price, by a certain date. By buying far “out of the money” calls, which have a strike price well above the stock’s present level, investors are betting that a surge in the stock price will net them a healthy profit.<blockquote>看涨期权期权是一种金融工具，赋予持有人在特定日期之前以设定价格（称为执行价格）购买标的证券的权利，但没有义务。通过购买执行价格远高于该股目前水平的“价外”评级，投资者押注股价飙升将为他们带来可观的利润。</blockquote> Buying far out of the money calls is usually a losing proposition, analysts noted, and a surge in interest can make the strategy more expensive as premiums rise in response to demand.<blockquote>分析师指出，远超本钱买入评级通常是一个失败的提议，随着溢价因需求而上升，兴趣激增可能会使该策略变得更加昂贵。</blockquote> But the options buying can, under certain circumstances, create conditions in which a price rally feeds on itself. Known as a “gamma squeeze,” this occurs when the sellers of the call options, in order to hedge their positions, buy the underlying stock. As the price of the stock rises, they need to buy more to maintain their hedge, creating the feedback loop.<blockquote>但在某些情况下，期权购买可以创造价格上涨的条件。这种情况被称为“伽马挤压”，当看涨期权期权的卖方为了对冲其头寸而购买标的股票时就会发生。随着股票价格上涨，他们需要购买更多来维持对冲，从而形成反馈循环。</blockquote> GameStop&nbsp;shares soared in late afternoon trade Wednesday, prompting trading halts before it&nbsp;ended with a gain of 104%.Nearly 65 million shares changed hands, with volume surging as the closing bell neared, compared with a recent average daily volume of 14.7 million shares. GameStop shares&nbsp;popped as much as 85% at Thursday’s opening bell. Gains were trimmed by the close, but it still finished at $108.73, up more than 18%.<blockquote>周三下午晚些时候，游戏驿站股价飙升，导致交易暂停，最终上涨104%。近6500万股易手，临近收盘时成交量激增，而近期日均成交量为1470万股。周四开盘时，游戏驿站股价飙升85%。收盘时涨幅有所收窄，但仍收于108.73美元，涨幅超过18%。</blockquote> Where are the shorts?<blockquote>短裤在哪里？</blockquote> GameStop, which ended last year near $17 a share, soared as high as $483 in late January as concerted buying efforts initiated by individual investors on Reddit’s WallStreetBets forum contributed to a short squeeze, forcing traders who had bet on falling stock prices to cover their positions, adding to the buying frenzy.<blockquote>游戏驿站去年收盘价接近每股17美元，1月下旬飙升至483美元，原因是个人投资者在Reddit的WallStreetBets论坛上发起的一致买入努力导致了空头挤压，迫使押注股价下跌的交易员回补头寸，加剧了购买狂潮。</blockquote> GameStop shares subsequently fell back, trading below $40 a share last week. The late-January episode briefly rattled financial markets, triggered investigations and brought additional scrutiny, including a high-profile congressional hearing, on online brokers, market makers, and other players.<blockquote>游戏驿站股价随后回落，上周交易价格低于每股40美元。1月下旬的事件短暂扰乱了金融市场，引发了调查，并带来了对在线经纪商、做市商和其他参与者的额外审查，包括备受瞩目的国会听证会。</blockquote> It’s also brought attention to the broader role individual investors are playing and the possibility of a sustained pickup in retail interest that could alter market dynamics over the long run.<blockquote>它还引起了人们对个人投资者所扮演的更广泛角色的关注，以及散户兴趣持续回升的可能性，这可能会从长远来看改变市场动态。</blockquote> The broader stock marketsaw steep lossesthat deepened ahead of the closing bell, though the tech-led fall was blamed largely on a sharp jump in Treasury yields. The Dow Jones Industrial Average&nbsp;dropped nearly 560 points, or 1.8%. The S&amp;P 500&nbsp;fell 2.4%, while the Nasdaq Composite&nbsp;dropped 3.5%.<blockquote>尽管科技股主导的下跌主要归咎于美国国债收益率的大幅上涨，但大盘跌幅在收盘前进一步加深。道琼斯工业平均指数下跌近560点，跌幅1.8%。标普500下跌2.4%，纳斯达克综合指数下跌3.5%。</blockquote> Some market watchers, however, saw a possible but not clear-cut link between the GameStop activity and the selloff.<blockquote>然而，一些市场观察人士认为，游戏驿站活动与抛售之间可能存在但不明确的联系。</blockquote> GameStop might still be a popular short among some hedge funds, said Thomas Lee, managing partner and head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, in a Thursday note. That could be fostering a repeat of the late-January “degrossing” episode, in which hedge funds sold assets in order to reduce leverage, in keeping with “value-at-risk” models.<blockquote>Fundstrat Global Advisors管理合伙人兼研究主管Thomas Lee在周四的一份报告中表示，游戏驿站可能仍然是一些对冲基金中受欢迎的空头。这可能会助长1月下旬“去毛利化”事件的重演，当时对冲基金出售资产以降低杠杆率，符合“风险价值”模型。</blockquote> Meanwhile, other market watchers questioned how much fuel existed for for a repeat short squeeze, noting a sharp fall in short interest and expectations that remaining shorts are more adequately hedged against sharp moves.<blockquote>与此同时，其他市场观察人士质疑重复轧空的燃料有多少，他们指出空头兴趣急剧下降，并且预计剩余空头可以更充分地对冲大幅波动。</blockquote> Short interest in GameStop had reached 140% in January, but has since fallen back closer to 30%, noted Edward Moya, senior market analyst at brokerage Oanda, in a note, observing that professional investors likely also see an opportunity near options expiration dates following last month’s action.<blockquote>经纪公司Oanda的高级市场分析师Edward Moya在一份报告中指出，游戏驿站的空头兴趣在1月份达到140%，但此后回落至接近30%，并指出专业投资者也可能在期权到期日附近看到机会继上个月的行动之后。</blockquote> “One thing is clear, the institutional money behind this move found options expiration as a pivotal opportunity that will make it easier for market disruptions,” Moya wrote. “The violent price swings might remain elevated around options expirations for the Reddit-WallStreetBets crowd.”<blockquote>莫亚写道：“有一点是明确的，这一举措背后的机构资金发现期权到期是一个关键机会，这将使市场更容易受到干扰。”“对于Reddit-WallStreetBets人群来说，期权到期前后的剧烈价格波动可能会继续加剧。”</blockquote>","source":"market_watch","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>GameStop Round 2?

That could be fostering a repeat of the late-January “degrossing” episode, in which hedge funds sold assets in order to reduce leverage, in keeping with “value-at-risk” models.\nMeanwhile, other market watchers questioned how much fuel existed for for a repeat short squeeze, noting a sharp fall in short interest and expectations that remaining shorts are more adequately hedged against sharp moves.\nShort interest in GameStop had reached 140% in January, but has since fallen back closer to 30%, noted Edward Moya, senior market analyst at brokerage Oanda, in a note, observing that professional investors likely also see an opportunity near options expiration dates following last month’s action.\n“One thing is clear, the institutional money behind this move found options expiration as a pivotal opportunity that will make it easier for market disruptions,” Moya wrote. “The violent price swings might remain elevated around options expirations for the Reddit-WallStreetBets crowd.”","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"KOSS":0.9,"GME":0.9,"AMC":0.9,"BB":0.9,".IXIC":0.9,".SPX":0.9,".DJI":0.9}},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":3668392,"gmtCreate":1614317057931,"gmtModify":1635760888447,"authorId":3571302014333483,"author":{"id":3571302014333483,"idStr":"3571302014333483","authorId":3571302014333483,"name":"WangWang99","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fd291ad34521fc1ebab496105c2f882d","vip":1,"crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":368632725,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"Pls help like tHks ","text":"Pls help like tHks ","html":"Pls help like tHks "},{"id":3668402,"gmtCreate":1614317132394,"gmtModify":1635760887785,"authorId":3568393360647869,"author":{"id":3568393360647869,"idStr":"3568393360647869","authorId":3568393360647869,"name":"shwu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9e8515115b8883df9c91ae8997c11a84","vip":1,"crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":368632725,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"Please help me too","text":"Please help me too","html":"Please help me too"},{"id":3685174,"gmtCreate":1614562209961,"gmtModify":1635760126588,"authorId":3566821013640470,"author":{"id":3566821013640470,"idStr":"3566821013640470","authorId":3566821013640470,"name":"Jazling","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/85e0a83573d9307f57fca9b2baed72af","vip":1,"crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":368632725,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"Ok","text":"Ok","html":"Ok"}],"langContent":"EN"},{"id":368638314,"gmtCreate":1614315801238,"gmtModify":1703476254932,"author":{"id":"3575807346407979","authorId":"3575807346407979","name":"4XKEYQ","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/de3f10a9c3304a65bad52cfc9b4792f0","vip":1,"crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3575807346407979","authorIdStr":"3575807346407979"},"htmlText":"Pls like and cmt","listText":"Pls like and cmt","text":"Pls like and cmt","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/368638314","repostId":1120523685,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1120523685","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1614310849,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1120523685?lang=zh_CN&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-02-26 11:40","market":"us","language":"en","title":"GameStop Round 2?

But unlike last month’s market-rattling move, it wasn’t clear that individual investors were the primary driver.<blockquote>另一场由期权引发的购买狂潮似乎导致游戏驿站公司和其他“模因”股票的股价周四飙升。但与上个月令市场不安的举动不同，目前尚不清楚个人投资者是否是主要驱动力。</blockquote> The primary mechanism, however, appeared largely the same.<blockquote>然而，主要机制似乎基本相同。</blockquote> A surge in purchases of GameStop call options, centered on those with a strike price of $60 and due to expire at the end of the week, was seen late Wednesday afternoon, said Gust Kepler, chief executive of BlackBoxStocks, a stock-and-options analytics and social platform. That triggered an alert sent by BlackBoxStocks at 3:27 p.m. Eastern, he said. Another alert was triggered early Thursday by heavy interest in calls with a $125 strike price.<blockquote>股票和期权公司BlackBoxStocks首席执行官Gust Kepler表示，周三下午晚些时候，游戏驿站·看涨期权期权的购买量激增，主要集中在执行价为60美元、将于本周末到期的期权上。分析和社交平台。这触发了BlackBoxStocks在下午3点27分发送的警报。东方，他说。周四早些时候，由于对评级的浓厚兴趣，执行价为125美元，引发了另一个警报。</blockquote> The company tracks options buying activity, with an eye toward large institutional buyers. Concerted activity by individual investors can also be picked up as brokers, which are part of the institutional universe, move to fill orders. The recent activity appeared to likely be a combination of big, professional players as well as individual buyers, Kepler said, in an interview.<blockquote>该公司跟踪期权购买活动，关注大型机构买家。随着作为机构世界一部分的经纪商开始履行订单，个人投资者的一致活动也可能被发现。开普勒在接受采访时表示，最近的活动似乎可能是大型专业参与者和个人买家的结合。</blockquote> ‘Gamma squeeze’<blockquote>“伽马挤压”</blockquote> A call option is a financial instrument that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy the underlying security at a set price, known as the strike price, by a certain date. By buying far “out of the money” calls, which have a strike price well above the stock’s present level, investors are betting that a surge in the stock price will net them a healthy profit.<blockquote>看涨期权期权是一种金融工具，赋予持有人在特定日期之前以设定价格（称为执行价格）购买标的证券的权利，但没有义务。通过购买执行价格远高于该股目前水平的“价外”评级，投资者押注股价飙升将为他们带来可观的利润。</blockquote> Buying far out of the money calls is usually a losing proposition, analysts noted, and a surge in interest can make the strategy more expensive as premiums rise in response to demand.<blockquote>分析师指出，远超本钱买入评级通常是一个失败的提议，随着溢价因需求而上升，兴趣激增可能会使该策略变得更加昂贵。</blockquote> But the options buying can, under certain circumstances, create conditions in which a price rally feeds on itself. Known as a “gamma squeeze,” this occurs when the sellers of the call options, in order to hedge their positions, buy the underlying stock. As the price of the stock rises, they need to buy more to maintain their hedge, creating the feedback loop.<blockquote>但在某些情况下，期权购买可以创造价格上涨的条件。这种情况被称为“伽马挤压”，当看涨期权期权的卖方为了对冲其头寸而购买标的股票时就会发生。随着股票价格上涨，他们需要购买更多来维持对冲，从而形成反馈循环。</blockquote> GameStop&nbsp;shares soared in late afternoon trade Wednesday, prompting trading halts before it&nbsp;ended with a gain of 104%.Nearly 65 million shares changed hands, with volume surging as the closing bell neared, compared with a recent average daily volume of 14.7 million shares. GameStop shares&nbsp;popped as much as 85% at Thursday’s opening bell. Gains were trimmed by the close, but it still finished at $108.73, up more than 18%.<blockquote>周三下午晚些时候，游戏驿站股价飙升，导致交易暂停，最终上涨104%。近6500万股易手，临近收盘时成交量激增，而近期日均成交量为1470万股。周四开盘时，游戏驿站股价飙升85%。收盘时涨幅有所收窄，但仍收于108.73美元，涨幅超过18%。</blockquote> Where are the shorts?<blockquote>短裤在哪里？</blockquote> GameStop, which ended last year near $17 a share, soared as high as $483 in late January as concerted buying efforts initiated by individual investors on Reddit’s WallStreetBets forum contributed to a short squeeze, forcing traders who had bet on falling stock prices to cover their positions, adding to the buying frenzy.<blockquote>游戏驿站去年收盘价接近每股17美元，1月下旬飙升至483美元，原因是个人投资者在Reddit的WallStreetBets论坛上发起的一致买入努力导致了空头挤压，迫使押注股价下跌的交易员回补头寸，加剧了购买狂潮。</blockquote> GameStop shares subsequently fell back, trading below $40 a share last week. The late-January episode briefly rattled financial markets, triggered investigations and brought additional scrutiny, including a high-profile congressional hearing, on online brokers, market makers, and other players.<blockquote>游戏驿站股价随后回落，上周交易价格低于每股40美元。1月下旬的事件短暂扰乱了金融市场，引发了调查，并带来了对在线经纪商、做市商和其他参与者的额外审查，包括备受瞩目的国会听证会。</blockquote> It’s also brought attention to the broader role individual investors are playing and the possibility of a sustained pickup in retail interest that could alter market dynamics over the long run.<blockquote>它还引起了人们对个人投资者所扮演的更广泛角色的关注，以及散户兴趣持续回升的可能性，这可能会从长远来看改变市场动态。</blockquote> The broader stock marketsaw steep lossesthat deepened ahead of the closing bell, though the tech-led fall was blamed largely on a sharp jump in Treasury yields. The Dow Jones Industrial Average&nbsp;dropped nearly 560 points, or 1.8%. The S&amp;P 500&nbsp;fell 2.4%, while the Nasdaq Composite&nbsp;dropped 3.5%.<blockquote>尽管科技股主导的下跌主要归咎于美国国债收益率的大幅上涨，但大盘跌幅在收盘前进一步加深。道琼斯工业平均指数下跌近560点，跌幅1.8%。标普500下跌2.4%，纳斯达克综合指数下跌3.5%。</blockquote> Some market watchers, however, saw a possible but not clear-cut link between the GameStop activity and the selloff.<blockquote>然而，一些市场观察人士认为，游戏驿站活动与抛售之间可能存在但不明确的联系。</blockquote> GameStop might still be a popular short among some hedge funds, said Thomas Lee, managing partner and head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, in a Thursday note. That could be fostering a repeat of the late-January “degrossing” episode, in which hedge funds sold assets in order to reduce leverage, in keeping with “value-at-risk” models.<blockquote>Fundstrat Global Advisors管理合伙人兼研究主管Thomas Lee在周四的一份报告中表示，游戏驿站可能仍然是一些对冲基金中受欢迎的空头。这可能会助长1月下旬“去毛利化”事件的重演，当时对冲基金出售资产以降低杠杆率，符合“风险价值”模型。</blockquote> Meanwhile, other market watchers questioned how much fuel existed for for a repeat short squeeze, noting a sharp fall in short interest and expectations that remaining shorts are more adequately hedged against sharp moves.<blockquote>与此同时，其他市场观察人士质疑重复轧空的燃料有多少，他们指出空头兴趣急剧下降，并且预计剩余空头可以更充分地对冲大幅波动。</blockquote> Short interest in GameStop had reached 140% in January, but has since fallen back closer to 30%, noted Edward Moya, senior market analyst at brokerage Oanda, in a note, observing that professional investors likely also see an opportunity near options expiration dates following last month’s action.<blockquote>经纪公司Oanda的高级市场分析师Edward Moya在一份报告中指出，游戏驿站的空头兴趣在1月份达到140%，但此后回落至接近30%，并指出专业投资者也可能在期权到期日附近看到机会继上个月的行动之后。</blockquote> “One thing is clear, the institutional money behind this move found options expiration as a pivotal opportunity that will make it easier for market disruptions,” Moya wrote. “The violent price swings might remain elevated around options expirations for the Reddit-WallStreetBets crowd.”<blockquote>莫亚写道：“有一点是明确的，这一举措背后的机构资金发现期权到期是一个关键机会，这将使市场更容易受到干扰。”“对于Reddit-WallStreetBets人群来说，期权到期前后的剧烈价格波动可能会继续加剧。”</blockquote>","source":"market_watch","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>GameStop Round 2?

But unlike last month’s market-rattling move, it wasn’t clear that individual investors were the primary driver.<blockquote>另一场由期权引发的购买狂潮似乎导致游戏驿站公司和其他“模因”股票的股价周四飙升。但与上个月令市场不安的举动不同，目前尚不清楚个人投资者是否是主要驱动力。</blockquote> The primary mechanism, however, appeared largely the same.<blockquote>然而，主要机制似乎基本相同。</blockquote> A surge in purchases of GameStop call options, centered on those with a strike price of $60 and due to expire at the end of the week, was seen late Wednesday afternoon, said Gust Kepler, chief executive of BlackBoxStocks, a stock-and-options analytics and social platform. That triggered an alert sent by BlackBoxStocks at 3:27 p.m. Eastern, he said. Another alert was triggered early Thursday by heavy interest in calls with a $125 strike price.<blockquote>股票和期权公司BlackBoxStocks首席执行官Gust Kepler表示，周三下午晚些时候，游戏驿站·看涨期权期权的购买量激增，主要集中在执行价为60美元、将于本周末到期的期权上。分析和社交平台。这触发了BlackBoxStocks在下午3点27分发送的警报。东方，他说。周四早些时候，由于对评级的浓厚兴趣，执行价为125美元，引发了另一个警报。</blockquote> The company tracks options buying activity, with an eye toward large institutional buyers. Concerted activity by individual investors can also be picked up as brokers, which are part of the institutional universe, move to fill orders. The recent activity appeared to likely be a combination of big, professional players as well as individual buyers, Kepler said, in an interview.<blockquote>该公司跟踪期权购买活动，关注大型机构买家。随着作为机构世界一部分的经纪商开始履行订单，个人投资者的一致活动也可能被发现。开普勒在接受采访时表示，最近的活动似乎可能是大型专业参与者和个人买家的结合。</blockquote> ‘Gamma squeeze’<blockquote>“伽马挤压”</blockquote> A call option is a financial instrument that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy the underlying security at a set price, known as the strike price, by a certain date. By buying far “out of the money” calls, which have a strike price well above the stock’s present level, investors are betting that a surge in the stock price will net them a healthy profit.<blockquote>看涨期权期权是一种金融工具，赋予持有人在特定日期之前以设定价格（称为执行价格）购买标的证券的权利，但没有义务。通过购买执行价格远高于该股目前水平的“价外”评级，投资者押注股价飙升将为他们带来可观的利润。</blockquote> Buying far out of the money calls is usually a losing proposition, analysts noted, and a surge in interest can make the strategy more expensive as premiums rise in response to demand.<blockquote>分析师指出，远超本钱买入评级通常是一个失败的提议，随着溢价因需求而上升，兴趣激增可能会使该策略变得更加昂贵。</blockquote> But the options buying can, under certain circumstances, create conditions in which a price rally feeds on itself. Known as a “gamma squeeze,” this occurs when the sellers of the call options, in order to hedge their positions, buy the underlying stock. As the price of the stock rises, they need to buy more to maintain their hedge, creating the feedback loop.<blockquote>但在某些情况下，期权购买可以创造价格上涨的条件。这种情况被称为“伽马挤压”，当看涨期权期权的卖方为了对冲其头寸而购买标的股票时就会发生。随着股票价格上涨，他们需要购买更多来维持对冲，从而形成反馈循环。</blockquote> GameStop&nbsp;shares soared in late afternoon trade Wednesday, prompting trading halts before it&nbsp;ended with a gain of 104%.Nearly 65 million shares changed hands, with volume surging as the closing bell neared, compared with a recent average daily volume of 14.7 million shares.

That triggered an alert sent by BlackBoxStocks at 3:27 p.m. Eastern, he said. Another alert was triggered early Thursday by heavy interest in calls with a $125 strike price.<blockquote>股票和期权公司BlackBoxStocks首席执行官Gust Kepler表示，周三下午晚些时候，游戏驿站·看涨期权期权的购买量激增，主要集中在执行价为60美元、将于本周末到期的期权上。分析和社交平台。这触发了BlackBoxStocks在下午3点27分发送的警报。东方，他说。周四早些时候，由于对评级的浓厚兴趣，执行价为125美元，引发了另一个警报。</blockquote> The company tracks options buying activity, with an eye toward large institutional buyers.

But unlike last month’s market-rattling move, it wasn’t clear that individual investors were the primary driver.<blockquote>另一场由期权引发的购买狂潮似乎导致游戏驿站公司和其他“模因”股票的股价周四飙升。但与上个月令市场不安的举动不同，目前尚不清楚个人投资者是否是主要驱动力。</blockquote> The primary mechanism, however, appeared largely the same.<blockquote>然而，主要机制似乎基本相同。</blockquote> A surge in purchases of GameStop call options, centered on those with a strike price of $60 and due to expire at the end of the week, was seen late Wednesday afternoon, said Gust Kepler, chief executive of BlackBoxStocks, a stock-and-options analytics and social platform. That triggered an alert sent by BlackBoxStocks at 3:27 p.m. Eastern, he said. Another alert was triggered early Thursday by heavy interest in calls with a $125 strike price.<blockquote>股票和期权公司BlackBoxStocks首席执行官Gust Kepler表示，周三下午晚些时候，游戏驿站·看涨期权期权的购买量激增，主要集中在执行价为60美元、将于本周末到期的期权上。分析和社交平台。这触发了BlackBoxStocks在下午3点27分发送的警报。东方，他说。周四早些时候，由于对评级的浓厚兴趣，执行价为125美元，引发了另一个警报。</blockquote> The company tracks options buying activity, with an eye toward large institutional buyers. Concerted activity by individual investors can also be picked up as brokers, which are part of the institutional universe, move to fill orders. The recent activity appeared to likely be a combination of big, professional players as well as individual buyers, Kepler said, in an interview.<blockquote>该公司跟踪期权购买活动，关注大型机构买家。随着作为机构世界一部分的经纪商开始履行订单，个人投资者的一致活动也可能被发现。开普勒在接受采访时表示，最近的活动似乎可能是大型专业参与者和个人买家的结合。</blockquote> ‘Gamma squeeze’<blockquote>“伽马挤压”</blockquote> A call option is a financial instrument that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy the underlying security at a set price, known as the strike price, by a certain date. By buying far “out of the money” calls, which have a strike price well above the stock’s present level, investors are betting that a surge in the stock price will net them a healthy profit.<blockquote>看涨期权期权是一种金融工具，赋予持有人在特定日期之前以设定价格（称为执行价格）购买标的证券的权利，但没有义务。通过购买执行价格远高于该股目前水平的“价外”评级，投资者押注股价飙升将为他们带来可观的利润。</blockquote> Buying far out of the money calls is usually a losing proposition, analysts noted, and a surge in interest can make the strategy more expensive as premiums rise in response to demand.<blockquote>分析师指出，远超本钱买入评级通常是一个失败的提议，随着溢价因需求而上升，兴趣激增可能会使该策略变得更加昂贵。</blockquote> But the options buying can, under certain circumstances, create conditions in which a price rally feeds on itself. Known as a “gamma squeeze,” this occurs when the sellers of the call options, in order to hedge their positions, buy the underlying stock. As the price of the stock rises, they need to buy more to maintain their hedge, creating the feedback loop.<blockquote>但在某些情况下，期权购买可以创造价格上涨的条件。这种情况被称为“伽马挤压”，当看涨期权期权的卖方为了对冲其头寸而购买标的股票时就会发生。随着股票价格上涨，他们需要购买更多来维持对冲，从而形成反馈循环。</blockquote> GameStop&nbsp;shares soared in late afternoon trade Wednesday, prompting trading halts before it&nbsp;ended with a gain of 104%.Nearly 65 million shares changed hands, with volume surging as the closing bell neared, compared with a recent average daily volume of 14.7 million shares. GameStop shares&nbsp;popped as much as 85% at Thursday’s opening bell. Gains were trimmed by the close, but it still finished at $108.73, up more than 18%.<blockquote>周三下午晚些时候，游戏驿站股价飙升，导致交易暂停，最终上涨104%。近6500万股易手，临近收盘时成交量激增，而近期日均成交量为1470万股。周四开盘时，游戏驿站股价飙升85%。收盘时涨幅有所收窄，但仍收于108.73美元，涨幅超过18%。</blockquote> Where are the shorts?<blockquote>短裤在哪里？</blockquote> GameStop, which ended last year near $17 a share, soared as high as $483 in late January as concerted buying efforts initiated by individual investors on Reddit’s WallStreetBets forum contributed to a short squeeze, forcing traders who had bet on falling stock prices to cover their positions, adding to the buying frenzy.<blockquote>游戏驿站去年收盘价接近每股17美元，1月下旬飙升至483美元，原因是个人投资者在Reddit的WallStreetBets论坛上发起的一致买入努力导致了空头挤压，迫使押注股价下跌的交易员回补头寸，加剧了购买狂潮。</blockquote> GameStop shares subsequently fell back, trading below $40 a share last week. The late-January episode briefly rattled financial markets, triggered investigations and brought additional scrutiny, including a high-profile congressional hearing, on online brokers, market makers, and other players.<blockquote>游戏驿站股价随后回落，上周交易价格低于每股40美元。1月下旬的事件短暂扰乱了金融市场，引发了调查，并带来了对在线经纪商、做市商和其他参与者的额外审查，包括备受瞩目的国会听证会。</blockquote> It’s also brought attention to the broader role individual investors are playing and the possibility of a sustained pickup in retail interest that could alter market dynamics over the long run.<blockquote>它还引起了人们对个人投资者所扮演的更广泛角色的关注，以及散户兴趣持续回升的可能性，这可能会从长远来看改变市场动态。</blockquote> The broader stock marketsaw steep lossesthat deepened ahead of the closing bell, though the tech-led fall was blamed largely on a sharp jump in Treasury yields. The Dow Jones Industrial Average&nbsp;dropped nearly 560 points, or 1.8%. The S&amp;P 500&nbsp;fell 2.4%, while the Nasdaq Composite&nbsp;dropped 3.5%.<blockquote>尽管科技股主导的下跌主要归咎于美国国债收益率的大幅上涨，但大盘跌幅在收盘前进一步加深。道琼斯工业平均指数下跌近560点，跌幅1.8%。标普500下跌2.4%，纳斯达克综合指数下跌3.5%。</blockquote> Some market watchers, however, saw a possible but not clear-cut link between the GameStop activity and the selloff.<blockquote>然而，一些市场观察人士认为，游戏驿站活动与抛售之间可能存在但不明确的联系。</blockquote> GameStop might still be a popular short among some hedge funds, said Thomas Lee, managing partner and head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, in a Thursday note. That could be fostering a repeat of the late-January “degrossing” episode, in which hedge funds sold assets in order to reduce leverage, in keeping with “value-at-risk” models.<blockquote>Fundstrat Global Advisors管理合伙人兼研究主管Thomas Lee在周四的一份报告中表示，游戏驿站可能仍然是一些对冲基金中受欢迎的空头。这可能会助长1月下旬“去毛利化”事件的重演，当时对冲基金出售资产以降低杠杆率，符合“风险价值”模型。</blockquote> Meanwhile, other market watchers questioned how much fuel existed for for a repeat short squeeze, noting a sharp fall in short interest and expectations that remaining shorts are more adequately hedged against sharp moves.<blockquote>与此同时，其他市场观察人士质疑重复轧空的燃料有多少，他们指出空头兴趣急剧下降，并且预计剩余空头可以更充分地对冲大幅波动。</blockquote> Short interest in GameStop had reached 140% in January, but has since fallen back closer to 30%, noted Edward Moya, senior market analyst at brokerage Oanda, in a note, observing that professional investors likely also see an opportunity near options expiration dates following last month’s action.<blockquote>经纪公司Oanda的高级市场分析师Edward Moya在一份报告中指出，游戏驿站的空头兴趣在1月份达到140%，但此后回落至接近30%，并指出专业投资者也可能在期权到期日附近看到机会继上个月的行动之后。</blockquote> “One thing is clear, the institutional money behind this move found options expiration as a pivotal opportunity that will make it easier for market disruptions,” Moya wrote. “The violent price swings might remain elevated around options expirations for the Reddit-WallStreetBets crowd.”<blockquote>莫亚写道：“有一点是明确的，这一举措背后的机构资金发现期权到期是一个关键机会，这将使市场更容易受到干扰。”“对于Reddit-WallStreetBets人群来说，期权到期前后的剧烈价格波动可能会继续加剧。”</blockquote>","source":"market_watch","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>GameStop Round 2?

But unlike last month’s market-rattling move, it wasn’t clear that individual investors were the primary driver.<blockquote>另一场由期权引发的购买狂潮似乎导致游戏驿站公司和其他“模因”股票的股价周四飙升。但与上个月令市场不安的举动不同，目前尚不清楚个人投资者是否是主要驱动力。</blockquote> The primary mechanism, however, appeared largely the same.<blockquote>然而，主要机制似乎基本相同。</blockquote> A surge in purchases of GameStop call options, centered on those with a strike price of $60 and due to expire at the end of the week, was seen late Wednesday afternoon, said Gust Kepler, chief executive of BlackBoxStocks, a stock-and-options analytics and social platform. That triggered an alert sent by BlackBoxStocks at 3:27 p.m. Eastern, he said. Another alert was triggered early Thursday by heavy interest in calls with a $125 strike price.<blockquote>股票和期权公司BlackBoxStocks首席执行官Gust Kepler表示，周三下午晚些时候，游戏驿站·看涨期权期权的购买量激增，主要集中在执行价为60美元、将于本周末到期的期权上。分析和社交平台。这触发了BlackBoxStocks在下午3点27分发送的警报。东方，他说。周四早些时候，由于对评级的浓厚兴趣，执行价为125美元，引发了另一个警报。</blockquote> The company tracks options buying activity, with an eye toward large institutional buyers. Concerted activity by individual investors can also be picked up as brokers, which are part of the institutional universe, move to fill orders. The recent activity appeared to likely be a combination of big, professional players as well as individual buyers, Kepler said, in an interview.<blockquote>该公司跟踪期权购买活动，关注大型机构买家。随着作为机构世界一部分的经纪商开始履行订单，个人投资者的一致活动也可能被发现。开普勒在接受采访时表示，最近的活动似乎可能是大型专业参与者和个人买家的结合。</blockquote> ‘Gamma squeeze’<blockquote>“伽马挤压”</blockquote> A call option is a financial instrument that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy the underlying security at a set price, known as the strike price, by a certain date. By buying far “out of the money” calls, which have a strike price well above the stock’s present level, investors are betting that a surge in the stock price will net them a healthy profit.<blockquote>看涨期权期权是一种金融工具，赋予持有人在特定日期之前以设定价格（称为执行价格）购买标的证券的权利，但没有义务。通过购买执行价格远高于该股目前水平的“价外”评级，投资者押注股价飙升将为他们带来可观的利润。</blockquote> Buying far out of the money calls is usually a losing proposition, analysts noted, and a surge in interest can make the strategy more expensive as premiums rise in response to demand.<blockquote>分析师指出，远超本钱买入评级通常是一个失败的提议，随着溢价因需求而上升，兴趣激增可能会使该策略变得更加昂贵。</blockquote> But the options buying can, under certain circumstances, create conditions in which a price rally feeds on itself. Known as a “gamma squeeze,” this occurs when the sellers of the call options, in order to hedge their positions, buy the underlying stock. As the price of the stock rises, they need to buy more to maintain their hedge, creating the feedback loop.<blockquote>但在某些情况下，期权购买可以创造价格上涨的条件。这种情况被称为“伽马挤压”，当看涨期权期权的卖方为了对冲其头寸而购买标的股票时就会发生。随着股票价格上涨，他们需要购买更多来维持对冲，从而形成反馈循环。</blockquote> GameStop&nbsp;shares soared in late afternoon trade Wednesday, prompting trading halts before it&nbsp;ended with a gain of 104%.Nearly 65 million shares changed hands, with volume surging as the closing bell neared, compared with a recent average daily volume of 14.7 million shares. GameStop shares&nbsp;popped as much as 85% at Thursday’s opening bell. Gains were trimmed by the close, but it still finished at $108.73, up more than 18%.<blockquote>周三下午晚些时候，游戏驿站股价飙升，导致交易暂停，最终上涨104%。近6500万股易手，临近收盘时成交量激增，而近期日均成交量为1470万股。周四开盘时，游戏驿站股价飙升85%。收盘时涨幅有所收窄，但仍收于108.73美元，涨幅超过18%。</blockquote> Where are the shorts?<blockquote>短裤在哪里？</blockquote> GameStop, which ended last year near $17 a share, soared as high as $483 in late January as concerted buying efforts initiated by individual investors on Reddit’s WallStreetBets forum contributed to a short squeeze, forcing traders who had bet on falling stock prices to cover their positions, adding to the buying frenzy.<blockquote>游戏驿站去年收盘价接近每股17美元，1月下旬飙升至483美元，原因是个人投资者在Reddit的WallStreetBets论坛上发起的一致买入努力导致了空头挤压，迫使押注股价下跌的交易员回补头寸，加剧了购买狂潮。</blockquote> GameStop shares subsequently fell back, trading below $40 a share last week. The late-January episode briefly rattled financial markets, triggered investigations and brought additional scrutiny, including a high-profile congressional hearing, on online brokers, market makers, and other players.<blockquote>游戏驿站股价随后回落，上周交易价格低于每股40美元。1月下旬的事件短暂扰乱了金融市场，引发了调查，并带来了对在线经纪商、做市商和其他参与者的额外审查，包括备受瞩目的国会听证会。</blockquote> It’s also brought attention to the broader role individual investors are playing and the possibility of a sustained pickup in retail interest that could alter market dynamics over the long run.<blockquote>它还引起了人们对个人投资者所扮演的更广泛角色的关注，以及散户兴趣持续回升的可能性，这可能会从长远来看改变市场动态。</blockquote> The broader stock marketsaw steep lossesthat deepened ahead of the closing bell, though the tech-led fall was blamed largely on a sharp jump in Treasury yields. The Dow Jones Industrial Average&nbsp;dropped nearly 560 points, or 1.8%. The S&amp;P 500&nbsp;fell 2.4%, while the Nasdaq Composite&nbsp;dropped 3.5%.<blockquote>尽管科技股主导的下跌主要归咎于美国国债收益率的大幅上涨，但大盘跌幅在收盘前进一步加深。道琼斯工业平均指数下跌近560点，跌幅1.8%。标普500下跌2.4%，纳斯达克综合指数下跌3.5%。</blockquote> Some market watchers, however, saw a possible but not clear-cut link between the GameStop activity and the selloff.<blockquote>然而，一些市场观察人士认为，游戏驿站活动与抛售之间可能存在但不明确的联系。</blockquote> GameStop might still be a popular short among some hedge funds, said Thomas Lee, managing partner and head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, in a Thursday note. That could be fostering a repeat of the late-January “degrossing” episode, in which hedge funds sold assets in order to reduce leverage, in keeping with “value-at-risk” models.<blockquote>Fundstrat Global Advisors管理合伙人兼研究主管Thomas Lee在周四的一份报告中表示，游戏驿站可能仍然是一些对冲基金中受欢迎的空头。这可能会助长1月下旬“去毛利化”事件的重演，当时对冲基金出售资产以降低杠杆率，符合“风险价值”模型。</blockquote> Meanwhile, other market watchers questioned how much fuel existed for for a repeat short squeeze, noting a sharp fall in short interest and expectations that remaining shorts are more adequately hedged against sharp moves.<blockquote>与此同时，其他市场观察人士质疑重复轧空的燃料有多少，他们指出空头兴趣急剧下降，并且预计剩余空头可以更充分地对冲大幅波动。</blockquote> Short interest in GameStop had reached 140% in January, but has since fallen back closer to 30%, noted Edward Moya, senior market analyst at brokerage Oanda, in a note, observing that professional investors likely also see an opportunity near options expiration dates following last month’s action.<blockquote>经纪公司Oanda的高级市场分析师Edward Moya在一份报告中指出，游戏驿站的空头兴趣在1月份达到140%，但此后回落至接近30%，并指出专业投资者也可能在期权到期日附近看到机会继上个月的行动之后。</blockquote> “One thing is clear, the institutional money behind this move found options expiration as a pivotal opportunity that will make it easier for market disruptions,” Moya wrote. “The violent price swings might remain elevated around options expirations for the Reddit-WallStreetBets crowd.”<blockquote>莫亚写道：“有一点是明确的，这一举措背后的机构资金发现期权到期是一个关键机会，这将使市场更容易受到干扰。”“对于Reddit-WallStreetBets人群来说，期权到期前后的剧烈价格波动可能会继续加剧。”</blockquote>","source":"market_watch","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>GameStop Round 2?

But unlike last month’s market-rattling move, it wasn’t clear that individual investors were the primary driver.<blockquote>另一场由期权引发的购买狂潮似乎导致游戏驿站公司和其他“模因”股票的股价周四飙升。但与上个月令市场不安的举动不同，目前尚不清楚个人投资者是否是主要驱动力。</blockquote> The primary mechanism, however, appeared largely the same.<blockquote>然而，主要机制似乎基本相同。</blockquote> A surge in purchases of GameStop call options, centered on those with a strike price of $60 and due to expire at the end of the week, was seen late Wednesday afternoon, said Gust Kepler, chief executive of BlackBoxStocks, a stock-and-options analytics and social platform. That triggered an alert sent by BlackBoxStocks at 3:27 p.m. Eastern, he said. Another alert was triggered early Thursday by heavy interest in calls with a $125 strike price.<blockquote>股票和期权公司BlackBoxStocks首席执行官Gust Kepler表示，周三下午晚些时候，游戏驿站·看涨期权期权的购买量激增，主要集中在执行价为60美元、将于本周末到期的期权上。分析和社交平台。这触发了BlackBoxStocks在下午3点27分发送的警报。东方，他说。周四早些时候，由于对评级的浓厚兴趣，执行价为125美元，引发了另一个警报。</blockquote> The company tracks options buying activity, with an eye toward large institutional buyers. Concerted activity by individual investors can also be picked up as brokers, which are part of the institutional universe, move to fill orders. The recent activity appeared to likely be a combination of big, professional players as well as individual buyers, Kepler said, in an interview.<blockquote>该公司跟踪期权购买活动，关注大型机构买家。随着作为机构世界一部分的经纪商开始履行订单，个人投资者的一致活动也可能被发现。开普勒在接受采访时表示，最近的活动似乎可能是大型专业参与者和个人买家的结合。</blockquote> ‘Gamma squeeze’<blockquote>“伽马挤压”</blockquote> A call option is a financial instrument that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy the underlying security at a set price, known as the strike price, by a certain date. By buying far “out of the money” calls, which have a strike price well above the stock’s present level, investors are betting that a surge in the stock price will net them a healthy profit.<blockquote>看涨期权期权是一种金融工具，赋予持有人在特定日期之前以设定价格（称为执行价格）购买标的证券的权利，但没有义务。通过购买执行价格远高于该股目前水平的“价外”评级，投资者押注股价飙升将为他们带来可观的利润。</blockquote> Buying far out of the money calls is usually a losing proposition, analysts noted, and a surge in interest can make the strategy more expensive as premiums rise in response to demand.<blockquote>分析师指出，远超本钱买入评级通常是一个失败的提议，随着溢价因需求而上升，兴趣激增可能会使该策略变得更加昂贵。</blockquote> But the options buying can, under certain circumstances, create conditions in which a price rally feeds on itself. Known as a “gamma squeeze,” this occurs when the sellers of the call options, in order to hedge their positions, buy the underlying stock. As the price of the stock rises, they need to buy more to maintain their hedge, creating the feedback loop.<blockquote>但在某些情况下，期权购买可以创造价格上涨的条件。这种情况被称为“伽马挤压”，当看涨期权期权的卖方为了对冲其头寸而购买标的股票时就会发生。随着股票价格上涨，他们需要购买更多来维持对冲，从而形成反馈循环。</blockquote> GameStop&nbsp;shares soared in late afternoon trade Wednesday, prompting trading halts before it&nbsp;ended with a gain of 104%.Nearly 65 million shares changed hands, with volume surging as the closing bell neared, compared with a recent average daily volume of 14.7 million shares. GameStop shares&nbsp;popped as much as 85% at Thursday’s opening bell. Gains were trimmed by the close, but it still finished at $108.73, up more than 18%.<blockquote>周三下午晚些时候，游戏驿站股价飙升，导致交易暂停，最终上涨104%。近6500万股易手，临近收盘时成交量激增，而近期日均成交量为1470万股。周四开盘时，游戏驿站股价飙升85%。收盘时涨幅有所收窄，但仍收于108.73美元，涨幅超过18%。</blockquote> Where are the shorts?<blockquote>短裤在哪里？</blockquote> GameStop, which ended last year near $17 a share, soared as high as $483 in late January as concerted buying efforts initiated by individual investors on Reddit’s WallStreetBets forum contributed to a short squeeze, forcing traders who had bet on falling stock prices to cover their positions, adding to the buying frenzy.<blockquote>游戏驿站去年收盘价接近每股17美元，1月下旬飙升至483美元，原因是个人投资者在Reddit的WallStreetBets论坛上发起的一致买入努力导致了空头挤压，迫使押注股价下跌的交易员回补头寸，加剧了购买狂潮。</blockquote> GameStop shares subsequently fell back, trading below $40 a share last week. The late-January episode briefly rattled financial markets, triggered investigations and brought additional scrutiny, including a high-profile congressional hearing, on online brokers, market makers, and other players.<blockquote>游戏驿站股价随后回落，上周交易价格低于每股40美元。1月下旬的事件短暂扰乱了金融市场，引发了调查，并带来了对在线经纪商、做市商和其他参与者的额外审查，包括备受瞩目的国会听证会。</blockquote> It’s also brought attention to the broader role individual investors are playing and the possibility of a sustained pickup in retail interest that could alter market dynamics over the long run.<blockquote>它还引起了人们对个人投资者所扮演的更广泛角色的关注，以及散户兴趣持续回升的可能性，这可能会从长远来看改变市场动态。</blockquote> The broader stock marketsaw steep lossesthat deepened ahead of the closing bell, though the tech-led fall was blamed largely on a sharp jump in Treasury yields. The Dow Jones Industrial Average&nbsp;dropped nearly 560 points, or 1.8%. The S&amp;P 500&nbsp;fell 2.4%, while the Nasdaq Composite&nbsp;dropped 3.5%.<blockquote>尽管科技股主导的下跌主要归咎于美国国债收益率的大幅上涨，但大盘跌幅在收盘前进一步加深。道琼斯工业平均指数下跌近560点，跌幅1.8%。标普500下跌2.4%，纳斯达克综合指数下跌3.5%。</blockquote> Some market watchers, however, saw a possible but not clear-cut link between the GameStop activity and the selloff.<blockquote>然而，一些市场观察人士认为，游戏驿站活动与抛售之间可能存在但不明确的联系。</blockquote> GameStop might still be a popular short among some hedge funds, said Thomas Lee, managing partner and head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, in a Thursday note. That could be fostering a repeat of the late-January “degrossing” episode, in which hedge funds sold assets in order to reduce leverage, in keeping with “value-at-risk” models.<blockquote>Fundstrat Global Advisors管理合伙人兼研究主管Thomas Lee在周四的一份报告中表示，游戏驿站可能仍然是一些对冲基金中受欢迎的空头。这可能会助长1月下旬“去毛利化”事件的重演，当时对冲基金出售资产以降低杠杆率，符合“风险价值”模型。</blockquote> Meanwhile, other market watchers questioned how much fuel existed for for a repeat short squeeze, noting a sharp fall in short interest and expectations that remaining shorts are more adequately hedged against sharp moves.<blockquote>与此同时，其他市场观察人士质疑重复轧空的燃料有多少，他们指出空头兴趣急剧下降，并且预计剩余空头可以更充分地对冲大幅波动。</blockquote> Short interest in GameStop had reached 140% in January, but has since fallen back closer to 30%, noted Edward Moya, senior market analyst at brokerage Oanda, in a note, observing that professional investors likely also see an opportunity near options expiration dates following last month’s action.<blockquote>经纪公司Oanda的高级市场分析师Edward Moya在一份报告中指出，游戏驿站的空头兴趣在1月份达到140%，但此后回落至接近30%，并指出专业投资者也可能在期权到期日附近看到机会继上个月的行动之后。</blockquote> “One thing is clear, the institutional money behind this move found options expiration as a pivotal opportunity that will make it easier for market disruptions,” Moya wrote. “The violent price swings might remain elevated around options expirations for the Reddit-WallStreetBets crowd.”<blockquote>莫亚写道：“有一点是明确的，这一举措背后的机构资金发现期权到期是一个关键机会，这将使市场更容易受到干扰。”“对于Reddit-WallStreetBets人群来说，期权到期前后的剧烈价格波动可能会继续加剧。”</blockquote>","source":"market_watch","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>GameStop Round 2?

But unlike last month’s market-rattling move, it wasn’t clear that individual investors were the primary driver.<blockquote>另一场由期权引发的购买狂潮似乎导致游戏驿站公司和其他“模因”股票的股价周四飙升。但与上个月令市场不安的举动不同，目前尚不清楚个人投资者是否是主要驱动力。</blockquote> The primary mechanism, however, appeared largely the same.<blockquote>然而，主要机制似乎基本相同。</blockquote> A surge in purchases of GameStop call options, centered on those with a strike price of $60 and due to expire at the end of the week, was seen late Wednesday afternoon, said Gust Kepler, chief executive of BlackBoxStocks, a stock-and-options analytics and social platform. That triggered an alert sent by BlackBoxStocks at 3:27 p.m. Eastern, he said. Another alert was triggered early Thursday by heavy interest in calls with a $125 strike price.<blockquote>股票和期权公司BlackBoxStocks首席执行官Gust Kepler表示，周三下午晚些时候，游戏驿站·看涨期权期权的购买量激增，主要集中在执行价为60美元、将于本周末到期的期权上。分析和社交平台。这触发了BlackBoxStocks在下午3点27分发送的警报。东方，他说。周四早些时候，由于对评级的浓厚兴趣，执行价为125美元，引发了另一个警报。</blockquote> The company tracks options buying activity, with an eye toward large institutional buyers. Concerted activity by individual investors can also be picked up as brokers, which are part of the institutional universe, move to fill orders. The recent activity appeared to likely be a combination of big, professional players as well as individual buyers, Kepler said, in an interview.<blockquote>该公司跟踪期权购买活动，关注大型机构买家。随着作为机构世界一部分的经纪商开始履行订单，个人投资者的一致活动也可能被发现。开普勒在接受采访时表示，最近的活动似乎可能是大型专业参与者和个人买家的结合。</blockquote> ‘Gamma squeeze’<blockquote>“伽马挤压”</blockquote> A call option is a financial instrument that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy the underlying security at a set price, known as the strike price, by a certain date. By buying far “out of the money” calls, which have a strike price well above the stock’s present level, investors are betting that a surge in the stock price will net them a healthy profit.<blockquote>看涨期权期权是一种金融工具，赋予持有人在特定日期之前以设定价格（称为执行价格）购买标的证券的权利，但没有义务。通过购买执行价格远高于该股目前水平的“价外”评级，投资者押注股价飙升将为他们带来可观的利润。</blockquote> Buying far out of the money calls is usually a losing proposition, analysts noted, and a surge in interest can make the strategy more expensive as premiums rise in response to demand.<blockquote>分析师指出，远超本钱买入评级通常是一个失败的提议，随着溢价因需求而上升，兴趣激增可能会使该策略变得更加昂贵。</blockquote> But the options buying can, under certain circumstances, create conditions in which a price rally feeds on itself. Known as a “gamma squeeze,” this occurs when the sellers of the call options, in order to hedge their positions, buy the underlying stock. As the price of the stock rises, they need to buy more to maintain their hedge, creating the feedback loop.<blockquote>但在某些情况下，期权购买可以创造价格上涨的条件。这种情况被称为“伽马挤压”，当看涨期权期权的卖方为了对冲其头寸而购买标的股票时就会发生。随着股票价格上涨，他们需要购买更多来维持对冲，从而形成反馈循环。</blockquote> GameStop&nbsp;shares soared in late afternoon trade Wednesday, prompting trading halts before it&nbsp;ended with a gain of 104%.Nearly 65 million shares changed hands, with volume surging as the closing bell neared, compared with a recent average daily volume of 14.7 million shares. GameStop shares&nbsp;popped as much as 85% at Thursday’s opening bell. Gains were trimmed by the close, but it still finished at $108.73, up more than 18%.<blockquote>周三下午晚些时候，游戏驿站股价飙升，导致交易暂停，最终上涨104%。近6500万股易手，临近收盘时成交量激增，而近期日均成交量为1470万股。周四开盘时，游戏驿站股价飙升85%。收盘时涨幅有所收窄，但仍收于108.73美元，涨幅超过18%。</blockquote> Where are the shorts?<blockquote>短裤在哪里？</blockquote> GameStop, which ended last year near $17 a share, soared as high as $483 in late January as concerted buying efforts initiated by individual investors on Reddit’s WallStreetBets forum contributed to a short squeeze, forcing traders who had bet on falling stock prices to cover their positions, adding to the buying frenzy.<blockquote>游戏驿站去年收盘价接近每股17美元，1月下旬飙升至483美元，原因是个人投资者在Reddit的WallStreetBets论坛上发起的一致买入努力导致了空头挤压，迫使押注股价下跌的交易员回补头寸，加剧了购买狂潮。</blockquote> GameStop shares subsequently fell back, trading below $40 a share last week. The late-January episode briefly rattled financial markets, triggered investigations and brought additional scrutiny, including a high-profile congressional hearing, on online brokers, market makers, and other players.<blockquote>游戏驿站股价随后回落，上周交易价格低于每股40美元。1月下旬的事件短暂扰乱了金融市场，引发了调查，并带来了对在线经纪商、做市商和其他参与者的额外审查，包括备受瞩目的国会听证会。</blockquote> It’s also brought attention to the broader role individual investors are playing and the possibility of a sustained pickup in retail interest that could alter market dynamics over the long run.<blockquote>它还引起了人们对个人投资者所扮演的更广泛角色的关注，以及散户兴趣持续回升的可能性，这可能会从长远来看改变市场动态。</blockquote> The broader stock marketsaw steep lossesthat deepened ahead of the closing bell, though the tech-led fall was blamed largely on a sharp jump in Treasury yields. The Dow Jones Industrial Average&nbsp;dropped nearly 560 points, or 1.8%. The S&amp;P 500&nbsp;fell 2.4%, while the Nasdaq Composite&nbsp;dropped 3.5%.<blockquote>尽管科技股主导的下跌主要归咎于美国国债收益率的大幅上涨，但大盘跌幅在收盘前进一步加深。道琼斯工业平均指数下跌近560点，跌幅1.8%。标普500下跌2.4%，纳斯达克综合指数下跌3.5%。</blockquote> Some market watchers, however, saw a possible but not clear-cut link between the GameStop activity and the selloff.<blockquote>然而，一些市场观察人士认为，游戏驿站活动与抛售之间可能存在但不明确的联系。</blockquote> GameStop might still be a popular short among some hedge funds, said Thomas Lee, managing partner and head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, in a Thursday note. That could be fostering a repeat of the late-January “degrossing” episode, in which hedge funds sold assets in order to reduce leverage, in keeping with “value-at-risk” models.<blockquote>Fundstrat Global Advisors管理合伙人兼研究主管Thomas Lee在周四的一份报告中表示，游戏驿站可能仍然是一些对冲基金中受欢迎的空头。这可能会助长1月下旬“去毛利化”事件的重演，当时对冲基金出售资产以降低杠杆率，符合“风险价值”模型。</blockquote> Meanwhile, other market watchers questioned how much fuel existed for for a repeat short squeeze, noting a sharp fall in short interest and expectations that remaining shorts are more adequately hedged against sharp moves.<blockquote>与此同时，其他市场观察人士质疑重复轧空的燃料有多少，他们指出空头兴趣急剧下降，并且预计剩余空头可以更充分地对冲大幅波动。</blockquote> Short interest in GameStop had reached 140% in January, but has since fallen back closer to 30%, noted Edward Moya, senior market analyst at brokerage Oanda, in a note, observing that professional investors likely also see an opportunity near options expiration dates following last month’s action.<blockquote>经纪公司Oanda的高级市场分析师Edward Moya在一份报告中指出，游戏驿站的空头兴趣在1月份达到140%，但此后回落至接近30%，并指出专业投资者也可能在期权到期日附近看到机会继上个月的行动之后。</blockquote> “One thing is clear, the institutional money behind this move found options expiration as a pivotal opportunity that will make it easier for market disruptions,” Moya wrote. “The violent price swings might remain elevated around options expirations for the Reddit-WallStreetBets crowd.”<blockquote>莫亚写道：“有一点是明确的，这一举措背后的机构资金发现期权到期是一个关键机会，这将使市场更容易受到干扰。”“对于Reddit-WallStreetBets人群来说，期权到期前后的剧烈价格波动可能会继续加剧。”</blockquote>","source":"market_watch","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>GameStop Round 2?

But unlike last month’s market-rattling move, it wasn’t clear that individual investors were the primary driver.<blockquote>另一场由期权引发的购买狂潮似乎导致游戏驿站公司和其他“模因”股票的股价周四飙升。但与上个月令市场不安的举动不同，目前尚不清楚个人投资者是否是主要驱动力。</blockquote> The primary mechanism, however, appeared largely the same.<blockquote>然而，主要机制似乎基本相同。</blockquote> A surge in purchases of GameStop call options, centered on those with a strike price of $60 and due to expire at the end of the week, was seen late Wednesday afternoon, said Gust Kepler, chief executive of BlackBoxStocks, a stock-and-options analytics and social platform. That triggered an alert sent by BlackBoxStocks at 3:27 p.m. Eastern, he said. Another alert was triggered early Thursday by heavy interest in calls with a $125 strike price.<blockquote>股票和期权公司BlackBoxStocks首席执行官Gust Kepler表示，周三下午晚些时候，游戏驿站·看涨期权期权的购买量激增，主要集中在执行价为60美元、将于本周末到期的期权上。分析和社交平台。这触发了BlackBoxStocks在下午3点27分发送的警报。东方，他说。周四早些时候，由于对评级的浓厚兴趣，执行价为125美元，引发了另一个警报。</blockquote> The company tracks options buying activity, with an eye toward large institutional buyers. Concerted activity by individual investors can also be picked up as brokers, which are part of the institutional universe, move to fill orders. The recent activity appeared to likely be a combination of big, professional players as well as individual buyers, Kepler said, in an interview.<blockquote>该公司跟踪期权购买活动，关注大型机构买家。随着作为机构世界一部分的经纪商开始履行订单，个人投资者的一致活动也可能被发现。开普勒在接受采访时表示，最近的活动似乎可能是大型专业参与者和个人买家的结合。</blockquote> ‘Gamma squeeze’<blockquote>“伽马挤压”</blockquote> A call option is a financial instrument that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy the underlying security at a set price, known as the strike price, by a certain date. By buying far “out of the money” calls, which have a strike price well above the stock’s present level, investors are betting that a surge in the stock price will net them a healthy profit.<blockquote>看涨期权期权是一种金融工具，赋予持有人在特定日期之前以设定价格（称为执行价格）购买标的证券的权利，但没有义务。通过购买执行价格远高于该股目前水平的“价外”评级，投资者押注股价飙升将为他们带来可观的利润。</blockquote> Buying far out of the money calls is usually a losing proposition, analysts noted, and a surge in interest can make the strategy more expensive as premiums rise in response to demand.<blockquote>分析师指出，远超本钱买入评级通常是一个失败的提议，随着溢价因需求而上升，兴趣激增可能会使该策略变得更加昂贵。</blockquote> But the options buying can, under certain circumstances, create conditions in which a price rally feeds on itself. Known as a “gamma squeeze,” this occurs when the sellers of the call options, in order to hedge their positions, buy the underlying stock. As the price of the stock rises, they need to buy more to maintain their hedge, creating the feedback loop.<blockquote>但在某些情况下，期权购买可以创造价格上涨的条件。这种情况被称为“伽马挤压”，当看涨期权期权的卖方为了对冲其头寸而购买标的股票时就会发生。随着股票价格上涨，他们需要购买更多来维持对冲，从而形成反馈循环。</blockquote> GameStop&nbsp;shares soared in late afternoon trade Wednesday, prompting trading halts before it&nbsp;ended with a gain of 104%.Nearly 65 million shares changed hands, with volume surging as the closing bell neared, compared with a recent average daily volume of 14.7 million shares. GameStop shares&nbsp;popped as much as 85% at Thursday’s opening bell. Gains were trimmed by the close, but it still finished at $108.73, up more than 18%.<blockquote>周三下午晚些时候，游戏驿站股价飙升，导致交易暂停，最终上涨104%。近6500万股易手，临近收盘时成交量激增，而近期日均成交量为1470万股。周四开盘时，游戏驿站股价飙升85%。收盘时涨幅有所收窄，但仍收于108.73美元，涨幅超过18%。</blockquote> Where are the shorts?<blockquote>短裤在哪里？</blockquote> GameStop, which ended last year near $17 a share, soared as high as $483 in late January as concerted buying efforts initiated by individual investors on Reddit’s WallStreetBets forum contributed to a short squeeze, forcing traders who had bet on falling stock prices to cover their positions, adding to the buying frenzy.<blockquote>游戏驿站去年收盘价接近每股17美元，1月下旬飙升至483美元，原因是个人投资者在Reddit的WallStreetBets论坛上发起的一致买入努力导致了空头挤压，迫使押注股价下跌的交易员回补头寸，加剧了购买狂潮。</blockquote> GameStop shares subsequently fell back, trading below $40 a share last week. The late-January episode briefly rattled financial markets, triggered investigations and brought additional scrutiny, including a high-profile congressional hearing, on online brokers, market makers, and other players.<blockquote>游戏驿站股价随后回落，上周交易价格低于每股40美元。1月下旬的事件短暂扰乱了金融市场，引发了调查，并带来了对在线经纪商、做市商和其他参与者的额外审查，包括备受瞩目的国会听证会。</blockquote> It’s also brought attention to the broader role individual investors are playing and the possibility of a sustained pickup in retail interest that could alter market dynamics over the long run.<blockquote>它还引起了人们对个人投资者所扮演的更广泛角色的关注，以及散户兴趣持续回升的可能性，这可能会从长远来看改变市场动态。</blockquote> The broader stock marketsaw steep lossesthat deepened ahead of the closing bell, though the tech-led fall was blamed largely on a sharp jump in Treasury yields. The Dow Jones Industrial Average&nbsp;dropped nearly 560 points, or 1.8%. The S&amp;P 500&nbsp;fell 2.4%, while the Nasdaq Composite&nbsp;dropped 3.5%.<blockquote>尽管科技股主导的下跌主要归咎于美国国债收益率的大幅上涨，但大盘跌幅在收盘前进一步加深。道琼斯工业平均指数下跌近560点，跌幅1.8%。标普500下跌2.4%，纳斯达克综合指数下跌3.5%。</blockquote> Some market watchers, however, saw a possible but not clear-cut link between the GameStop activity and the selloff.<blockquote>然而，一些市场观察人士认为，游戏驿站活动与抛售之间可能存在但不明确的联系。</blockquote> GameStop might still be a popular short among some hedge funds, said Thomas Lee, managing partner and head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, in a Thursday note. That could be fostering a repeat of the late-January “degrossing” episode, in which hedge funds sold assets in order to reduce leverage, in keeping with “value-at-risk” models.<blockquote>Fundstrat Global Advisors管理合伙人兼研究主管Thomas Lee在周四的一份报告中表示，游戏驿站可能仍然是一些对冲基金中受欢迎的空头。这可能会助长1月下旬“去毛利化”事件的重演，当时对冲基金出售资产以降低杠杆率，符合“风险价值”模型。</blockquote> Meanwhile, other market watchers questioned how much fuel existed for for a repeat short squeeze, noting a sharp fall in short interest and expectations that remaining shorts are more adequately hedged against sharp moves.<blockquote>与此同时，其他市场观察人士质疑重复轧空的燃料有多少，他们指出空头兴趣急剧下降，并且预计剩余空头可以更充分地对冲大幅波动。</blockquote> Short interest in GameStop had reached 140% in January, but has since fallen back closer to 30%, noted Edward Moya, senior market analyst at brokerage Oanda, in a note, observing that professional investors likely also see an opportunity near options expiration dates following last month’s action.<blockquote>经纪公司Oanda的高级市场分析师Edward Moya在一份报告中指出，游戏驿站的空头兴趣在1月份达到140%，但此后回落至接近30%，并指出专业投资者也可能在期权到期日附近看到机会继上个月的行动之后。</blockquote> “One thing is clear, the institutional money behind this move found options expiration as a pivotal opportunity that will make it easier for market disruptions,” Moya wrote. “The violent price swings might remain elevated around options expirations for the Reddit-WallStreetBets crowd.”<blockquote>莫亚写道：“有一点是明确的，这一举措背后的机构资金发现期权到期是一个关键机会，这将使市场更容易受到干扰。”“对于Reddit-WallStreetBets人群来说，期权到期前后的剧烈价格波动可能会继续加剧。”</blockquote>","source":"market_watch","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>GameStop Round 2?

That could be fostering a repeat of the late-January “degrossing” episode, in which hedge funds sold assets in order to reduce leverage, in keeping with “value-at-risk” models.\nMeanwhile, other market watchers questioned how much fuel existed for for a repeat short squeeze, noting a sharp fall in short interest and expectations that remaining shorts are more adequately hedged against sharp moves.\nShort interest in GameStop had reached 140% in January, but has since fallen back closer to 30%, noted Edward Moya, senior market analyst at brokerage Oanda, in a note, observing that professional investors likely also see an opportunity near options expiration dates following last month’s action.\n“One thing is clear, the institutional money behind this move found options expiration as a pivotal opportunity that will make it easier for market disruptions,” Moya wrote. “The violent price swings might remain elevated around options expirations for the Reddit-WallStreetBets crowd.”","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"KOSS":0.9,"GME":0.9,"AMC":0.9,"BB":0.9,".IXIC":0.9,".SPX":0.9,".DJI":0.9}},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"}],"hasMoreComments":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":62,"commentSize":25,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"isCrawlerRequest":true}
