Hello,

I am a novice in stock trading. I have one question regarding trading strategy.

Let us say i foresee one stock will drop a lot so can i sell it and later buy it back at a lower price?

I think it is called "Short sale" in some of the books but is it allowed in singapore market? any restrictions for this practise?

BTW, any better strategy in a falling stock market?

Thank you for your enlightening.

偶觉得你还是多看少玩吧，纸交比较好

我只是想多学一点策略，以后可以实际应用。

比较常用的是cfd, initial margin 20%,赚的每天加给你,输的每天要补进去. 每隔一个月要roll over一次,就是交多一腿手续费. 算利息short通常是8%p.a. 优点:可以有5倍杠杆, 缺点:也是有5倍杠杆.

你还可以用普通的short,就是当天先卖再在5点前买回, 如果不买回的话,3天后自动在当时价钱+3bids的价格上买回,再加上broker house各自不同的惩罚措施,比如说关小黑屋一星期或一个月(视有无历史犯罪记录而定).... 优点:不需现金..缺点:只有一天时间,除非你能对超短线把握的很准.

还有就是先借来,再用普通的short,跟上面一样,只是没有当天买回的要求(因为你已经借来了). 利息不详,不过一定超过4%,因为broker house 会给lender4% p.a. 他们自己还要赚呢.,优点:没杠杆,没margin call,
