经典重译之股票大作手回忆录(403)
原文(433):
I make the stock active in order to draw the attention of speculators to it,for the reasons I have given.I buy it and I sell it and the traders follow suit.The selling pressure is not apt to be strong where a man has as much speculatively held stock sewed up—in calls—as I insist on having.The buying,therefore,prevails over the selling,and the public follows the lead not so much of the manipulator as of the room traders.It comes in as a buyer.
This highly desirable demand I fill—that is,I sell stock on balance.If the demand is what it ought to be it will absorb more than the amount of stock I was compelled to accumulate in the earlier stages of the manipulation;and when this happens I sell the stock short—that is,technically.In other words,I sell more stock than I actually hold.It is perfectly safe for me to do so since I am really selling against my calls.Of course,when the demand from the public slackens,the stock ceases to advance.Then I wait.
Say,then,that the stock has ceased to advance.There comes a weak day.The entire market may develop a reactionary tendency or some sharp-eyed trader my perceive that there are no buying orders to speak of in my stock,and he sells it,and his fellows follow.Whatever the reason may be,my stock starts to go down.Well,I begin to buy it.I give it the support that a stock ought to have if it is in good odour with its own sponsors.
其他版本译文(433):
我把一只股票搞活,以吸引股民们的眼球,其中的原因已然讲明。我买卖一只股票,营业员也会跟着交易。既然有这么多股票用于投机,就像我坚持的那样,用认购权把它锁死,就不会有太大的卖出压力。所以,买盘总要比卖盘强,股民们主要不是跟着作手走,而是跟着营业员走,他们会转为买家。我对这样的需求非常满意,可能会抛出股票。如果市场需求是正常的,需要的股票数量就会远远高于我在炒作一开始时被迫买进的数量,如果这样的话,我就会放空。这是技术层面的放空,也就是说,我卖出去的比我的持股还要多。这对我来说是非常安全的,因为我是根据认购权卖出的。当然了,到了股民们没有那么多需求了,股价就不再上涨,我就会停下来等待。
然后,如果这只股票不再上涨,大盘在某一天会因为疲软而回调,或者那些眼光好的营业员能看明白我的这只股票没有人买,他们就会放空这只股票,跟着他们的那些人也会放空。无论什么原因,我的股票价格开始下跌。我就得买进,支撑这只股票,就像一只股票得到自己的公司派欢迎时,应该有的那种支撑一样。
我的译文(433):
我把一只股票搞活跃的目的,就是为了引起投机客的注意,原因我已经说过了,这样无论我卖出还是买入,都会有交易者跟风。
因为我并没有投机性的持仓,我只是拥有了一批股票的认购权,所以我坚持采用的这种方式,可以减轻上方的抛压。(译者注:因为他手里还没有筹码,不用考虑出货对市场形成的抛压。)因此,买方力量压过卖方力量。大众跟风追随的对象,与其说是操盘手,不如说是场内短线交易商。于是大众作为买方就进来了。
一旦我在市场上营造出了高度景气的供不应求的局面,我就可以总体净买出了(译者注:开始派发出货)
只要这种市场需求足够大,我在坐庄初期不得不收集的筹码,就全都能被市场消化,而且仍然满足不了市场的胃口,这时,我就可以采用技术性做空,这种做空不是因为我真的看空,而是我手里已经没有筹码可卖了。(译者注:意思是,自己当初收集的筹码卖完了,可市场需求被营造的太旺盛了,还在涨,那就借筹码来卖,先兑现收益。)
这么操作对我而言毫无风险,因为我有认购期权托底,不存在不能空头平仓的问题。
当然,当来自大众的这股市场热情消退时,股价也就不再涨了,那我就(持币)观望。
刚才我说了,那只股票已经停止上涨了,接下来就是他走弱的时候了。可能是整个大盘发生回撤,也可能是某些眼尖的交易员发觉在我那只股票上,已经没有买入订单了,于是他们开始卖出它,而其他同行们就也跟风卖出。
总之不管是什么原因,我那只股票开始下跌,这时,我开始进场买入。
如果该股的投资人认为该股声誉不错,他们就会护盘的,而我也是考虑到这个前提,才为其提供支撑的。(译者注:也就是说独木难支,利弗莫尔选择支撑股价时,会考虑该股会否存在护盘的力量)
