经典重译之股票大作手回忆录(404)
原文(434):
And more:I am able to support it without accumulating it—that is,without increasing the amount I shall have to sell later on.Observe that I do this without decreasing my financial resources.Of course what I am really doing is covering stock I sold short at higher prices when the demand from the public or from the traders or from both enabled me to do it.
It is always well to make it plain to the traders—and to the public,also—that there is a demand for the stock on the way down.That tends to check both reckless short selling by the professionals and liquidation by frightened holders—which is the selling you usually see when a stock gets weaker and weaker,which in turn is what a stock does when it is not supported.These covering purchases of mine constitute what I call the stabilising process.
As the market broadens I of course sell stock on the way up,but never enough to check the rise.This is in strict accordance with my stabilising plans.It is obvious that the more stock I sell on a reasonable and orderly advance the more I encourage the conservative speculators,who are more numerous than the reckless room traders;and in addition the more support I shall be able to give to the stock on the inevitable weak days.By always being short I always am in a position to support the stock without danger to myself.
其他版本译文(434):
而且,我还不用买进股票,就能够支撑住它,也就是说我不用增加持股数量,省得以后还要往出卖。要记住,我如此支撑股价并不会因此损伤财力。自然,我的所作所为实际上是在回补我之前用高价放空的股票。那个时候,我能够在股民们和交易人员的需求前提下,高价放空这些股票。
你总该清楚地向人们表明,当这只股票下跌了的时候,总会有人买。如此,一般会制止业内人士莽撞地放空,也会让那些担惊受怕的股东暂缓抛出股票。当股票的走势越来越不好,你一般都会看到这样的卖出压力。一旦没有支撑,股票马上就出现这样的情况。我这样回补,也是我所说的稳定程序中的一个步骤。
市场变好时,我自然会一路前行卖出,可总也不会到阻止股票涨势的程度。我这全是按照稳定计划进行。诚然,在合理有序的股市上涨情形中,卖出的越多,越能鼓励那些保守的投机分子,他们可比鲁莽的营业员数量多得多,股价也迟早会变得疲软,如此情况下,我卖出的越多,对这只股票的支撑就越大。因为我一直在维护放空的部位,所以对自己没有危险,还能支撑股票。
我的译文(434):
而且我做这种支撑无需承接筹码,增加多头持仓,也不会增加我的财务支出,因为我的买入属于空头回补。当然,能够这样做的前提是,当初我能够营造出旺盛的市场需求,这些需求来自大众或交易员们,或二者兼而有之,他们推高了价格,我才可能在高位放空。(然后再在低位做空头回补,这样在客观上就起到了支撑股价的作用。)
让大众以及交易员们能明显感受到,这只股票在下跌过程中是有人买的,这总归是一件有利的事。它可以遏制多头因恐慌而平仓,阻止专业交易者胆大妄为的开仓做空。当一只股票持续走弱时,你通常就会看到这类抛售行为,翻过来说就是当一只股票没有支撑时,它就会走的越来越弱,而我的那些回补性质的买入,就形成了我所谓的护盘操作。
随着市场的拓展,我自然就可以在上涨途中卖出股票,但要控制好数量,使其从不会达到足以抑制股价上涨的程度,即要严格遵循我的护盘计划。
显而易见,在一段理性有序的上涨行情里,我抛售的股票越多,就越能忽悠住那些保守的投机客——这类交易者的数量远多于那些激进的场内短线客。(译者注:有些人喜欢关注成交量,认为价升量增是好兆头。)
当然股票不可能一直涨,总有一天会走弱的,而我这样在走势强劲时做空的越多,那么当它走弱的时候,我就能够为该股提供更强大的支撑。由于我的这种护盘能力来自空头平仓,所以对我来说没有危险。
