How To Buy ASTI Stock
如何购买 ASTI 股票
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Ascent Solar Technologies – be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
现在，你可能对如何参与Ascent Solar Technologies的市场感到好奇——无论是购买股票，还是试图对该公司下注。
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of possible trading platforms here. Many will allow you to buy 'fractional shares,' which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. For example, some stock, like Berkshire Hathaway, or Amazon.com, can cost thousands of dollars to own just one share. However, if you only want to invest a fraction of that, brokerages will allow you to do so.
购买股票通常通过经纪账户完成。您可以在此处找到可能的交易平台列表。许多股票允许您购买 “部分股票”，这使您无需购买整股即可拥有部分股票。例如，某些股票，例如伯克希尔·哈撒韦公司或亚马逊，仅拥有一股股票可能要花费数千美元。但是，如果您只想投资其中的一小部分，经纪公司将允许您这样做。
In the the case of Ascent Solar Technologies, which is trading at $0.14 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 714.29 shares of stock.
就截至发布时交易价格为0.14美元的Ascent Solar Technologies而言，100美元将为您购买714.29股股票。
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to 'go short' a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a stock can be found at this resource. Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading – either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
如果你想对一家公司下注，这个过程会更加复杂。您需要访问期权交易平台或经纪商，该经纪人将允许您 “空头” 一股股票，将股票借给您。可以在此资源中找到做空股票的过程。否则，如果您的经纪人允许您交易期权，您可以买入看跌期权，也可以以高于当前股票交易价格的行使价卖出看涨期权——无论哪种方式，它都允许您从股价下跌中获利。
