  股場術語，指頻密咁無本短炒。因香港買股實行 T+2制度，即成交後兩日才交收，若在交收前沽貨離場，只需支付兩日利息及交易費用，到沽貨後交收日結算差價，呢個方法只能經細股票行買賣，因為毋須存入本金。

  Stock market jargon, means to use the T+2 policy of Hong Kong stock market to do short term speculations with very low cost. The way is to place buying order and then sell it within 2 days before the clearance time, this can capture the margin of price difference without paying any principle. This only works in small scale stockbrokers as they do not require deposit of principal. ----
