How it's used
Primarily used in stock market and trading contexts, this term specifically refers to the act of executing a sell order. It carries a sense of urgency or strategic decision-making in financial circles. Unlike general words for selling like 賣, this is strictly professional jargon.
Examples
The market is crashing so fast, why haven't you sold your positions yet?
Related words
Common mistake
Do not confuse this with general retail selling; it is exclusively for financial assets like stocks or futures. Using it to describe selling personal items at a garage sale would sound bizarre and overly formal.
