Chapter 909: The Wind Rises!
The next day, early in the morning.
As a veteran shareholder, Hawke, even on the first day of the new year, still got up from bed very early and came to the NASDAQ trading floor on time at 9:30.
Compared with the past, the flow of people on the NASDAQ trading floor today is indeed a little sparse, but Hawke still sees many old friends here, these people are similar to Hawke, without exception are senior old stockholders.
"Good morning, Hawke!"
"Good morning, Dulles!"
Hawke smiled and came to his old friend's side, said hello to the other party familiarly, and then walked directly to his side and sat down.
"Would you like a cup of coffee? It's made from the best coffee beans, and it tastes pretty good. Hawke shook the thermos in his hand and said to Dulles beside him.
When Dulles heard this, he didn't be polite to Hawke, and said with a smile: "Of course, I was pestered by my little granddaughter a little late last night, but now I am a little sleepy, and I am getting older, and my spirit is getting less and less!"
Hawke smiled and poured a full cup of coffee for Dulles, as he said, when the coffee was poured, the mellow aroma naturally overflowed, and it smelled extremely mellow.
The U.S. stock market has just opened, and in the center of the NASDAQ trading hall, there is a huge data board with countless stocks listed on the NASDAQ, some green, some red, and the data behind the stock is constantly changing from moment to moment.
"Dulles, what's new?" Hawk asked casually as he slowly enjoyed his coffee and turned to Dulles beside him.
Dulles thought for a while and responded: "There is no big news, it is the Su Yiyang accusation case that made a fuss a while ago, as the party concerned, Su Yiyang has been successfully released on bail yesterday, this is barely good news, it is estimated that the stock of Yanghua Group behind it can rise today." ”
"Yanghua Group's stock has been falling for more than ten days, from the initial $120 per share, and now it has dropped to $101 per share, a drop of $19, which is not a low decline. Hawke sighed as he took out the reading glasses from his backpack and put them on his eyes.
Dulles smiled: "It has indeed dropped a lot, but you must know that Yanghua Group was originally listed from $70 per share, and now this drop is not painful for people at all." ”
The two sat on chairs on the trading floor, drinking coffee and chatting about stock market gossip, which looked a bit like eating morning tea.
Time passed slowly, and soon it was ten o'clock, half an hour before the U.S. stock market opened, during which Hawke and Dulles looked at the data board in the center of the trading floor.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Hawke let out another startle.
Dulles was drinking coffee, and when he heard Hawke's startled voice, he was a little puzzled, "What's wrong?"
Hawke frowned slightly, sat up slightly straighter, pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose with his right hand, and said in a low voice: "Dulles, you see that the stock of PLM Company was still $25 per share a few minutes ago, but now in just a few minutes, it has rushed to $28 per share, which is a bit too fast!"
(In order to avoid trouble, all companies in this plot are fictional, I hope you understand!)
In normal U.S. stocks, the smallest unit of increase is one-sixteenth of a dollar, and ordinary stocks increase by one-half of a dollar in a few minutes, which is a very high increase, so Hawk is so surprised.
When Dulles heard this, his eyes couldn't help but look at the data board, looked carefully, and finally saw the stock in the middle and late positions, looking at the increase data behind him, he couldn't help but secretly smack his tongue.
"Hawke, are you sure it started going up a few minutes ago? it's up nearly ten percent in a few minutes?" said Dulles, a little surprised.
"I'm sure!" Hawk stared at the datapad, "Look, it's still rising, and it's still going fast!"
Dulles and Hawke kept their eyes on PLM's stock, seeing that almost every time its stock refreshed, the stock price changed in a new way.
So far, the rest of the trading floor has not noticed the situation, except for Dulles and Hawke.
"What's going on? Dulles, is there any good news for PLM, why is the stock price soaring so crazy?" Hawk asked Dulles in a low voice.
Dulles shook his head: "I'm sure there is no good news without PLM, you should know that the New York Daily and the financial newspaper are my must-read every morning, if there is good news, even if I didn't care about it at the time, I can't not be impressed." ”
"It's kind of interesting that PLM's stock has soared so horribly. Hawke's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Dulles, do you think someone is driving up the stock price of PLM?"
"It's possible, but stock price gouging is bound to swallow stocks on a large scale, and if you are not careful, you may turn into a malicious holding, which is not allowed in the trading market?" Dulles said in a low voice.
Hawke's eyes narrowed, and from time to time there was a gleam in his small eyes, and he looked very shrewd at this time.
"Dulles, do you want to take a chance?" said Hawke in a sudden whisper.
"Adventure?"
Dulles raised an eyebrow, as if he had guessed what Hawke meant by adventure.
"Regardless of whether someone is driving up the stock price of PLM, or deliberately devouring the equity of PLM, while the stock price of PLM has just risen, most people have not noticed, let's seize the opportunity first, buy some stocks in my hands, just hold them in my hands for a few hours, and then sell them directly, and I will definitely make a lot of money!" Hawk said in a low voice.
When Dulles heard this, his face showed a little hesitation: "Hawke, you are doing this, the risk is a little too great, now there must be big capital entering the market, you are tantamount to seeking the skin of the tiger, maybe a little carelessness will be a catastrophe!"
"Dulles, you are also an old shareholder, risk and profit are proportional, there is no risk at all, where to find a profitable deal? Now the time is just right, as long as we are not greedy, it is absolutely not difficult for us to make a profit. Hawke continued.
Dulles was still a little hesitant.
Seeing Dulles's appearance, Hawke looked up at the data board and found that PLM's stock was approaching $30 per share, so he hurriedly said: "Then you think about it first, I'll buy some first!"
After saying that, Hawke hurried to buy stocks.
Looking at Hawke's back, Dulles gritted his teeth and kicked more, and hurriedly followed......
