"How's it going today?" After finishing the New York Bay Area promotion, Liu Ruoyi, who started the California propaganda journey, after arriving in San Francisco, took advantage of the free time during the day to watch Vivian open the stock account and start the operation, and walked up to the front and asked.

"Selling securities lending, today I placed an order of $2.03 to sell about 100 million, and the stock short option has established nearly 100 million positions today, and we have nearly 6 billion short positions now. Vivien explained, pointing to the numbers on her account.

After nearly two weeks of shorting all the way, when the short position on the account skyrocketed to around $6 billion, Liu Ruoyi's funds on the account had changed from more than $200 million to nearly $400 million!

That is to say, before the worldcom financial scandal broke out, the market's expectations for worldcom have been very poor, of course, no one thought that this one of the top communication companies in the United States would directly blow itself up, so although institutional funds are constantly reducing their positions, there are actually a lot of retail funds who want to buy the bottom.

After all, Worldcom still has at least tens of billions of dollars in book assets, and the current stock price is already the net asset price.

According to the operating logic of ordinary American companies, at this point, it may be the time for another round of corporate mergers and acquisitions. Once the good news of the restructuring of Worldcom is released, the stock price will definitely rise in the short term!

In this regard, the speculative thinking of US stocks is not much different from that of A-shares in the mainland.

It's just that Liu Ruoyi knows that Worldcom doesn't have this opportunity at all, and now while the scandal hasn't broken out yet, trying her best to short him is the king.

It's late June, and although Liu Ruoyi doesn't know exactly when the scandal broke out, judging from the current trend of institutional funds, the signs of institutional reduction are very obvious, but limited to the regulations of U.S. stocks, before institutions are completely sold out, they can't hold positions and short at the same time.

Therefore, this wave is just cheaper for retail investors like Liu Ruoyi, whose positions in their hands are relatively light, and they can directly empty these stocks to go all out to short.

"As long as the brokerage doesn't put forward new restrictions, we will continue to short!" Liu Ruoyi was still a little excited after looking at the numbers on the account.

These short positions in front of you seem to be liabilities, but as soon as the scandal comes out, these liabilities immediately become real money!

This wave is even more successful than the last 911 hype, because this time it is not only more well-funded, but more importantly, it cuts directly to the heart of the transaction.

If Liu Ruoyi could have the opportunity to speculate directly on the major stock markets in Europe and the United States before 911, and directly short aviation stocks and insurance stocks, she would make a lot more money than her speculation index.

The index is more than a dozen points, and the decline of more than 20 points is very unrealistic.

However, the specific airline stocks and insurance and financial stocks that were affected by the 911 disaster can be regarded as good if their stock prices were cut in half! Many of them directly lost 70 or 80 percent of their market value!

If it were to directly operate such a short position, Liu Ruoyi would have gathered more funds and could face the current big market of oil futures more calmly.

However, this trip to North America allowed Liu Ruoyi to catch up with the unlucky man of Worldcom, and it can be regarded as a windfall opportunity for Liu Ruoyi's serious lack of funds.

For this alone, Liu Ruoyi would like to thank Caitlin for her kind invitation.

Caitlyn doesn't know anything yet, though.

It's just that there are more restrictions on shorting a certain stock, and there are restrictions on the leverage ratio and total amount of securities lending and selling, and Liu Ruoyi's brokerage does not have billions of dollars of stocks in her hands to lend her to sell at any time.

can only wait for someone to buy worldcom shares, and the brokerage can lend them out for Liu Ruoyi to sell short, so Vivian stares at the market every day, just to see when the brokerage has a ticket in her hand, and among the worldcom shares that her account opening brokerage can use, Liu Ruoyi's family has almost borrowed most of them!

When Liu Ruoyi sold $3 billion short, the brokerage was also a little panicked, and directly contacted Vivian to ask for additional protection, although Liu Ruoyi knew that the brokerage's operation was somewhat inconsistent with the normal operation rules, but at that time, all the funds had been trapped in this brokerage, and Liu Ruoyi had to give in.

After mortgaging the equity of Aurora Media as a position guarantee, the brokerage generously opened the upper limit of Liu Ruoyi's short on the $10 billion sky.

Of course, judging from the current trading, it will take at least one or two months for Liu Ruoyi to achieve this amount of money.

After all, there are too many restrictions on shorting a stock in the U.S. stocks, and if there is no other party to the VAM for shorting stock options, there is no transaction object at all, and securities lending and selling are also limited to the stocks in the hands of brokers.

In terms of the current trading volume of Worldcom, the stocks in the hands of Liu Ruoyi's account opening brokerage have basically been borrowed, and there is basically not much room for growth in the volume of billions of dollars.

On the other hand, there are bets on options every day, and Vivien can complete the establishment of new positions of one to two billion dollars.

Looking at the number of short positions in the account, Liu Ruoyi is already quite satisfied, although she doesn't know when this matter will break out, and she doesn't know what price the stock price will fall to in the first time after it bursts, but Liu Ruoyi will definitely not wait for bankruptcy to ship.

For her, it's good to wait until the scandal causes a crash to eat the fattest piece.

"Vivien, it looks like this company is doomed, and your job is to keep your short positions up. Liu Ruoyi patted Vivian on the shoulder and said.

"As long as it is controlled within the 25 times limit of the brokerage, if there is an abnormality, we have a mortgage guarantee, within 300 million US dollars, directly borrow cash to supplement our margin to survive. ”

"Understand, Sister Annie, now everyone's trading is becoming more and more sluggish, the competition for short positions is more fierce, it seems that there are indeed well-informed institutions that have received the news, but the time to turn short is much later than ours, and it is estimated that we are the biggest short in the market now. ”

Vivien has been increasing the number of short positions on her account during this time, and she has become a little numb.

Although she didn't know where Liu Ruoyi got the news and made such a big bet on this stock, judging from the current situation, Liu Ruoyi seems to be on the right side again!

For Vivian, after Liu Ruoyi made up her mind, she strictly implemented it in the back, and Vivian was still very resolute in this regard, even if she had been following Liu Ruoyi, but after arriving in a new place.

During trading hours, Vivian will stay alone in the hotel, connect to the Internet, and do one operation a day - desperately short!

Although she didn't know how long this operation would continue, she didn't know what news Liu Ruoyi was waiting for.

But as long as the upper limit given by the broker is not reached, Vivian will continue to short.

With the promotion of Liu Ruoyi's move to the New York metropolitan area and the Bay Area of California, Liu Ruoyi's continuous attendance at the announcements provided a strong impetus for her album sales to continue to climb.

After reaching the top of the Billboard chart in the first week, Liu Ruoyi's album sales continued to grow, and then she remained the number one in the second week!

In this way, Caitlin's publicity team has a lot of opportunities to operate publicity, so that Liu Ruoyi, a diva from the East, began to really set off a whirlwind in North America!

Since she is not ready to release more albums, Liu Ruoyi has taken out her classic Chinese songs and adapted them, and these enduring golden songs do have the power of cross-racial contagion.

As Liu Ruoyi's exposure in North America is getting higher and higher, the more people who know about it, the more fans who accept Liu Ruoyi's music.

From Chinese, Asian, and then to other ethnic groups!

300,000 copies sold in a single week!

400,000 copies sold in a single week!

......

Caitlin was ecstatic about the rising sales volume, and after the success of this wave of operations, the independent entertainment company that remained in North America really had the ability to gain a foothold, and the position she took over as general manager was truly valuable.

According to the current sales momentum, at least 2.5 million copies of the first album sales will be surpassed, pushing Liu Ruoyi to the ranks of North American first-line singers in one fell swoop, the company's cash cow is now just in its early 20s, Caitlin believes that under her promotion, Liu Ruoyi will inevitably be promoted to the ranks of North American diva!

It is precisely because she is optimistic about Liu Ruoyi's personal talent and future development potential, which is a huge positive for the company, that Caitlin will end her career and replace Li Zihe.

Of course, if Liu Ruoyi told her now that she has no much interest in the entertainment industry now, Caitlin will definitely go crazy.

However, at this time, Liu Ruoyi was very busy, and the publicity throughout North America was originally spinning, and she was a little free, and Liu Ruoyi also needed to pay attention to her oil futures business and Worldcom's short-selling business, and she didn't care about communicating with Caitlin privately.

With her strong support and Vivian's resolute execution, before the worldcom financial scandal was exposed, Vivian could only make a short position of $7 billion, and the floating profit on this short position was nearly $600 million!

The floating profit on the book plus its own funds is nearly 1 billion US dollars, and the 7 billion US dollars short position is actually too far from the upper limit of the brokerage to Liu Ruoyi.

However, because Liu Ruoyi's short amount is too large, the brokerage has focused on supervising Liu Ruoyi's account, and once there is a disturbance, it will definitely require a supplementary margin at any time to ensure the safety of the brokerage itself.

However, judging from the current development situation of Worldcom, unless Worldcom unexpectedly breaks out earth-shattering, only in this case can Liu Ruoyi's short position be blown up in one fell swoop!

Frankly, this possibility does not necessarily do not exist, the only constant in the stock market is uncertainty, and everything can change until you get accurate information.

Therefore, for brokers, although Liu Ruoyi's account has not reached the leverage ratio of 25 times the capital, it is also a huge risk for brokerages because the size of the short position is too large.

From the perspective of their own risk control, they will definitely not be able to meet Liu Ruoyi's existing financial guarantee, but let Liu Ruoyi further guarantee the equity of Aurora Media, only in this way can they control their own risks in the unpredictable stock market.

Even so, the full-time financial advisor of the brokerage still suggested that Liu Ruoyi close part of the position and take profits.

In terms of Liu Ruoyi's initial capital, the current profit from shorting is bright enough. In less than 3 weeks, the income has been several times the principal.

This kind of excess income can be met but not sought, standing in the position of the brokerage, it is natural to expect customers to receive it when they see it, and do not bear huge risks!

Of course, this risk is not only borne by Liu Ruoyi herself, but also by the brokerage itself, which will take into account the various pressures caused to the brokerage after such a huge position is liquidated!

If it weren't for the brokerage's investigation of Liu Ruoyi's net worth, knowing that Liu Ruoyi has a strong ability to pay debts, and the intrinsic value of Aurora Media's shares is also very high, this brokerage may consider asking Liu Ruoyi to make a margin call.

It's just that at this time, the worldcom financial scandal that Liu Ruoyi had been looking forward to suddenly broke out!

As soon as the accounting fraud of up to $3.8 billion came out, the financial market was in an uproar, Worldcom is not an ordinary company, its explosion even caused the index to fall, and the exchange immediately suspended Worldcom!

For the vast majority of worldcom shareholders, this news is simply a catastrophe, but for Liu Ruoyi, this is a windfall!

There is no doubt that Liu Ruoyi, these stocks and stock options sold in the range of about $2, will almost be bought back at the price of cabbage after the re-suspension of trading, and the price is only in the cent level!

You must know that there is no price limit for U.S. stocks, and as soon as this blockbuster scandal came out, it was basically decided for Worldcom.

According to Liu Ruoyi's memory, the future Worldcom will only run along the road of bankruptcy, there is no other way to go, this giant company, will unveil the huge black hole of financial fraud, the current financial fraud of 3.8 billion US dollars is just the opening.

When I saw the company's thunderstorm information that broke out on the Internet for the first time, I almost went crazy.

Although Vivian has been following Liu Ruoyi for a while and has witnessed many miracles, when the financial scandal of Worldcom came out, and then looked at the short positions of billions of dollars in her operating account, she was dumbfounded for a while.

At this time, Liu Ruoyi was still running outside, leaving Vivian alone to keep an eye on.

"Oh my God, this, this ,..." Vivian shuddered a little, if all this was predicted by Liu Ruoyi in advance, Vivian simply didn't know what to say.

But if Liu Ruoyi didn't know about this result in advance, Vivien couldn't believe that she would make such a heavy bet!

However, Liu Ruoyi has only been in the United States for a few days, and she has studied the situation of this company from newspapers, magazines and the Internet.

Linked to Liu Ruoyi's series of advanced and accurate predictions, Vivian suddenly had a chilling bold idea!

Perhaps, Liu Ruoyi is a "witch" or "goblin" in reality?!

Vivien, who is deeply influenced by Western culture, can only come up with such an answer, otherwise she will not be able to explain what she sees in front of her.

But this is completely illogical, with Vivian's understanding of Liu Ruoyi, this is an authentic mainland girl, with a clean net worth, complete experience, and no abnormalities at all to become a "demon".
