Chapter 10 Opportunities and Risks Coexist!
"James, the stock market at the moment is like a balloon that has been blown up, someone is holding a needle and gently poking it on it, what kind of energy will burst out after the balloon is popped, have you thought about it?"
George gestured with both hands to figure out what the balloon would look like when it was inflated, and then poked his finger lightly at the invisible balloon, making a "bump" sound in his mouth.
This poke made James stunned, and it didn't take long for his eyes, which had already regained clarity, to gradually turn red, and his breathing became heavier and heavier.
In its opinion, this time it is aimed at the Internet, how big a bubble the Internet can be, four or five hundred points is already the extreme, but now when it comes to George's words, he has woken up in an instant.
The stock market is connected, at the moment the whole market is falling, and it is falling hard and fast, the speed has been unable to react, in this case, people are easy to lose their minds and cause panic blindly obedient, who will care if you are an Internet company?
"Then ,,,, ,,, we ,,,,, do it hard?"
I don't know how long it has been, but James has come to his senses again, but this time he said with uncertainty and trembling.
"A thousand points, this is the limit, throw them all out between a thousand and one thousand and fifty points, and leave no shorts at all. ”
George clearly remembered that this Internet storm triggered the Nano market to fall sharply since the opening of the market, falling more than 13,400 points in one day, and in the following year, the Na market fell from more than 5,000 points all the way to more than 1,000 points.
That's not all, the Dow Jones index and the Standard 500 have been seriously implicated, yes, the market value of many traditionally well-run companies has also fallen I don't know how much, and many people's worth is constantly shrinking, making many super-rich people continue to spend their lives on food and clothing in this year.
As a result, a bubble-squeezing Internet storm has become the culprit of the global stock market, so that many people behind it did not expect that this is a crisis comparable to the black storm of '87.
Since then, the bubble of the Internet has been squeezed out, although it is still a good investment project, but it has discouraged many people because of the Internet crisis, and the Internet has officially entered a cold winter.
In the next four or five years, the era when the Internet could seek funds in the hands of major investment institutions and capital with just one idea has completely become a thing of the past.
"What?1000?,,,,,, George, are you crazy?
,,,,,,,,A thousand points is a loss of hundreds of billions, and I am afraid that just an Internet bubble will not be able to reach it, and even if it can be reached, those people in HSD will not allow it?"
James was completely shocked by George's words, and he swore that he had never discovered that George had the genes of a madman hidden in his bones, and that he had forgotten his profession for a while, but was worried about the United States.
"Haha, James, my dear friend, have you forgotten what the market of capital will be like once it goes crazy?
Let's not mention Black Monday in '87, what did the pound in '92 do led by Soros, and the Mexican Storm Tiger Fund and the Quantum Fund in '94 rushed to the front, but what happened to the funds behind them after they withdrew?
At this moment, the greedy giants on Wall Street will only dislike that they have invested too little and fallen too slowly, and they will never think about the problems you are thinking about now.
How could such a feast of capital be stopped because of Pennsylvania Avenue's proposal? Even if he wanted to, I am afraid that Mr. Grimm would not have agreed.
You must know that the United States is capitalism, not socialism, as long as capital does not violate the laws of the country and does not infringe on the interests of the United States, it will not be regulated, even if it is regulated, it is just a small fish and shrimp behind the giant crocodile.
You see that every time this happens, it's not they who are pushed out, have you ever found a real boss behind the scenes?"
James's performance was a little cute in George's eyes, and as a finance student, a person who had been in the industry for three years and had passed his rookie years early would believe in a savior.
In the capitalist society, there is no savior, there are just some people who need fame and begin to come out to clear themselves after the greatest gains are in their hands, so as to show their innocence and gain favor by the way.
As for the owner of Pennsylvania Street, although he represents the Democratic Party of the middle class and ranchers, but in this case, all he can do is to make a speech to deceive a little support, and if he wants to really make a move, then the vested interests in Congress and the Federal Reserve, the driving force behind the scenes, may be the first to agree.
"James America is not a country such as China and Singapore, and there will be no state regulation when there is a major crisis, which was deliberately avoided by the people who made the law at that time, of course, all this has a premise, that is, the manufacturing industry cannot be destroyed, and everything else can be destroyed and rebuilt under such a premise, don't you see that animal husbandry and agriculture and animal husbandry are often poisoned by them in many cases? . ”
Looking at James, who was a little stunned, George sighed in his heart.
As a pure American, James, because of his background at the bottom, and the impact of news reports for many years, although because of being admitted to Harvard, his views on many things that were originally taken for granted have changed a lot, but it is normal for his vision to still be blinded by many things.
"George,,, I ,,,,"
"Well, James doesn't need to think about superfluous things now, now we need to devote ourselves to the war in front of us, how much we can get depends on how far we can go, miss this feast, I don't know how long we have to wait to get such an opportunity. ”
Seeing James, who wanted to say something but couldn't open his mouth, George patted him on the shoulder and smiled.
With that, he walked towards the window to the side, knowing that his words had laid a bloody truth in front of James, and he needed time to digest it.
Lighting a cigarette, taking a deep breath, looking at the Victoria Harbour in the distance, which was still brightly lit as day, George's heart was very happy, no, it was the excitement that was just forcibly suppressed by reason.
The outbreak of the Internet crisis gave George, who had just returned to his life, a big gift package.
But now this package has a big problem.
How should the money be spent? You can't bring them all together, it's not to tell the crocodiles who are opening their mouths wide open at the moment that this little fish has torn a piece of meat from your mouth, not the soup and water that you don't care about.
He believes that the branches of Goldman Sachs and Morgan in Xiangjiang must have begun to notice him at this moment.
Although the short positions are scattered, after many accounts have purchased, but there are such huge short positions in Heung Kong and Singapore at the same time, it is impossible not to attract their attention, even if they start to think that they are retail investors, but every company has some people who specialize in monitoring the market, after the market is normal according to their expectations, they will not want to figure out in the face of so many positions?
What***, what secret channels are just under their noses, but they usually don't care, but once they come together, it's different.
The current George is different from the previous George, although he does not have a clear plan, but he does not want to mess around in the crocodile pool, at least not at this time.
The water in the financial market is bottomless, and the people who have been fighting in it all the year round can't guard against it, not to mention him, a rookie among the rookies in the eyes of Wall Street.
"George, what are you thinking, the smoke is going to burn your hands. ”
"Oh, I'm wondering if Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs are studying us with our materials in their hands at the moment. ”
George, who was pulled back to reality by James, looked at James, who seemed to have figured it out for a while, casually extinguished the cigarette butt on the ground with his foot, and said with a smile.
As a man who is about to become a super-rich, George now needs to show his calm side and everything under control, as for any fear and worry, he can't show the slightest in front of his subordinates and familiar people, otherwise it is not a good thing for the army to be unstable.
