0009 Bet Index

"Adele, what if I like a woman?" Walking down the dilapidated streets of 39th Street, Clifford put his hands in his pockets, stared blankly ahead, and asked with some uncertainty in his mouth.

"Then her, and you won't like her so much when you're done," Adel said, swinging his head around with a cigarette in his mouth, looking at the shop signs on both sides of the street.

"But I've already done it, why do you still think about her?" Collifer tilted his head, thought about it seriously, and continued to ask.

"Then do it again, sooner or later you'll get bored," Adel was still absent-minded, he knew Clifford's mentality, this junior brother finally ended his virgin career last night, that special feeling, made him have a special affection for the two women last night, this is normal. However, it has nothing to do with liking it or not, and of course, it is not love.

"Shall we go again tonight? Brillins, are you still there? Clifford asked expectantly.

"There's a lot of money there, a lot of money," Adair finally found his place, and a sign on the side of the street read "Jons Stock Brokerage" with a line of smaller letters underneath the sign that read "Informal License." This is an informal brokerage firm that New Yorkers like to call "gambling houses."

"yes, we don't have enough money," Clifford smacked his lips and said with some regret.

"So we're going to make money, work hard to make money, Cliffor," Adair said, pausing and looking at the front door of the company.

"But we don't even have a job," Mr. Clifford said.

"We've got a job, Clifford," Adair said with a smile at Nunu, "and now, all we're going to do is go in and earn our share of the money." ”

Collie was stunned for a moment, he turned his head to look at the company opposite, and said in a suspicious tone, "Do you mean robbing them?" ”

Adel rolled his eyes, he didn't bother to explain, and walked towards the door of the company on his own.

This so-called brokerage company, the interior is not decorated at all, from the entrance of the company into it, inside is an open hall, in the center of the hall, there is a circular trading counter imitating the New York Stock Exchange, but there is no real-time price display screen at the top of the counter, its main stock price is on the wall on the right, where two special people write on a small blackboard.

Although the company looks very informal, there are still a lot of people gathered here, and the whole hall is full of people, and it looks very lively.

It was the first time for Adair to come to this kind of place, and even in his previous life, he had no experience of entering and exiting this kind of place, so although he entered the hall, he did not choose to enter directly, but took Clifford around slowly to familiarize himself with the operation process here.

As he knew before, there are indeed stocks in this informal brokerage company, and they can invest as much as they want. For example, a person only has two dollars, but he has a crush on a stock, and it costs $20 a lot, and he can't afford it. At this point, he was able to spend two dollars on the shares he liked in the company, and his final profit was one-tenth of the difference between his two dollars and the price climbing. Of course, there are some fees or something, which can be regarded as handling fees.

Walking around the hall, Adair also discovered a new way to play, which is the company's named "Betting Index" game. He took a look at it and found that this game is really gambling, and it is also a high-tech gamble, of course, this high-tech content refers to whoever wants to win has to be a little high-tech.

The rules of this game are very simple, that is, choose a stock and bet on its rise and fall index in a specific period of time in the future. For example, Texas Oil Refining is selected, and the time period is set for the next 1 hour, you can take out $10 and bet that the stock will rise by 1 percentage point in the next 1 hour. If, after 1 hour, the stock does go up by more than 1 percent, less than 2 percent, then you win and you get $20. However, if it does not rise by 1 percentage point within 1 hour, then you lose and $10 is someone else.

The game is simple to say, but there are actually a lot of variations. For example, if you are very bullish on this stock, then you can buy it, and in the next 6 hours, the stock will rise by 2, or even 3, 4 percentage points. Then the same $10 is invested, and if you bet on a 2 percentage point increase correctly, then, in the end, once you bet right, the company will give the investor a proportion. But if you buy the wrong one, let's say buy a stock that is going up, and all of a sudden the stock is not only not going up, but it's going down. At this time, the customer has to pay ten times the amount of the bet to the company as compensation. For example, if you buy a $10 bet and are convinced that the stock will rise within 6 hours, and the stock price falls after 6 hours, then you will have to pay the dealer $100 as compensation, which is 10 times the compensation.

There is no doubt that this is real gambling, except that there are no dice or poker, and there is no difference in nature.

Compared to buying stocks, this kind of game of betting on the index is undoubtedly more exciting, and it is faster to make money, and Adel likes it, but then again, he is not sure that he will win every time. This kind of game is actually similar to short-term operation, and even more difficult than short-term operation, because it is equivalent to a time period, and you are strictly forbidden to close your position and sell, well, from this point of view, it is somewhat similar to futures.

In general, this kind of game is not won by relying on outside the good judgment, it is a test of data analysis ability, accurate judgment of stock trends, and of course, part of it depends on luck.

Even though there is no guarantee of a 100% win, Adel decided to start with this game because it is a game that pays fast and is as simple as that.

In his last life, Adel had a gambling nature in his bones, in his own words, it was called liking "fighting", either winning big or losing big losses.

Although he decided to play this kind of game and make a profit from it, Yadell did not start directly, in his opinion, a reckless fight without preparation is not a struggle at all, but a real gamble, and the technical content is too low.

He stayed in the circle of betting on the index for a while, saw the six stocks released by the brokerage company today, and then came out of the circle and found Coolford.

"Hey, Clifford, give me that thing." Walking to the southeast corner of the hall with Clifford, Adair took Clifford's shoulders and whispered.

Apparently knowing what he was saying, Clifford nodded, reached for the position of his lower back, and then pulled out a thick color newspaper from his waist.

Judging from the cover of the color newspaper, this is a catalogue of performances at the Broadway Opera House, a monthly magazine, where there is a free gift on Broadway, and it is actually an advertising brochure.

Adair took the pamphlet and turned the first page, only to see that inside the pamphlet, every page of the color newspaper was pasted by newspaper clippings, and as for the content of the clippings, it was all stock market quotations, which Adair had collected in the past two weeks.

"Twin ......," Adel muttered, his fingers searching for the clippings.

The so-called Shuangdian is actually the "Pacific Telegraph and Telephone Company", Shuangdian is the abbreviation name given to it by Adair himself, and this stock is one of the betting index stocks launched by this company today.

The ability cultivated in his previous life made Adel particularly sensitive to data, he turned the pages one by one, and the stock price of Shuangdian on each page was firmly remembered by him, and at the same time, these numbers formed a trend chart with a closed range in his mind, in fact, it was the stock price trend over a period of time.

Sketching with his fingers on the color newspaper, his brain was running rapidly, and it took more than ten minutes for Adair to have a general grasp of the performance of Shuangdian's stock price in the past two weeks.

Returning the color to Clifford, Adair still didn't enter directly, he walked to the quotation board in the center of the hall and began to wait quietly.

The company operates in exactly the same way as all informal brokerage firms, and the quotes here are updated every five minutes. Every five minutes, the people sent by the company to the stock exchange will call back to report the stock price changes during this period, and the copyists here will be busy updating the data.

Adair stood quietly at the quotation board, and stood for an hour, of course, he was not so bored standing in a daze, but summarized the data updated every five minutes, and used several indicators in his mind to analyze the trend of the data. This is an ability that traders of short-term operations in later generations must have, and Adair has always been more prominent in this regard.

Through the analysis of one-hour data, Adair found that the stock price of Shuangdian has been fluctuating abnormally since the opening of today's market, which may be the most direct reason why the brokerage company listed it to bet on the index. Combined with the past data, as well as the trend of the past hour, Adair found that although the stock price of Shuangdian is falling, its homeopathic indicators are continuing to rise, and combined with divergence analysis, it can be found that its trend is infinitely close to the bottom divergence.

This is a good time to buy, in other words, in the following hour, the stock price of Shuangdian should see an upward movement.

Putting down the hand that was always on his chin, Adair turned around and said to Clifford, who was standing next to him with a confused face: "Clifford, go to the revenue desk of the gambling index and buy a $100 double electric rise, a period of 1 hour, an increase of 2 points." ”

"What to buy? How to buy? Clifford was still blindsided, and he said blankly.

Adel reluctantly repeated it again, and then told him: "It's the revenue platform, I don't know how to buy it, just ask." ”

Sending Clifford away, Adair turned his attention away from the twin electric and took aim at another stock, Ford Motor.
