Chapter 259: This World Is Too Crazy (Three Watches)
[Ask for a monthly pass!] 】
The average price of Hu Yifei's purchase is around $16.5, and Apple's stock has been beating around $18 this week. Who expected Apple to release their quarterly earnings statement before the opening of the market the next week, the marketing music on the iPod has skyrocketed by 150 million songs, iTunes has become an important source of online digital music sales, this major breakthrough performance, directly drove Apple's profit for the entire quarter to rise by 30% compared with the previous quarter.
People suddenly exclaimed: it turns out that the iPod has become popular among young people before they know it.
Stimulated by this news, Apple's stock soared again from the opening price of $17.8 in a blink of an eye. There is really no big capital speculation this time, but Apple's stock is still skyrocketing out of control, which has stunned the eyes of countless people.
Due to Hu Yifei's previous investment in absorbing bulk stocks, as well as the operation of some followers, it directly led to the fact that when Apple's stock rose sharply, those who wanted to enter the game had nowhere to buy while waving banknotes. This dramatic change directly led to a drama on Wall Street that "once I had a very cheap stock in front of me, but I didn't buy it, and when I wanted to buy it, it had already skyrocketed".
Countless investors complained, and Gallinari, an investor from Silicon Valley, wrote a blog that really made people cry:
"It's a great irony, a tragedy about confirmation bias. Confirmation bias is when you have a preconceived notion about something, and you consciously or unconsciously ignore all the evidence that is against you. And any evidence that is favorable to you will be magnified by you and strengthen your biases. Confirmation bias is a thought pattern ingrained in the deep brain of people, and if you don't force yourself to listen to it, the consequences can be catastrophic.
I can say that I watched Apple grow up under my nose, but as an investor, I missed out on the growth of Apple stock for more than a decade due to my bias against new things, and I thought that "this is a huge shame as an investor".
The iPod, the first truly functional digital music player on the market, was quietly launched in October 2001. The iPod makes it relatively easy for users to copy songs from CDs, and the software interface is simple and easy to use, although the timbre quality of the music is actually a bit worse than that of the Sony Walkman. Occasionally, many people here also see Apple's iPod commercials on TV, but the first reaction is still, who-cares?? Walkmans, these things are just toys for children.
The iPod was initially not compatible with PCs, and its users were still limited, and its real breakthrough was not until April 2003. With the advent of the iTunes store, users can finally buy songs directly online for download, and a song costs only 99 cents. Apple makes only ten cents of profit on each song sold. In October 2003, the iTunes store became compatible with Microsoft's PC software for the first time, and the explosive growth of the iPod finally began. In September of that year, Apple sold 10 million songs online, and by April 2004, it had grown to 50 million.
But at this time, not many people are paying attention to Apple's stock.
But there was a young man from the East who noticed the difference. I have quietly entered the market once before, but then I turned to the gold market. Until the end of the year, he entered the market again, and he had already built a position with a large amount of money and fanfare, and was still shouted and scolded by a group of prejudices on Wall Street. I'm one of them, and I don't believe that one person's intuition can beat me for years of knowledge and experience. But it turns out that we are biased, and what intuition is just to amuse you.
Prejudice has ruined us, and now a fool knows that Apple's stock is going to go up. ”
According to a sample of media surveys, by the end of the year, iPod was even at the top of the list of candidates for Christmas gifts given to each other by friends.
The discussion topics of the key words "Apple" and "Hu Yifei" rose to the first place on Wall Street. The stock is finally starting to soar out of control. In just a few trading days, the asset has doubled upward.
And Hu Yifei, who was hailed by Soros as the future top predator, and the Chinese who was counted out as a pediatric and lucky person by countless Wall Street financial experts, may be comfortably lying at home counting money at this time.
Others can only watch his assets double at a rate visible to the naked eye, from 900 million a week ago, to 1.8 billion now...... Sorry, it's going to be over two billion soon.
Although there is definitely a gap between Soros and Buffett's top predators and financial giants, this myth of getting rich will be broken by everyone on Wall Street for a long time.
Facts have proved that Soros's vision is correct, and the name of the top predator is well deserved!
There may still be some people who argue, "After all, the three-year cold winter of the Internet has tormented the public's jealousy and fear of high-tech investment, and most people's first instinctive reaction is: Is it another bubble?" Isn't it just a selling point to break music? What's the big deal? Microsoft, Sony, other companies can do the same. The stupid hat that buys these Apple stocks now will lose their pants sooner or later. ”
But the facts are in front of us, and Apple is already ahead of the curve.
Sony's competitor was only launched in 2004, but the price is 30% more expensive than the iPod. Microsoft's Zune, on the other hand, won't be launched until 2006. Within a few years, the iPod quickly took over the consumer market. The follower's product, the interface is no better than the iPod, and it lacks the cheap and rich downloadable music library of iTunes. In a market where the first movers set the rules of the game, followers have always struggled to improve.
Stocks are going up!
This is already a very certain thing, and the only suspense now is: can it double before the end of the year, as Hu Yifei predicted?
Hu Yifei's operation, he slapped his face with his strength again, snapped, so happy!
It also made Wall Street wonder how many financial advisers and experts were swollen in the face, and only then did they start to officially financial geniuses, not all of whom came from the United States.
This issue is being discussed in financial circles all over the world, and a Chinese name has emerged in the circle of apex predators. And the Chinese media and viewers are even more like a book from heaven: they only know that Hu Yifei has made money again, and he was scolded by the Americans a few days ago, but now his assets have doubled.
Not only in the capital circle, but also in the real world, the industry has attracted much attention.
Microsoft suddenly sent an acquisition offer to the Facebook network created by Hu Yifei, and the $500 million was only the first offer, but Hu Yifei rejected it without hesitation: "One billion will not be sold!" ”
All IT people are dumbfounded, Facebook seems to have been created only this year, and the media has reported that Hu Yi flew to this bottomless pit to invest money, but he has not seen how to make a profit, which is known as a failed star investment case. Now even Microsoft is tempted to bid $500 million to acquire this "bottomless" website?
Why? Is the world too crazy, or is it really too stupid to keep up with the ideas of geniuses?
I can't figure it out!
However, Hu Yifei shouted the words "Facebook is not sold for a billion", but it really raised the level of the website, at least everyone knows that this website has not yet created profit conditions, and the market value in his heart is not less than one billion dollars.
If you have a good heart, then roughly calculate, wouldn't Hu Yifei's total personal assets exceed $2.5 billion?
Even if you don't count Facebook, just the family film industry, it is enough to have a net worth of two billion dollars.
2 billion US dollars, 16 billion RMB, God.
The world is crazy! (To be continued.) )
