Chapter 123: The Bottom Line of Fifty Dollars

Stunned for a moment.

The share price of BP Oil has fallen to the brink of fifty dollars, and it may only take a few minutes or even seconds to fall below fifty dollars!

"Who is this, such a decisive action, such a careful calculation." Yang Yang stared at the computer screen, looked at the stock trading data of BP Petroleum in the United Kingdom, and said in amazement.

"Oh? Yang Yang, do you mean that these sell orders were made by one person? At this time, Tang Bao also came back to his senses, looked at Yang Yang and asked.

The outpouring of sell orders were very scattered, and Tang Bao didn't understand where Yang Yang could tell that it was done by one person.

"Yes, it's not right. Boss, this 'who' may be an investment institution, or it may be a secret alliance formed by several hedge funds, investment banks, etc. However, up to now, they should not have made a real sale, and the previous sell orders were only tentative. Yang Yang looked at the stock sell orders of various British BP oil companies that kept coming, and said thoughtfully.

"Hmm...... Boss, did you notice, the first few sell orders that popped up were tens of thousands of shares. Yang Yang suddenly reminded again.

"Well, there are so many sell orders all of a sudden, I didn't notice that. Could it be that there is something special about this? Seeing the continuous emergence of sell orders, Tang Bao couldn't help but secretly rejoice, at this time, every number falling, even if it is a small number after the decimal point, is good news for him, of course, for the British BP oil company, it will be an unforgettable disaster. Since there are others who are the first to strike. The stock price of the British BP oil company that broke the backwater did not fall or rise, so Tang Bao was not in a hurry.

At this moment, Tang Bao was more interested in Yang Yang's analysis and judgment.

"Uh...... Boss. Aren't we joining? Yang Yang suddenly realized that this was a good time to enter, and talking about other things was tantamount to wasting the opportunity, seeing that Tang Bao seemed to have forgotten his business, he couldn't help but remind. At this time, the stock price of BP Oil is falling every minute, and even if you hesitate for a few seconds, you may lose tens of thousands of dollars and hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Of course.

There is a premise. Someone will take his sell order.

"There's no hurry."

Tang Bao said with a faint smile, for this kind of decline. He didn't care about making that little money. Not to mention that it's not chaotic enough now, and joining too early could expose yourself.

See here.

Yang Yang did not continue to persuade, and he completely understood Tang Bao's intentions. Profitability is secondary, and taking advantage of the chaos to suppress the share price of BP Petroleum is the primary goal. Now that the chaos is looming, but the real chaos has not yet begun, how could Tang Bao, who was bent on hiding behind the scenes, jump out in advance.

There was a moment of silence.

Yang Yang continued to analyze the previous question, "Boss, yesterday you said that you were going to short the stock of BP Petroleum in the United Kingdom, and I deliberately went to check the various data of this company in the first three months. It can be said that since the beginning of the year, the performance of BP oil company in the energy field is very eye-catching. The stock price has risen steadily, with millions of shares traded every day and tens of millions of dollars traded every day, and trading is very active. But the flawless performance was based on a massive increase in the Kuwait Investment Authority's stake in BP Oil. ”

Tang Bao listened carefully.

He didn't look at the detailed data though. But as you can imagine, the news of the Kuwait Investment Authority's big investment in BP Petroleum is definitely a big piece of good news. It is also reasonable to drive the stock of BP Petroleum in the United Kingdom.

After a slight pause for a few seconds and a change of breath, Yang Yang continued: "But these are perfect performances. It came to an abrupt end after the Kuwait Investment Authority publicly announced that it would stop increasing its holdings of BP Oil's shares. The stock price ranged from infinity to $54. It fell directly to around $52, although it quickly stabilized and did not continue to fall, and it seemed unaffected. But all this is an illusion...... The daily trading volume proves this! Well, as of today, the Kuwait Investment Authority has only suspended its holdings for a total of 13 days, and the highest trading day was set last Wednesday, at 293,500 shares, with a turnover of more than $15 million and an average trading price of $51.69 per share. On the worst day, the trading volume was less than 100,000 shares! ”

"This data is less than one-third of what it used to be. What does this mean? Illustrating the unimaginable role that the Kuwait Investment Authority has played in propping up BP Oil's share price, well, perhaps it would be more appropriate to say that it gave rise to a false boom in BP Oil's share price. After the Kuwait Investment Authority withdrew, it lost this stable support, and at the same time slowly returned to reality, that is, the current share price of BP Oil is the market performance...... I even suspect that BP Petroleum used funds to maintain the stability of the stock price. ”

"Uh."

Tang Bao felt that there was some truth, but did what he said have anything to do with his question?

But.

Soon Yang Yang solved the doubts in his heart, and said confidently: "In the thirteen days, the largest sell order is six thousand shares, and the vast majority of them are one or two thousand shares. And just popping up are often tens of thousands of sell orders, so dense, so synchronized in time, if this is the tacit understanding of many investors, I absolutely do not believe it. The only explanation is that there are other institutions that have received the same news as their bosses, and they have calculated that the share price of BP will plummet......"

"Oh."

As soon as he said this, Tang Bao understood.

……

Morning.

Peter sat comfortably in his office working on papers, humming a little tune from time to time, and seemed to be in a good mood.

He had reason to rejoice.

First of all, the Kuwait Investment Authority, after a feeble struggle, finally fell under the stick of the British government and was forced to reduce its stock holdings.

This......

Salim had already called him last night to tell him.

Other than that.

Peter successfully secured $2 billion in financing from Don Bao. It provides a guarantee for its own plan to buy back shares and strengthen the control of the company.

After several months of running, the crisis was finally resolved.

Tired.

But it's also very rewarding. How can you not be happy.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

Suddenly, there was a sharp knock on the door.

Lying on the boss's chair, Peter, who was humming a small tune, frowned slightly, and seemed to be very unhappy and was interrupted, but he still quickly sat up straight, tidied up the messy desktop slightly, and said, "Please come in!" ”

As soon as the words fell.

A stout man. Rushed in at lightning speed, beads of sweat on his forehead. With an anxious face, he said: "Peter, you hurry up and take a look at the stock of BP Petroleum in the United Kingdom......"

Look at the figure rushing in.

The trace of unhappiness in Peter's heart suddenly disappeared, and he showed a faint smile and said, "Hey." Ayrte, why are you in such a hurry to look at the company's stock, I know that BP oil stock has not been doing well in the stock market recently, but this is all temporary, everything will be back on track! ”

"Hell, Peter, that's not what I'm talking about...... Someone is selling BP oil shares in a big amount of money to suppress the company's stock price! Ayrt yelled.

And then.

He also said in detail: "Just a few minutes ago, there was a sudden sell order for millions of shares. The stock price has fallen below $51, and at this rate, I think. Soon it will fall below fifty dollars. This is absolutely not possible, $50 is a psychological bottom line, and the stock price must not be allowed to fall below $50. ”

"What? Someone is shorting BP Oil shares? Peter realized the seriousness of the problem and jumped out of the boss's chair in shock.

Then.

The phone on the desk rang suddenly.

Peter picked up the phone, and a few seconds passed. The whole person felt bad, and his face was a little solemn. Ayrt was right, someone was shorting the company's stock.

"Whew...... Peter, we are currently in talks with HSBC and Barclays for loan financing for two oil exploration and production projects, and if the company's share price falls below $50 at this time, it will be very detrimental to us and may even affect the future financing. And in July, we are planning to issue a billion-dollar corporate bond, which could die due to the fall in the stock price...... "Ayrt had to warn Peter of the serious consequences of a stock price falling below $50.

"Ayrt, I understand!"

Peter nodded heavily, and smiled bitterly.

In fact.

Ayrt hasn't said one thing yet, the stock price of fifty dollars is also the psychological bottom line of many shareholders who support him, once it falls below fifty dollars, the wealth of shareholders will shrink significantly, and they may become extremely angry because of this, and order him to get out of class!

Peter understood that the time had come to test him.

Fortunately.

Peter was well prepared for the recent sharp fluctuations in BP oil shares, and he also called many shareholders to let them know in advance. In a short period of time, the stock price fell, and the impact on his status was still insignificant.

But.

If he can't turn things around soon, that's perhaps.

"Peter, there will be no speculators in the market who sell short the shares of BP Oil for no reason!" Ayrt said heavily.

"Huh? Ayrte, what do you want to say? Peter realized that there was a mystery hidden in Ayrte's words, and perhaps he could guess Ailt's thoughts, but he was a little unconvinced.

"Someone got the inside word ahead of time!" Ayrt said.

Hear the words.

Peter's body shook slightly.

"Someone may have known in advance about the agreement we reached with the Kuwait Investment Authority, and knew that the Kuwait Investment Authority would sell a large amount of shares......"

Any investor understands that as long as the Kuwait Investment Authority sells off its shares, it will definitely drive down the share price of BP Oil.

At this time.

Perform a short operation, and you will definitely gain a lot!

"Peter, I suggest that we have a good talk with the Kuwait Investment Authority and let them put a stop on their plan to sell stocks!" Ayrt suggested.

"Uh. Right! ”

Peter, who was a little confused in his mind, also realized that the Kuwait Investment Authority could not join the sell-off at this moment, otherwise it would be a huge disaster.

Peter hurriedly grabbed the phone...... (To be continued) R655
