Chapter 3 Buying stocks is like buying pork
In those days, the business of securities companies was very busy. Because the securities company at this time did not have the tripartite depository model of separating the capital account in later generations, the staff not only needed to help the customer open the account, but also needed to be responsible for the deposit and withdrawal of account funds. Investors speculate on stocks directly with a dozen cash on the counter.
In addition, the trading entrustment method in this era is also very primitive, and the purchase and sale of stocks must be filled in the order form on the counter, or completed on the on-site trading machine, and there is no such incomparably convenient online trading as in the future.
This caused the team of securities companies to open accounts moving very slowly like snails crawling, and more than half an hour passed before Sun Ce and the others moved forward a little. However, no one in the queue showed impatience, and no one left the queue halfway, all with a look of anticipation.
"Zheng Shuai, you came into contact with stocks earlier than me, you must be very interested in this thing, anyway, you are idle, why don't you give me a class to teach the basic knowledge of stocks."
"I don't know much about stocks, so I'll tell you a little bit about how to look at the market, so that you don't even know how much money you've made at that time."
"Uh-huh, you say, I'll listen."
"It's not complicated to buy and sell stocks, you just go to a small vegetable market and buy pork. You go to the small vegetable market and take a look, the pork costs 2 yuan a catty, and then you say give me 10 catties, that is 20 yuan. Buying stocks is actually the same, you look at a stock for 10 yuan a share, and then you say buy 100 shares, oh yes, this stock is at least 100 shares to buy. ”
"Well, I get that. 10 yuan a share, buy 100 shares that is 1000 yuan. So how do you make money after buying stocks? ”
"Then it's like buying pork, you buy 10 catties of pork for two yuan a catty, and then the price of pork rises the next day, it rises to 3 yuan a catty, and you sell that pork, 20 yuan becomes 30 yuan, and you make 10 yuan."
"Oh, I see, that is, today I buy a share for 10 yuan, and tomorrow I sell it for 20 yuan a share, and I will make money, right?"
"Well, that's right."
"But I bought it for 10 yuan a share, why do people want to buy it for 20 yuan a share?"
"Because...... Because this stock will go up, and when it rises to 30 yuan, won't the person who buys it make money? ”
"But if the stock will rise to 30 yuan, why should I sell him?"
"Isn't that up yet? Anyway, the overall trend of stock prices is always up. Just like the price of pork in a small vegetable market, you see that when we were young, pork only cost a few cents a catty, and now it has risen to two yuan a catty. Believe it or not, in another 20 years, when 2013 comes, pork can rise to 10 yuan a catty! ”
"10 dollars a pound? So can anyone afford pork? You're, aren't you? ”
"That's not for sure, who knows what the future holds. But no matter what, the stock price, like this pork price, is definitely going up. ”
"Hmm," Sun Ce nodded in agreement.
"Then I'll teach you how to read the stock market. If you look at the big screen in front of you, it's all the stocks listed. You see that the first column is the stock code, this thing is like our ID number, the stock code is six digits, the first three are Shanghai stocks starting with 600, and the first three are Shenzhen stocks starting with 000. ”
"Is there any difference between Shanghai stocks and Shenzhen stocks?"
"Anyway, the market for issuance is different, and it doesn't seem to make any difference."
"Oh, you go on."
"And then you see, each stock on this screen shows four prices, the current price, the opening price, the highest price, and the lowest price. Of course, this current price is the latest price now, and the opening price is the price that opened in the morning. By the way, the stock market opened at 9:30. And then these highs and lows are the highest and lowest prices that have been seen so far today. ”
"I've seen a lot of stocks open at the same price as the low, and that's why."
"You are still observing very carefully, the opening price is the same as the lowest price, which means that the stock has been rising all the way since the opening this morning, and the opening price is of course the lowest price. So you see, if you don't buy it quickly, the cheap stocks will be snatched up. ”
"And then why are some stocks on the screen red and some green?"
"Red is a festive color, which means that the stock is rising; As for green, it's like being cuckolded, which naturally means that the stock is falling. ”
There are many new retail investors who are blind to stocks, and Zheng Shuai's explanation quickly attracted the attention of a group of people around him.
"Then you see that the top of the screen scrolls like a marquee, which is the large-market index, there are two indexes in total, one Shanghai Composite Index and one Shenzhen Index."
"Well, I see, it seems to show more than 1130 points, oh, this will be 1140 points."
"This broad market index is a collection of all stock prices, so it's constantly changing. Two days ago, the Shanghai Composite Index was less than 1,000 points, and even more than a few hundred points earlier. So you see how fast the stock is rising. ”
"So how do I buy stocks?"
"When the time comes, you can pick a stock that looks pleasing to the eye from this screen, and then go to the counter over there to fill out the order, write the name, price and quantity of the stock you want to buy, and fill in the rest according to the other person's appearance. Remember to fill in the price at a higher price than the displayed price, so that you can buy. ”
"Can't I fill in cheaper? If you buy it expensive, you will lose money. ”
"If you want to fill it cheaper, it's called hanging basket head, but if you do that, you probably won't be able to buy it. You think, now that the market is so good, who wants to sell you a stock at a cheap price? In case you don't buy at a low price, and the stock price rises again, then you can only buy at a higher price. This is called short selling in stock terminology. ”
"So many stocks, which one do you say you should buy? I don't have a clue. ”
"There is a lot of knowledge in this stock speculation, and it depends on technical analysis and internal information."
"Do you need technical analysis to buy pork? How does this work? ”
"Technical analysis is to look at the past trend of stocks to analyze and predict future trends, but I don't understand this very well."
"And how do you choose stocks?"
Zheng Shuai looked around, put his mouth to Sun Ce's ear and whispered, "I have inside information." Some time ago, I was told that the dealer was going to speculate on the three spinning machines, and the stock price would double. Do you know the dealer? It is an institution that has a lot of money and manipulates the stock price behind it. You see, the stock is only about 20 yuan now, and if it doubles, it will be 50 yuan. ”
Sun Ce also hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Okay, then buy this stock, if I make money at that time, I will definitely not forget you." ”
"By the way, how much money did you bring to open an account today?"
"I don't bring much, just 3,000 yuan, which is all private money I usually save."
In the early 90s, the average monthly salary in Shanghai was only about 100 yuan, and 3,000 yuan at that time was equivalent to more than 100,000 yuan now.
"The kid can, there's a lot of money in the private house. I was worried that you didn't have enough money to buy stocks. 3,000 yuan is enough to buy 100 shares of three spinning machines. ”
After queuing for more than an hour, Sun Ce finally opened a stock account. 3,000 yuan in cash in exchange for a glittering shareholder account card, printed with Sun Ce's shareholder account number: A1301*****.
Because it was impossible to buy and sell stocks on the day of opening the account, the day after opening the account, on January 28, 1993, Sun Ce bought 100 shares of Santextile Machinery at the opening price of 25.6 yuan, which was the first stock he bought in his life.
The excited Sun Ce never dreamed that Pandora's box would be opened, and a huge crisis was about to come.
