Chapter 829: Shorting the United States

The time has entered July, and the U.S. financial market at this time looks a little weird, many people already know that there is a problem on Wall Street, and the biggest problem is the subordinated bonds in everyone's hands, as well as various financial derivatives. {}

But everyone is reluctant to admit this fact, because at this time, the subordinated bonds in everyone's hands and the financial derivatives derived from him have been enlarged to a market value of up to 62 trillion US dollars, which is a very terrifying data, if this bubble is punctured, then the result is very simple, countless companies will go bankrupt, countless brokers or multimillionaires who are still beautiful today, will have to jump off the building tomorrow.

So everyone is unwilling to face such an ending, many people are like rats on a hot oil pot, trying to find a way to solve this thorny problem, some people think of hedging, but now this plate has been made bigger to a scale of sixty-two trillion, even if you want to hedge, who will be stupid to take over at this time?

It's not going to work! ……

Morgan and Kerry are both employees of Thunderbird, and when the Thunderbird company was hiring, the two were hesitant to come.

After all, both of them had good jobs at that time, one of them worked at Goldman Sachs and the other worked at Merrill Lynch, but because both of them were college students who had just graduated, although they were both graduates of well-known schools in the Ivy League, but for Wall Street, they were all out-and-out rookies.

So although both of them have very good backgrounds, they are just small roles such as floor employees at Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch, and their daily work is to be responsible for doing chores in the company, helping those large mature teams, and doing some basic work such as preparing materials and collecting data.

If you want to be able to access the company's money. Go directly to the market for real swords and guns. I'm afraid it will take a few years of training, and the most important thing is to choose the right leader.

But even if you only do such a small amount of work, but at the end of each year, when the dividend is paid. Two people can basically get a six-figure red envelope.

But even this cannot satisfy the fantasies of young people, after all, Wall Street is a big vanity fair. Who doesn't want to make a name for themselves quickly in such a vanity fair, even if they can't become a dominant fund manager, at least become a well-known trader, right?

Even if you can't become a well-known trader, then you must at least become a senior trader with an annual salary of more than one million, right?

It's a pity that this is Wall Street after all, and there are so many talents that almost the entire North American elite are concentrated here, so if you want to survive here, then you have to survive for a few years.

Unexpectedly, a newly established Thunderbird investment company suddenly appeared at this time, although the company was not well-known. The company given is not high, but it is the lowest line on Wall Street, but the two of them are still moved. Because this company has one of the most basic conditions that are attractive. That is, everyone can access the company's money, as long as they can access the company's money here. Then you can quickly accumulate the most practical practical experience, even if you are not successful in this company in the future, but as long as you have experience, you can change jobs in the future?

So Morgan and Kerry gritted their teeth, resigned from their original company and joined the company, and soon many young people with the same idea as them joined the company.

The company did not break its promise, and soon took out a lot of money to let them go to the battlefield, although many times they are just acting as a screw and a microphone, and constantly executing the above instructions, but such a blood-pumping, exciting life in the stock market and futures market still makes them feel very satisfied. …,

Soon the company achieved miraculous success in the market, several consecutive investments were great successes, everyone was very happy, and even for a period of time, their superiors also allowed them to make some small investments in the market under 50,000 US dollars, although the scale of the funds is not large, but everyone is still very happy, after all, this is the first time that everyone can really break through in this market independently.

Over the past few months, everyone has made and lost, but the most important thing is that everyone has accumulated very good experience, and even some people have been promoted and used on a larger scale of funds because of their keen vision, successful investment, and access to larger funds, which makes everyone feel full of motivation.

Then there is a miracle, the company under the leadership of the mysterious big boss, in the natural gas futures market has achieved an incredible victory, a single action to profit billions of dollars, everyone is crazy, everyone got a lot of red envelopes at the same time, the heart is also full of pride, in the future buddies go out with others have blown, we are also legendary.

But then the company's actions made everyone incomprehensible, and actually gave everyone a paid holiday, and it was a few months, which made everyone very puzzling, you must know that time on Wall Street is money, is the boss really too much money and stupid?

After a few months of waste, many people didn't understand, including Morgan and Kerry, who even thought about resigning and changing companies, but they were reluctant to give up the company's generous salary and big red envelopes, and finally stayed.

However, during this time, they did not do nothing, and the two of them planned to make the most money, especially the recent real estate market in the United States has been extremely hot, and the prices of houses in every state are rising, so the two of them also plan to speculate in the real estate market.

Morgan's picture is a pent-floor duplex apartment in the Harlem apartment on 51st Street in Manhattan, although 51st Street can no longer be regarded as the center of Manhattan, but after all, this is Manhattan is the center of the world, so the housing price here is still not cheap, more than 200 square meters of houses, actually asking for more than 4 million US dollars.

Although Morgan received two big red envelopes from the company, he still had to take out a loan to buy this house, a 30-year mortgage, but Morgan had to sigh that these banks are really shady.

Kerry's side is similar, except that he chooses Los Angeles, and he prefers the sun and the beach to New York, as well as the beauty of the beach, so he bought a villa with a mountain view in Santa Monica, which is also not cheap, and it costs millions of dollars, and he also took out a loan.

Just when the two of them were frightened and begged their grandfather to tell them that the company would quickly find them back to work and earn more money to repay the loan, they finally received a text message from the company, which was very simple in two words: "Come back quickly!" ’

So the two immediately rushed back to the company non-stop, and sure enough, the atmosphere inside the company was already very solemn, and it seemed that there was really going to be a big action, and the two were suddenly excited, but when they got some action instructions from their group leader, the two couldn't help but be dumbfounded,

What the hell is this for? To short sell the Dow Jones index, but also to short the S&P index, not only to short these indexes, but also to Bear Stearns, and Merrill Lynch and other big investment banks, the same to short their stocks, what is this for?

Is the company crazy? Are they going to go to war like the whole of Wall Street? Even if they short two big indexes, they actually short the stocks of so many big investment banks and investment institutions, isn't this going to slap people in the face?

But their group leader didn't explain so much to them, just said to them with a cold face. …,

"Either carry out the instructions, or slap the ass and fuck off."

What else can the two of them say now, where can the mortgage be, the house has been bought, and now they can only pray that the boss of the company is not crazy, and that the American economy is really finished.

However, as native-born Americans, even if they no longer care about politics, they still have inexplicable feelings for this country where they were born and raised.

These directives look strange, companies such a large short of several important U.S. stock indexes and futures, as well as so many large U.S. investment banks, large companies, this is clearly not optimistic about the U.S. economy?

Unless the U.S. economy collapses suddenly, the final result of the company's behavior can only be to lose the bottom of the day, but will the U.S. economy suddenly collapse?

What are you kidding about, is there Black Friday now? Moreover, Afghanistan has been smashed to the ground by us, Iraq has also been overturned by us, even Saddam has been sent to the gallows, and such a thing as a plane hitting a building is impossible to happen again, so how can the US economy suddenly collapse?

Unless a world nuclear war breaks out, but that's even more unlikely! Is it April Fool's Day? But it's already July, how is that possible?

Although Morgan and Kerry have all kinds of questions, the over-marketers of their level will not have access to the company's high-level insiders at all, and they can only follow the instructions sent from above, sit in front of the computer, and start selling short orders on 1510.

They know that they are shorting the US economy by doing this, but the instructions from above, they can't do anything at all, don't think about anything, since the above is willing to send money to our American people, then let them go crazy, it seems that we will have to find a job again in the future, just damn it, Lao Tzu just spent money to buy a new house, and before he lived in it for a few days, he was going to be taken away by the bank, which was really unwilling
