Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass!
On this day of August 20th, all the traders of Thunderbird have already received the news, and their big boss's actions are about to start in the past few days.
After the boss came, to be honest, everyone was a little unclear So, Jin Xiaoqiang entered the company through a secret channel and did not show up in front of many ordinary employees, so except for those traders from the Celestial Empire, these old beauties still don't know who the real big boss of the company is, except for a few executives, of course.
And even if they vaguely know that the boss of the company is Jin Xiaoqiang, they don't care too much, and the international hegemony of decades has also cultivated the spirit of Americans.
Although Jin Xiaoqiang has made great achievements in the field of automobiles, these American pride of the sky still don't take him very seriously, after all, interlacing is like a mountain, they don't care where you are sacred, in their opinion, only they are Americans, and playing finance is the most savvy.
Several executives of the company also expressed their incomprehension of Jin Xiaoqiang's silence for five consecutive days after coming to the company, after all, he had only thrown out tens of millions of dollars to them to operate in the capital market.
This time the big boss appeared in person, and they thought that the boss would make any big moves, but Jin Xiaoqiang's silence for five days really made them a little confused.
Today can be regarded as good, the sudden action of the big boss made them excited all of a sudden.
In the morning, as soon as the futures index market of the major stock markets in the United States opened, Jin Xiaoqiang gave a clear instruction to give me long oil and give me long orders.
We have a strong foundation, even if you open more orders for me, it doesn't matter how high the price is, but as long as it is within the range of price control in a step-by-step manner, it is enough.
To be honest, Jin Xiaoqiang's instruction made many of his employees look down on him a little, and some people have even begun to slander whether this boss is stupid.
The most exaggerated thing is that there are even some people who have decided to report their resignation tonight, because now in their opinion, their boss is simply a fool.
Some time ago, when the United States was in the middle of a lively war in Iraq, the price of international crude oil had been speculated to more than $74 a barrel in the US Stock Exchange.
However, with the capture of Baghdad by the US military, Saddam Hussein's escape, and the complete overthrow of Iraq's securities, as economists from all walks of life are optimistic about the situation in Iraq, everyone believes that with the strong entry of US troops into Baghdad and the overthrow of Saddam's regime, the situation in Iraq is becoming calmer, oil production capacity is also recovering, and international oil prices are about to begin to fall.
Under the impetus of such a heart, the price of international crude oil has indeed begun to fall.
In particular, in recent times, the Iraqi side has begun to announce that it will form a democratically elected government, the domestic situation is getting better day by day, and the international oil price has also fallen sharply.
The price of international crude oil has also begun to falter from a high of more than 70 US dollars in March and April, and has fallen to 67 US dollars a barrel in August.
Moreover, according to the judgment and prediction of senior market analysts, it is only a matter of time before the international crude oil price will continue to fall, and may even fall to more than 40 US dollars a barrel before the war.
In addition, at this time, the economic index of the United States performed well, and other countries in the world that participated in the Iraq War also shared the war dividends, and the economic performance of several major powers in the world was in strong growth, so although the demand is not reduced, with the increase in oil supply, oil prices still have to return to the rational price range.
Judging from the trend in the recent period, the price of oil will have to go down and adjust, and as for the long-term trend, it will depend on the economic growth data of the Celestial Empire and oil imports at the end of this year, as well as the attitude of the United States toward China.
In this way, to enter the market now to speculate on oil, and to go long oil, in the eyes of many people who are a little more knowledgeable, this is simply the act of a madman.
After receiving Jin Xiaoqiang's instructions, Brian even felt that his boss was crazy?
Huang Guotao also said that he didn't understand very much, but that Barbara didn't express her opinion, and the only one who fully supported Jin Xiaoqiang was Alice. …,
She started working with Jin Xiaoqiang, starting from Jin Xiaoqiang's making waves in the Hong Kong stock market, and then experienced the experience of hyping Shancheng beer in China, so her trading style of Jin Xiaoqiang can be said to be absolute and unconditional trust.
After receiving the order, Brian even wanted to come over and discuss with Jin Xiaoqiang and explain the current international situation to him, but before he could speak, he was pushed back by Jin Xiaoqiang.
"You don't need to doubt my instructions, just do what I tell you to do!"
Brian could only return to his office full of grief and anger, and gave instructions to his subordinates to go long on oil, step by step, and put orders out as much as possible.
The traders below, after receiving the order, can only strictly implement this order.
And when the Thunderbird company threw out a large number of orders in the market, countless sharks immediately rushed up and swept away their orders.
In the eyes of many sharks, these people who put more orders are simply fools, and this is simply giving money to the big guys!
In the current world, there are not many such fools, and if you don't give money to the big guys in vain, wouldn't you be punished by God?
The first batch of multiple orders written out were quickly swept away, and Jin Xiaoqiang didn't pay too much attention to it, and directly ordered Brian to continue to place more orders for me, our bullets are enough!
Brian doesn't know if this boss is going crazy, but he can't help it, he's just a wage earner, and whatever the boss says, he will do whatever he wants, anyway, as long as he doesn't owe his wages at that time.
Immediately, more than 3,000 orders were put on the market, and then they continued to be swept away by the predators who heard the news.
In the afternoon of the same day, because of market expectations and consumer psychology, the price of oil on the U.S. futures exchange was reduced by five cents a barrel, and Thunderbird lost 300 million yuan on the same day.
Jin Xiaoqiang didn't care, and the next morning, he continued to write a large number of long orders, and the price of crude oil fell by a dime a barrel on this day.
On this day, Thunderbird Company lost more than 100 million, so two days later, the people of the company have already understood a little, this boss is a fool, it seems that everyone is still asking for more blessings!
It won't be long before this fool loses the last dime in his pocket, so let's go online and look for a job as soon as possible.
Jin Xiaoqiang didn't care what these people thought, he asked Brian to continue to write long orders in the market on the third day, and the price of international crude oil on this day was still around the inventory of $66, constantly fluctuating.
On this day, they lost tens of millions of dollars inside and out, and Brian and other executives were already green at this time, but everyone didn't know how to dissuade Jin Xiaoqiang's crazy behavior.
And that night, Jin Xiaoqiang has been paying attention to the weather forecasts of major news channels in the United States, and finally at about 8 o'clock in the evening, from the weather forecast of the US national television, he saw that on the ocean surface in the southeast of the Bahamas, the No. 12 low pressure of this year has formed a tropical storm.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center also issued an early warning of the tropical storm and reminded people in several states along the southeast coast of the United States to prepare for this hurricane.
The southeast coast of the United States, which is hit by hurricanes almost every year, and the people there and the rest of the United States, to be honest, are used to such a situation, and not many people take it seriously.
And before this tropical storm reached the United States, the financial market in the United States, of course, was still a scene of singing and dancing, and no one would have thought that this hurricane would bring them a catastrophic blow two days later.
Early in the morning of the 24th, Jin Xiaoqiang directly issued an order, give me to continue to do more oil, how much to throw, Brian and his traders have been numb to this loser boss in the past two days, as long as he can still afford to pay his salary, he can toss as much as he wants, anyway, it's his own money, if he is willing to throw the money into the water, then everyone will help listen! …,
On this day, Thunderbird released almost more than 10,000 orders, and Jin Xiaoqiang's 200 million funds have almost been exhausted.
However, on the night of the 24th, the U.S. National Hurricane Center issued another warning and sounded the red alert, because according to their monitoring, yesterday's low pressure has become a tropical storm this morning, and it is rapidly heading towards Florida, and it is expected to make landfall in Florida tomorrow evening.
And at this time, the traders who were forced to stay in the company to work overtime that day have already understood the boss's intentions, what is Florida, what is Louisiana?
Where is the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, the most important oil-producing center in the United States......
Early the next morning, when Jin Xiaoqiang gave the order to go long again, no one in the company resisted Jin Xiaoqiang's order anymore, and everyone understood that this time I was afraid that I would make a lot of money.
These Americans, even gritted their teeth one by one, stared at Hurricane Katrina as it landed in the United States, and then hit Louisiana and Mississippi hard!
They don't care about the life or death of those southerners in those states, in their opinion, as long as this tropical storm hits the Gulf of Mexico and causes the oil center of the United States to stop production, it means that each of them will get a large amount of red envelopes!
Brian and the others were even more excited, this day they were full of energy in the market to make waves, and at this time some other predators, also smelled the smell of conspiracy, combined with the arrival of Hurricane Katrina, everyone immediately understood the intentions of this Thunderbird company, and the emotional family was gambling before!
Now that everyone has eaten the bait, what can we do? If Katrina hits the oil fields in the Gulf of Mexico, the big guy's bare ass loss is a clear result, so what to do now?
Hurry up and hedge long! So on this day, the futures market in the United States was chaotic, and there were many orders thrown by major banks, institutions, and venture capital companies everywhere...... )
