Chapter 834: Take the lead

    No one wants to stand up to save the market, no one wants to come out at this time, because now that the general trend has been achieved, no one knows what will happen next?

      is standing up at this time, that is, when the car is blocked, the money comes out to save the U.S. stock market? What are you kidding, everyone is not the old Morgan, nor the Federal Reserve, and no one has a money printing machine at home, how can there be so much money thrown in the water?

    At this time, investors all over the world have focused on the United States, and everyone has always believed in the U.S. government, because no one believes that the U.S. government will watch their stock market just rot, after all, if it continues to develop like this, the most unlucky will definitely be the U.S. government, as well as the United States.

     But the current atmosphere is very mysterious, Bush Jr.'s term is about to expire, the next leader is still in the stage to be determined, according to the current situation, the Democratic Party is more likely to win, but the current president is the leader of the Republican Party, so will the current Republican leader be willing to leave a good foundation for the successor of the Democratic Party, or will he leave a mess?

    The whole world is speculating about the movements of the US government, after all, according to the current development of the US stock market, the only one who can really save the market is the US government.

    But the U.S. government is silent at this time, and the Federal Reserve no longer makes any strong speeches.

    On August 1, Macquarie Bank announced that their two high-yield subordinated bond funds could face losses of up to 25 percent.

     At this time, there is no point in shorting the U.S. stock futures index, after all, players in the market know that the three major stock indexes in the United States are definitely going to be finished, even if the U.S. government comes out to protect the disk, these three major futures indices will definitely lose a lot, so even if you short the three major futures indices at this time, no one is willing to take over. After all this, who wants to bet with you?

    And the previous opponents of Thunderbird, Deutsche Bank, UBS, Bank of France, etc., have long been liquidated. So at this time, Thunderbird has no home in terms of futures indexes.

     Just on these opponents, they have scraped in 3 billion funds, and their principal has doubled compared to before.

    Thunderbird employees are happy at this time, everyone knows that in the next period of time, life in the United States will definitely be difficult, many people will lose their jobs, and even many people will lose their homes.

    Even those Wall Street tycoons who were glamorous some time ago. It's only been a few days now, and I've heard that many people have either declared bankruptcy or committed suicide by jumping off buildings.

    And these employees were originally in the big investment banks, it is said that the situation is also bleak, many of their former colleagues are said to be sure to lose their jobs at the end of this year, and in the original company, many of the stars they can only look up to are now also discouraged.

    Compared with them, these employees of Thunderbird are undoubtedly very happy.

    There are even a lot of people who think they're lucky. actually came to the Thunderbird company, looked at the miserable situation of his colleagues, and then thought about the arrogant ...... in front of him back then.

    Next year, they won't have a job. No salary, and even very likely to lose their house, their home, and their own side is still good, at least after the previous deal, everyone will definitely have a fat year again.

    "Boss, what do we do next?" ”

    Brian asked Jin Xiaoqiang out loud, it's really a good time to do it, the whole Wall Street is an apocalyptic scene, but it's also a good time to take advantage of the fire to rob.

    ". Shorting, mainly short Citigroup, short Bear Stearns, short Lehman, short Bank of America, these companies. And give me short gold and oil futures. ”

    "...... Short gold? Isn't it a bit early? ”

    Brian asked, he can understand shorting the other companies, he can understand shorting oil, but shorting gold?

    Now it is the world of financial crisis, many investors, especially some investors who lack confidence in the currency, generally choose to invest in gold to preserve their value in order to hedge their risk.

    After all, the first way for a country to deal with such a financial crisis is to devalue its currency and then increase exports to make profits, which can bring in a lot of liquid cash.

    And many investors will choose to invest in gold in order not to shrink their funds with the depreciation of the currency, so that the price of gold will definitely rise because of the concentrated purchase, so it is a bit early to short gold at this time in Brian's view.

    "No, it's not early, Brian you still don't know enough about the impact of this financial crisis, the main reason for this financial crisis is that those Wall Street guys are too greedy, they make the plate too big, and now the cash flow in the market is about to dry up, and all the banks dare not lend out, because the loans they issued before will definitely not be recovered, and the repossessed houses cannot be sold at high prices, so they will have a shortage of cash, Many companies in the market will shut down due to lack of funds, so you don't know the scarcity of funds now, and you are about to enter the era of cash king. When the time comes, those rich people will take out the money to save their businesses, and they will have the heart to invest in gold......"

    Jin Xiaoqiang's words made Brian's expression darken, indeed Jin Xiaoqiang was right, which means that the scale of this financial crisis is unprecedented, because only such a large-scale financial crisis will cause a shortage of funds in the market.

    Brian went out to give instructions like the overmarketers outside, and what Jin Xiaoqiang had to do this time was to suck the blood of these American banks.

     and stock index futures market are different, this time Jin Xiaoqiang concentrated on the instructions to short these banks, but they are all large listed banks, at this time they still have some surplus money in hand, and this money is to prevent people in the financial market from maliciously shorting their stocks.

    In other words, how much others sell them short, they have to take over, if they don't take it themselves, it means that they have no money in the bank, so that people will run their banks, if it causes such a panic, then even if you have the Fed's money printing machine, you will be powerless.

    In fact, at the beginning of the financial crisis, these included the five major investment banks, as well as Citigroup, Bank of America and other big banks, and their funds were still full of wealth.

    And by their consistent prestige, they are the only ones in the market who do other people's share, and others dare to touch them?

    But when is this? This is a financial crisis, and countless investors in the market have lost a lot of net worth.

    So if Jin Xiaoqiang remembers correctly, at the beginning of that time, no one dared to attack these banks, after all, behind these banks are those giant consortia, and their strength is unfathomable.

    But later, although some of the investors were unwilling to lose like this, they began to attack these banks, Bear Stearns was the first to fall, and their stocks fell sharply in the market, from more than 100 dollars at the highest time, and finally directly turned into waste paper.

    Their capital chain was broken, and the funds could not receive the sky's worth of empty orders, and in the end they could only watch people swallow their wealth one by one, and their performance in the stock market also made the vast number of Americans lose confidence in them, and finally Bear Stearns' bank ran out, and in just two days, they withdrew more than $3 billion in bank deposits.

    In the end, Bear Stearns could only become the first domino to fall in the financial crisis, and then Lehman and Merrill Lynch did not follow in their footsteps.

    In the end, even Goldman Sachs and Morgan have always had a strong background and were not let go, and finally the two banks relied on their strong foundations, as well as the complex relationship with American politics, and finally escaped in the hunt of many investors, but at that time Goldman Sachs and Morgan had turned the previous decades of efforts into nothing, and the two banks cried and said that they would no longer be investment banks in the future, and would switch to other industries.

    And Citigroup and Bank of America are also such savings banks have not escaped the siege of investors, Citigroup's stock has also fallen from more than 100 to more than 20, until this time Citi is still resisting stubbornly, after all, savings banks and investment banks can call up more funds, but unfortunately in the end their capital chain is about to collapse, in desperation they can only announce that they give up resistance, and finally Citigroup's stock fell more than two dollars a share at the lowest time……

    Bank of America also did not get any better, although he was a savings bank like Citi, but his amount of funds was not as strong as Citigroup's, and in the end he could only surrender his guns.

      simply gave up resistance in the stock market, just to be able to save a little money in the end, but fortunately, the earnings of these two banks in the rest of the world can be supported, and in the end they barely survived.

    And Citi simply sold some of its shares to a large consortium from Abu Dhabi, which was spared the funds, which shows how serious the crisis of the Bank of America was during this time.

    Before Thunderbird started on these banks, because of the confusion in the market, many investors did not know how to deal with the crisis and recover their losses...... (To be continued.)
