Pentagon spokesman Cohen claimed that the US-British coalition forces have achieved absolute superiority in the war against Iraq, and the Iraqi resistance forces have been completely defeated, and the coalition forces are advancing to Baghdad, and it is expected that victory in the war against Iraq will be achieved within a few days. In response to the surging anti-American wave in the United States and around the world, Cohen said that cracking down on the hotbeds of terrorism will protect the people of the United States and the world from terrorist attacks. ”

Fox TV's live broadcast of the Iraq War, temporarily cut to Cohen's speech at the Pentagon.

This information and the actual situation that followed were quickly reflected in the crude oil futures market.

At this time, the price was infinitely close to $44.

Raymond's face was almost pale.

"Oh God."

Neeson listened to the Fox anchor on the TV, then quickly turned to the computer screen.

The delay is very short, or rather, the vast number of people in the market do not get the news from the TV at all.

Prices are starting to bottom out violently.

Tony and Neeson both stared at Raymond, then looked back at the room in unison.

Inside, there may really be God sitting.

"Boss, when should we buy?"

The act of buying short and selling short is mainly to borrow crude oil from the market to sell at this price by paying margin at a high price, and then return it to the market by buying crude oil at a low price. So, now that it seems that Daniel and Raymond are gods, the question to consider is when to buy 50 million barrels to close out the amount that was previously sold.

This determines how much money they can make in a short and short speculation.

“22！”

“22？” Tony confirmed once that although he lacked the confidence to give advice to Raymond and God, he still didn't understand the number, "Boss, I'm not questioning the number, in fact, I just want to ask." The United States attacked Iraq, and even if we win quickly, there is likely to be a problem with Iraq's oil supply, and the market's concern about this will inevitably curb the decline in oil prices. I don't think it's possible to completely lose gains back to around 35 at most. ”

"22, God said."

“…… All right. ”

This time there were no surprises.

The market is full of sell orders, everyone is selling, and the volume must have squeezed New York.

"No one is buying it now. Basically, they can't be sold, they're losing money, they're going bankrupt. Neeson stared at the price of oil, "I wouldn't be surprised that there are dead bodies all over the hotel now." ”

40,39, oil prices slowly returned to 35......

At this time, there have been some sporadic buy orders, which must have been the same as Daniel's short orders, and it is clear that the price of $35 has satisfied them, or is within their forecast.

But there was no movement in the presidential suite.

"I feel like I have a layer of salt on my forehead and the air conditioner is too hot."

Sweat drips out and dries out again and again.

"Oh my God. Oh, my God. ”

When the oil price came to $35, there was a sudden sharp drop.

In just half an hour, it fell to the price of $26 - which is about the same as the opening price in the morning. Raymond has only eaten crude oil in the past few months, and the price of oil has only been around $20, but as the war clouds unfolded, the price of oil was already standing above $24.22 at the opening of this morning.

The previous gains have been completely wiped out.

Not surprisingly, when the diving-like amplitude curve reached $22, Tony began to buy in large quantities.

This almost brought the price to a halt here, with 50 million barrels bought. That's enough to affect the market a bit, especially now that there is hardly any buying, and investors now expect prices to continue to fall. They are clearly sure that the market's guts have been scared.

"40 million"

"25 million"

"It's over! Wow! Boss, you sent it. ”

Raymond collapsed on the couch like a force of disability.

In the room, Daniel was no better, his eyes were looking at the roof in distraction, and when he broke the $43 just now, he really felt that God was laughing at him. Oh no, it's playing with him, God brought him to Hollywood, made him work until now, and then, when he was not greedy enough, took everything from him at once: wealth, fame, status, power.

And he, like a clown, became the joke of all in the midst of God's sarcastic laughter.

But now, he really is God.

Everything was perfect.

After falling to $21, the market began to rally back - buy orders poured in.

Except for the forces behind it that are enough to manipulate everything, such as the rumored funds belonging to the Bush family, almost no one has been able to make a lot of money in this wave of changes.

And Raymond, who decisively bought and closed the position at $22, has received a lot of attention.

But this money is really not enough to make those predators go on a big deal.

Raymond pays a generous fee to get Tony and Neeson out of the hotel, and they don't know who God really is in the room from start to finish.

"Daniel, you're the richest star in Hollywood!"

Roughly calculated, 300 million principal, sold when it rose to $40, gained 100%, and the account became 600 million, and then sold short at this price, 30% leverage, increased 2 billion in the account, plus margin of 2.6 billion, and bought and closed the position at $22, spending 1.1 billion, so at this time Daniel had 1.5 billion in his account.

In one day, less than 12 hours.

Earned 1.2 billion, with a yield of 400%.

Raymond felt that this would be the most incredible operation of his life.

Walking out of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, I was faced with a bloody sunset, burning fiercely.

Daniel was wearing last night's clothes, a little uncomfortable, he moved slightly, and after a little better, he turned right to the intersection, reached out and flagged down a taxi, which drove for about forty minutes. Stopped right in front of a Walmart. He pulled out a hundred dollars from his wallet and handed it to the driver.

"Good luck, brother."

In the supermarket parking lot, his Mercedes was parked there.

Miller got out of the car and opened the door for him.

Familiar décor, familiar feel. Daniel leaned comfortably back in his seat and squinted, "Go home, Miller." ”

……

"Good morning. Danny, you're really getting higher and higher now. ”

"What's the bad news that makes you so excited early in the morning? It's as if you can get rich if I go bankrupt. ”

It wasn't Sally, it was Melissa, the former agent in charge of DD Pictures' Daniel Investment Department. I seem to be much more active now, and I just signed up for a seminar to supplement my ignorance in the field of financial law.

Melissa handed a newspaper to Daniel.

It reads, "McCain slammed Daniel. Sandler is a joke."

"Oh, oh, oh, it's a lot higher."

John. McCain, the Senate of Arizona, who lost to George W. Bush in the last presidential election and failed to become the Republican presidential candidate, likes to appear on TV shows and give interviews. The "enlightened" politician, who makes guest appearances on TV and movies, and is obsessed with celebrities and Hollywood, has taken aim at Daniel this time.

When Daniel was appointed goodwill ambassador to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), he once said that the United States could not win -- in a televised speech delivered on the second day of the war, George W. Bush declared that the US-British coalition had basically won the victory. Although he was defeated by George W. Bush's subordinates, as a fellow Republican, he certainly would not be polite to attack Daniel, who was biased towards the Democratic Party.

"This young star who didn't go to college, obviously a war is the same thing as a movie, and it just needs to be made up casually."

Daniel's good mood has not changed in the slightest, in fact. Whoever has made more than a billion yuan will not mind some bad words, not to mention that the other party is still an old political player -- the current president who plays against him is the one who plays with him. So what's there to be angry about? He also has to attend the premiere of "Hotel Rwanda" today.

Starting today, "Hotel Rwanda" will be screened on 102 screens across the United States. Washington, two Oscar winners, will attend a meet-and-greet at one of AMC's cinemas today, though he wants to schedule the meeting at the Oriental Cinema. However, the Oriental Cinema is making improvements in the off-season - introducing digital screens, 3D digital screens and a large IMAX screen.

Now most of the standard outfits for Hollywood stars to attend events are solemn and heavy colors and styles, because everyone is avoiding being considered out of place by the public, and now that the United States are fighting in the Middle East, it is difficult not to cause disgust if the stars wear fancy clothes.

Los Angeles, one of the cities with the most fierce anti-war protests, can now see demonstrations almost every day, holding portraits of "executioners," "murderers," "war maniacs," and Bush, and shouting passionate slogans as they walk down the streets.

In fact, Daniel has received a lot of invitations, but he has two movies released recently, so his participation in them may be perceived as hype, so he basically declined them.

Besides, he didn't have time.

After getting out of the car in front of the theater, the media who had been waiting here for a long time swarmed around, and the security guards in sunglasses - not to be cool, but to avoid being affected by the flashing lights, so that people could fish in troubled waters and hurt the people they were protecting, these security guards stopped the reporters one after another.

Daniel will be interviewed here for a short time.

There are so many news points on him that all the reporters are like taking hormones.

"Did you hear McCain's remarks? What do you think? ”

"I remember saying that the army will have an advantage in the short term, and in the longer term, it will not be able to cope with the endless number of attacks. I insist that the current victory is not really a victory. As for Mr. Senator, there may be a deviation in our understanding of 'short' and 'long', after all, he may not be able to do it. ”

American-style dirty jokes, very popular with everyone, although the atmosphere is not right, still provoked a lot of laughter.

Next, topics about war, about the Golden Globes, about the Oscars, etc. were raised in turn, Daniel has been in the industry for several years, experienced countless turmoil, has been familiar with dealing with the media, and eighteen kinds of martial arts are at his fingertips, and finally everyone can't figure out whether they have gotten the answers they want, so they let Daniel enter the cinema.

"Do you have any plans to give a specific explanation for the Golden Globes turmoil? Daniel? Daniel? ”

The last question was asked after he turned around.

"Explain? After the Oscars, of course. Daniel thought of a windfall, and thought to himself with a smile. (To be continued.) )
