Chapter 210: Getting Rich? Go belly up?
THERE ARE SEVERAL MAC COMPUTERS IN THE SUITE, AND THE BLACK BACKGROUND ON THE SCREEN, WITH RED AND GREEN LINES, ATTRACTS THE ATTENTION OF DANIEL, RAYMOND AND THE TRADERS.
"The 16 million barrels of intermittent purchases are already in place." A thin layer of sweat appeared on Raymond's forehead, "It's already crowded to buy now." ”
"It's not a critical moment yet, the important thing is to sell and buy short after it's in place, so that they can move a little bit more quickly and in a short time."
Raymond didn't rush out, but asked hesitantly, "Daniel, I don't know much about your sources, but do you really think all of this is trustworthy?" I mean, you've bought 16 million barrels, and if you expect to sell it for around $40, you've already made more than $300 million. However, if you continue to go short, it means that you may lose all your money and you may take on debts that you simply cannot afford. ”
Raymond's concern and caution were absolutely necessary.
According to Daniel's operating instructions, their average buying price is about $20, and the price of selling is at $40, which has a 100% yield, in other words, Daniel's 300 million principal will be doubled to 600 million - normal market investment or speculation, so far it can be called a big victory, in just one day, a gain of 100%, or 300 million US dollars, even the giants of Wall Street will be absolutely satisfied with this yield. But if it continues, that is, according to the margin short buying plan, when selling oil, according to Daniel's news, the price is still on the rise, and the peak may be between $42 and $43, and the margin ratio at that time must be low enough - because the buyer's demand is very strong, the margin ratio may be as low as 30%, which means that Daniel can get 2 billion funds, and in the inertia upward phase, for every two dollars raised, Daniel will lose 100 million. Once the payout exceeds his margin, which means that the price reaches $52, Daniel's deposit will be completely lost - in other words, it means that the account will be frozen. Declared bankrupt. Even if the price dives at this time, Daniel will not be able to hold this time.
"My opinion is that if the front part goes well enough, not all the funds should be transferred to the short sale warrant, at least we need to leave enough capital to compensate for the margin. Count it this way. We might, probably make a little less, but greed tends to ruin all that. ”
Daniel must admit that Raymond's advice is the safest, with a high enough yield and a higher safety factor.
However, he still decided not to adopt.
It's not that he's not entirely worried about history changing, but that, after measurement, he doesn't think the rate of change is worth giving up on the huge rate of return.
Because none of this has changed because of his arrival, he is not dressed as the president of Iraq. Nor did he dress as the president or commander of operations of the United States, and all the influencing factors were the same as before, which has been proven countless times in many themes and film performances without his interference - and even, the inertia of history has made some films even immune to the influence of his butterfly wings, such as "Harry. The box office of Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, as well as the results of this year's Golden Globe Awards.
There was no reason for him to give up doing it purely because of safety.
It was a big gamble, but the odds told him it was worth it.
"Raymond, the original plan, OK? What needs to be paid to you I've left it for you, rest assured. ”
A competent investment agent. After fulfilling the duty of persuasion, all that must be done is absolute obedience.
Anyway, it's not one or two people who jump off Wall Street every year.
……
"The action is on!"
A phone call reached Daniel's phone, and the news was scrolling on the television. It's even more intuitive on the web.
Raymond hung up the phone and clapped his hands in front of the two traders who were looking curiously at the back room, "Brothers, let's start this adventure that we will never forget." ”
"No problem."
The quality of the professionals is reflected very completely, almost in the blink of an eye. They are absolutely focused on analyzing the information, keeping an eye on the price, and being ready to act at any time.
Bombing!
Ground troops!
Resist!
The death toll of the US military exceeds 40!
More than 60 people!
By 3:20 p.m., the significant resistance encountered by the army, pushing up the price, which had skyrocketed to $38 and counting.
"Boss, I think you should discuss with the person in the back, now there are no buy orders at all, everyone's price estimates are above 60, and this must be a process that will last at least a few days." One of the traders, Neeson, suggested, "It's too puzzling to sell at $40." ”
"I'm not the boss, the one in the back is. He has another profession, and he secretly tells you that he is still God. Raymond gave the order in all seriousness, "Everything is sold at the estimated price, brother, do not be greedy." ”
Trader Neeson shrugged his shoulders, "You are the gold lords, and it is God's freedom to be kind." ”
As the negative news spreads further, the price continues to rise.
"Really want to sell? You have one last chance. Neeson roared.
Raymond gasped a few times and looked at the door of the room, where Daniel didn't move.
"YES, DON'T ASK ANYMORE, FUCCCK!"
"Boss, your god can't be asleep, right? I recommend going for confirmation at the last minute. ”
Raymond's phone rang suddenly.
"God, you changed your mind?"
"No, Raymond, I'm ready to make a move right away, and I'm going to buy short at the same time." Daniel's order was short, direct, steady and powerful, seemingly unaffected by the current rapid accumulation of dollars.
"With this quality, you deserve to be the boss, and I am a part-time worker." Raymond muttered to himself, looking at the price that had rushed to $40, "Sell!" Right away! ”
"Tony, what's the short margin ratio now?"
"32%, boss."
"As soon as Nissen sells, you place a short sell order."
"How much?"
Tony is obviously very familiar with this set, if you are sure that this is a drastic volatility change, then buy low and sell high, and then sell short at high price, buy short at low price, you can make two money, and - the important thing is that the latter is leveraged, usually at 50%, but under the supply and demand relationship, this ratio will also change significantly, for example, now, everyone is obviously more eager for Nissen to sell orders, then short selling orders will also be very popular, at this time the ratio will be very low, and the leverage will be larger. But unless the real message is extremely accurate, there must be an upper limit, which is "how much" Tony asked.
"All the funds in the account!"
Neeson, who was nervously operating, couldn't hear the discussion at all, and although Tony suppressed the urge to scream, he still looked at Raymond very directly with "You're crazy" eyes.
"Yes, yes, Tony, do what you say!"
"Okay, madman God."
Tony started to withdraw funds from his account and place them in his margin account while placing them in short selling orders.
"60 million"
"140 million"
After selling all 16 million barrels in a sweat, Neeson let out a big sigh, "Boss, congratulations to you and your God, you have made 300 million, do you have champagne tonight?" ”
"210 million"
Tony is steadily counting up.
"What is Tony doing? Counting money? Neeson leaned over to look, and as his pupils began to dilate, Raymond covered his mouth and pushed him to the side.
"You're short selling? All 600 million principal? All? Neeson opened his mouth, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence, "Boss, don't be greedy?" That's what you just said, right? ”
Raymond's sweat was already dripping down, and he gestured to Neeson to shut up, watching intently as the stock price went up.
"It's too late now, boss, you're going bankrupt."
Tony stops his movements.
And the stock price is still rising, the news pages are full of unfavorable predictions, and anti-war activists are slamming the government's decision.
$41.
$42.
$42.3.
Tony and Neeson couldn't help but close their eyes, 150 million had evaporated in just one short period of time.
At this time, it is in a suite separated by a wall.
Daniel, who was alone, faced several screens and was also sweating profusely, of course he couldn't calm down, and every decimal point change represented at least millions of dollars.
Thirty-two minutes later.
The price has officially climbed to $43.
Raymond almost ran away, pushed open the door and rushed in.
"43, 43, already 43."
"Calm down, okay? Raymond, I'm not broke. Daniel used the best control of his two lives combined to keep himself calm, but that didn't change the turbulence in his heart.
It's really more than $43, which definitely didn't happen in the previous life.
Could it be that the U.S. ** team really encountered an unexpected situation?
His "Spy Shadows" plus plot helped Saddam's army? Or did the Iraqis bring in Lord of the Rings Sauron in Middle-earth?
At this moment, Daniel made no secret of the fact that he had completely become a slave to money.
Iraqi refugees, war, deaths, anti-war ...... And so on all the words turned into a pile of scrap in the upward trend of the red line, he was more terrifying than any crazy war-go, and he was so desperate that every American soldier would be a superhero and wipe out all the Iraqi army.
Peace? Charitable? Let's wait until he earns the money.
Daniel confirmed that he absolutely did not want to go through such a ruinous experience again, and all his bottom lines were destroyed in an instant.
He promised that he would go crazy.
The upward trend, which has slowed down due to the delay in the latest news, but still climbs towards $44 unrelentingly, means that Daniel is about to lose his second billion.
The margin rate has dropped to a terrible 25% and demand from buyers is at an all-time high.
It's a carnival. (To be continued.) )
