Chapter 686 is faster than robbing money (II)

The United States is ready to make a move on Syria, and some people must know the news faster than the outside world, and the United States has several consortiums that have actually known the truth for a long time, after all, the United States is actually equivalent to a country composed of major consortiums, and it is for these consortiums, so when the United States started, some of these consortiums immediately bought long orders, and there were still a lot of these lists, and oil prices began to rise slowly.

Now that the situation in the world is so unclear, it can be said that the storm is coming, and the United States naturally cannot come up with its own strategic reserves of crude oil to stabilize oil prices, and it is not much for Syria and these countries to be different from the Gulf War and so on, the scale is not so large, even if the oil price increases, it is nothing. And those consortia may not be willing to let the U.S. government stabilize oil prices, of course, even if they do, they must be aware of these consortia, and they are bound to be equally short.

So when Stefan directly smashed out a $10 billion short order, these people were directly stunned, $10 billion short order is not small, if they don't buy long, eat this empty order, then the price of oil will definitely fall, then the result will definitely be that they lose money, even if they can't lose much, but all in all, they will lose money, if you count the profits they originally calculated, it is not a small amount of money.

"Did you find out? Where is the funding coming from? The Rockefeller family, the elder Rockefeller looked at his assistant and asked.

"There is no latest news yet, and it is impossible to confirm the identity of the other party, but the source of funds is from Europe, and it should be some big European consortium." The old Rockefeller's assistant said respectfully.

"Europe." Old Rockefeller chewed on these two words in his mouth, repeated them, and then touched his chin. After a long time, he thought for a while and said: "Use a small part of the funds first, eat all the empty orders of the other party, and see the follow-up actions of the other party." ”

"Yes." Futures trading is not like the stock market, because the cycle is relatively long, so there is no need to stay by the trader's side all the time, but Stefan does not dare to relax at all, others don't understand what this is about, but can Stefan not understand? I have to use a lot of money here.

Therefore, there is no mistake in being careful, and some American consortia naturally do not control information as well as Stefan, a person who has been prepared for a long time. Stefan has already got enough information in his hands, and now there are about a dozen investment companies active in the European futures trading market, and these dozen or so investment companies are all well-known, and can be said to be the first-class leaders on Wall Street.

Don't think that these investment companies are doing big things. As long as it is something that can make money, they will do it, such as this kind of thing that can obviously make money. It would be foolish for them not to do it. So these people bought long period is actually very early, before the US government announced it to the outside world, they began to buy more, until now the price of a barrel of crude oil has risen by about $2, 1 lot is $2,000.

Although they don't use a lot of money, the most is probably billions of dollars. The small is only a few hundred million dollars, but in the calculation, even if it is a profit of 2,000 US dollars per lot, their consortiums will make a profit of at least close to 200 million. The more is already as much as 560 million US dollars, and now someone suddenly comes out to buy short, isn't it obvious that they are grabbing food in their mouths? The old Rockefeller's choice was not wrong, but the old Rockefeller did not put all his energy into it, and before he figured out the strength of the opponent, it was obvious that the most important thing was to retain his own strength.

However, the old Rockefeller also saw that it is not just his family who is buying more now, and someone will soon follow, and the funds invested by the other party are estimated to be billions of dollars, which can be eaten casually for a consortium of them, not to mention downloading at least a dozen such well-funded consortiums, such as hedge funds like Soros, maybe they don't have a lot of money in their investment companies, but because they are famous, once they publicly use the company's account to do something, It's easy to attract the vast majority of followers.

Although in the futures market, strong capitalists can often influence the direction of the futures market, but the most powerful force in the futures market is always the dense retail investors, these retail investors gathered funds are not any consortium can eat, even if several consortiums are united, as long as these retail investors concentrate on the volume, several large consortiums can not be their opponents.

And now Soros is standing with him, so the old Rockefeller is not in a hurry at all, and the 10 billion empty order probably lasted less than a day, and it was swallowed up directly. Looking at the empty bills on the computer screen that were eaten in large sums of money, Stefan sneered, you eat, and when you swallow all this, you will find that it is too late for you to vomit.

Stefan's short order makes many retail investors a little wait-and-see, the futures market is different from the stock market, its response is relatively slow, and the influence of large consortia is also a little stronger than the stock market, people who play futures can lose much worse than playing stocks, so people who play futures should be cautious, if not very sure, few people like buying stocks directly gambling into it.

Of course, it is not nothing, but seeing that such a large short order was eaten almost in a short period of time, these retail investors immediately followed suit, and now there are fewer people who buy short, so the price of crude oil immediately began to rise slowly. "In units of $1 billion, as long as our short orders are eaten, we will directly continue to buy short." Stefan sneered, and then spoke directly to his trader.

What Stefan has to do now is to start buying unhurriedly, although the funds are not much each time, but if the other party wants to maintain his profit, he must eat Stefan's funds, but if he wants to eat all of Stefan's funds, judging from the fact that these consortia have not raised funds in advance, they must have at least four consortia combined to be able to eat so much money.

Even if some retail investors are added, at least the liquidity of more than three large consortia will be consumed, when they eat up all of Stefan's funds, if the crude oil is still going to rise, then Stefan is faced with a choice, if he can't add margin, then he will be forced to close the position by the exchange. Because your margin is paid according to a certain percentage, for example, if you buy a short position of 1000 lots at the price of 10 lots, then you need to pay 2% of the margin, which is 200 USD.

When the price of this item rises to $20 per lot, your margin will not be enough to maintain a short position of 1,000 lots, and if you want to remain short for 1,000 lots, then you will need to pay another $200 margin. If you can't pay the $200 margin, then you will be forced to close 500 lots by the exchange, leaving only 500 short positions for you, and you will naturally lose money.

And now what Stefan has to do is to let these people raise the price of crude oil, if they want to make Stefan's capital lose more than half, that is, they want to share the spoils of 50 billion US dollars, it is estimated that the current crude oil price will be raised by at least 10 US dollars and 1 barrel to make Stefan lose so much.

If they want to continue to eat up the money in Stefan's hands, then they must continue to raise the price of crude oil, and they will pull the price of crude oil far higher, and the more it will fall when the time comes. So Stefan is not in a hurry. A short order of 1 billion US dollars, as long as the empty order is bought, and then it will be shot again, although it is said that several accounts are used, but soon Stefan's details were found out by the other party.

It's not very difficult for these big conglomerates to hide their own information, "The Covant family? What is this for, did they have a blank sheet before? But didn't they investigate our information? If investigated, how can the Covant family think they can stop the current trend? After getting the news of his assistant's return, the old Rockefeller immediately frowned and pondered, this thing is strange, although the price of crude oil has risen a lot, but if the Stefan family closes the position, it will not lose much money, that is, it will lose more than a billion dollars.

Moreover, if the Stefan family wants to bring the price of crude oil down, then it should be a large amount of short orders, such a small short order, of course, $1 billion is not a small scale, but compared to the previous scale is not much, such a scale of investment, can not affect those retail investors, if there are no retail investors to follow them, they will sooner or later collapse.

So the old Rockefeller was a little puzzled. But if you can't figure it out, you can't do it now, you can't give up your own interests, but the old Rockefeller also kept an eye on it, and didn't let his subordinates invest too much money, anyway, there are several other families in this market, so let them invest money to raise the price of crude oil.

However, what the old Rockefeller didn't expect was that the Covant family was really dead-eyed, and on the 11th day of the United States launched a strike on Syria, the situation in the Middle East suddenly became more chaotic, and Iran suddenly announced the closure of several domestic crude oil exports to increase its country's strategic crude oil reserves.

This Iranian policy is like suddenly stabbing a hornet's nest in the Middle East, and the already tense Middle East immediately becomes even more tense. (To be continued......)
