486. Apple
As a person who has come over, because he is not a professional in the financial industry, Li Yifan is really not particularly clear about the future direction of the Shijie financial industry, especially the subdivision within the industry.
However, there are several major events that affect the international financial industry, and he still remembers it very clearly, one of which is the continuous depreciation of the dollar in the next ten years.
In order to stimulate exports and strengthen the international competitiveness of domestic products, the US government took the opportunity of the 911 incident to depreciate the dollar in a big way, and in the next few years, the dollar will depreciate by one-third in a row.
At the same time, with the help of the war in Afghanistan and the second Iraq war, they showed their strength everywhere, while the dollar depreciated, they also maintained the authority of the dollar in the whole shijie, and by attacking and occupying Iraq, they firmly linked the dollar and oil, and continued to maintain the role of the dollar as a shijie currency.
Because of the continuous depreciation of the dollar, it also caused the price of gold to continue to rise, and in 2004, gold climbed to a 20-year historical high, reaching a price of more than 500 US dollars an ounce, and then because of the victory in the Iraq war, it fell back, but in the end it did not fall to the bottom.
Later, with the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States, the Federal Reserve continued to pour water, like a financial crisis in the whole Shijie, which led to a sharp rise in gold prices.
By the time Li Yifan was reborn, the price of gold had even climbed to more than $1,300, although the Americans later took the lead in suppressing gold again, but because of uncertainty about the future economic development. and the sluggishness of economic development within the Shijie. The price of gold remains at a high level of around $1,000. There isn't much to go down.
Therefore, Li Yifan suggested that Heidi should hold gold for a long time while shorting the dollar.
After these speculative actions, Heidi also has unusual trust in Li Yifan's words, especially his judgment of the future economic trend, although there are still blood-sucking flaws in some places, but after all, Li Yifan's grasp of the generous xiangshang is still quite accurate. This made Heidi more firmly trust Li Yifan's words.
"I don't know if your family is in South Africa, but if you really want to get involved in gold production, Australia is also a good choice, after all, it is also a famous gold producer. And compared with South Africa, where the investment environment is better, but where the government and business community are a little conservative, if you want to open up the situation there, it depends on your ability. ”
Seeing that Heidi seemed to be a little moved by what he said, Li Yifan hurriedly said to Heidi. With Heidi's character, if you want to meddle with gold. That must be a big move, but on the South African side, the good places have been occupied, if you forcibly intervene, the cost is relatively high, and the second is afraid that it will cause disputes, but it is easier for Australia to start.
Although the Australian government and local business community are relatively conservative, their ability to resist in the face of strong foreign capital is still limited, and in the next few years, the main energy of Australians is focused on iron ore, and the mining of their other mineral resources, on the contrary, has taken advantage of the muffled fortune, and has not attracted much attention from the outside world.
It wasn't until Wall Street began to crack down on gold on a large scale, and Australians began to stand up and complain, that people suddenly discovered that Australia had unknowingly become the second largest gold producer and exporter.
"And what about these funds of yours? Is it all used to buy the shares of those arms dealers? Although your judgment is indeed good, but the arms dealer's stock, which is usually only effective during the war, does not perform very well at other times? For example, Boeing, their stock price has fallen a lot in the past two years because of the competition from Airbus......"
Heidi figured out her own affairs, turned her head and began to care about Li Yifan again.
"Hehe, no, of course I don't buy all of their shares, just take out a part of them to buy their shares, in fact, I'm more concerned about the situation on the NASDAQ side......"
Whether it is the New York Stock Exchange in New York, the futures trading market in Chicago, or the NASDAQ in New York, these three markets can be said to be in hell and looking up to heaven.
In particular, the Nasdaq, a stock trading market specializing in the Internet and emerging electronics industries, was the most damaged market in the 911 incident.
Not only because of the impact of the terrorist attack, which led to a large number of external funds fleeing, thus bursting the bubble, but even more unfortunate is that even his headquarters was not spared in this terrorist attack, because it was close to the collapsed twin towers, so even the headquarters of NASDAQ was implicated and collapsed.
After the opening of the major stock index futures markets in the United States, the most severely affected, the most severe decline in various data is the NASDAQ market, out of those bubble junk stocks, and even some stocks of Haode companies that originally performed well have been affected by the decline in the broader market.
For example, Microsoft, Oracle, etc., such large companies have caused the stock price to fall because of the factors of the broader market.
Because of the bursting of the NASDAQ Internet bubble, more investors have lost confidence in the future of these electronic technology companies, and in recent times, hundreds of billions of funds have been fleeing from the NASDAQ market every day, which has caused the market to continue to decline.
Just when others chose to flee in panic, or hold on to the currency, Li Yifan chose to go to this market to pan for gold during this time period.
Because he knows that in fact, there is no better time to enter the market than this time period, because of the panic psychology of some customers, they will sell the shares of certain high-performing stocks, and this time is of course the most suitable to take over, because if you wait until the Americans ease, and the performance of these high-performing companies continues to be good, then it will be difficult for you to buy their shares in the market.
After all, when that time comes, everyone is not stupid, that stock is a potential stock, and it will be very valuable in the future, and everyone can see it very clearly, so people generally will not easily sell and release the stocks in their hands.
Even if you can get a little bit of other people's stocks in the market, but because you miss the best time to start, the cost is too high, if you start at a high level, it is difficult to say whether you can make money at that time.
As the saying goes, people abandon me and take it, so in Li Yifan's opinion, this time period is the best time to start.
And the stock he valued was the stock of the famous Apple Company, which was later more expensive than gold, or even more expensive than gold.
In fact, at this time, there are still many electronic technology stocks with huge potential in the U.S. market, such as Google, which has been clamoring more violently recently, and is clamoring to be listed, but Li Yifan still resolutely chose Apple.
As a person who has been before, he knows how scary Apple's future development is, and now it seems that Google is a big market hit, and in the next few years, they will develop really well.
But when the smoke on Google's side dissipated, people discovered that there was such a giant hidden behind Google, and this giant was Apple.
When everyone's attention was attracted by Google, this company, relying on the helm of the legend, is quietly developing and growing itself, just before Li Yifan was reborn, the stock market value of this company has surpassed ExxonMobil and become the company with the highest market value on Shijie, there is no one!
In this 911 incident, the original development of good haode Apple, the company has also become an innocent victim, the stock price because of the market, also affected the front face, there has been a serious decline in the situation, many foreign investors, because of the uncertainty of the security of the United States domestic market, at this time choose to withdraw funds, choose to wait and see for a period of time to hedge, and this gave Li Yifan a most haode opportunity to enter the market.
You must know that before this terrorist incident, because of the popularity of the NASDAQ and the good performance of Apple in the market in recent years, the price of their company's shares in the market has been very strong.
You must know that in 1997, Apple was on the verge of bankruptcy, and if it weren't for Microsoft's more than $100 million capital injection and the return of Steve Jobs, this company would have become history.
But it is precisely because of the return of Jobs, which has brought glory to the company again, when Jobs returned, Apple's entire market value has approached the lowest limit in history, and it is only more than four hundred million dollars, but after his return, the reorganization of Apple's business policy has been adjusted, especially the launch of the new product I-MAC, after being welcomed by the market, in just a few years, their company's stock price has increased about tenfold. Now the market capitalization of the entire market is about more than four billion dollars.
And now that so many people are selling Apple stocks, this is certainly the right time for Apple and some well-intentioned people.
Now Apple's price per share in the market has fallen to more than $60, which is very different from his high price of more than $100, but even so, there are still many people rushing to sell their Apple shares...... (To be continued......)
