Super Dimension Technology Era

Chapter 19 Between Fluctuations

In early August this year, the incompetence of the US Congress reached its peak. The Donkey Party and the Elephant Party were almost unable to reach an agreement on the debt ceiling issue before the deadline.

The important monthly employment report on August 5 is about to be released, and investor sentiment is very nervous. Many economists predict that the possibility of a second recession in the U.S. economy has increased significantly.

Huang Mingzhe sharpened his skills and prepared seven million U.S. dollars. After opening his Hong Kong stock account, he used his maximum authority to activate six times leverage, leveraging more than 42 million U.S. dollars.

Shorting the Dow Jones Index, the Dow Jones Index closed down about 2% on August 2, and Huang Mingzhe reaped a profit of about 800,000.

The next day, August 4, the U.S. debt ceiling crisis intensified. On that day, the Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted 512 points, or 4.3%.

The drop of more than 4% means that August 4 was the heaviest loss day for the US stock market since the 2008 financial crisis.

Of course, a crisis must contain opportunities. Like a poisonous snake hiding in the darkness, Huang Mingzhe once again accurately shorted the Dow Jones Index and made a profit of 1.84 million.

In just three days, Huang Mingzhe accumulated his own capital to 9.6 million. With six times leverage, he could leverage more than 57 million in funds.

Bad news strikes again.

On the evening of August 5, S\u0026P announced that it would lower the AAA sovereign rating of the United States, and the thriller officially began.

After brewing on Saturday and Sunday, the Dow Jones Index plummeted as soon as it opened on Monday, August 8. The Dow Jones Index fell 635 points that day, a drop of 5.6%.

In fact, before the rice stocks opened on August 8, the global market was already plummeting, and investors' fear reached its peak.

Not only did the Dow Jones Index plummet, the S\u0026P 500 Index fell 6.7% on August 8, and the Nasdaq Composite Index fell 6.9%.

Some people even lose their pants, while others are harvesting wealth like crazy. The stock market is a zero-sum game, with one thought of heaven and one thought of hell.

However, many people may not have thought that this was just the prelude to the crazy market in the following weeks.

Huang Mingzhe looked at his Hong Kong stock account with a smile. At this time, his principal had accumulated to 13.24 million, which could leverage more than 79 million funds. He once again invested the funds in the stock market, but this time he chose to go long on the Dow Jones Index.

The next day, August 9, the Federal Reserve was the savior of rice stocks. On that day, the Federal Reserve announced that it would maintain an ultra-low interest rate policy until mid-2013 in order to promote a faster economic recovery.

The Dow rose 430 points that day, an increase of 4%.

Unfortunately, investor euphoria dissipated quickly thereafter.

Standard \u0026 Poor's downgrades of the United States' ratings have not ended, and incidents in Western Europe have arisen again. The debt crisis of Western countries has escalated, and the risk that Western countries' ratings may be downgraded has increased.

On August 10, the Bank of the United States held a reassuring investor meeting, but investors' concerns about the health of the banking industry and the economic prospects of the entire country continued unabated.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 520 points that day, or 4.6%.

And this roller coaster-like fluctuation is still going on, with the Dow's points changing by more than 400 points again in just one week.

The just-announced number of people filing for unemployment benefits in early August fell below the 400,000 mark for the first time in four months. Nervous investors seemed to have found a life-saving straw. On August 11, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 423 points. 3.9%.

However, Huang Mingzhe once again did not go long on the Dow Jones Index, and now he is long on multiple stocks. He is directly long on the technology giant Cisco. Since Cisco also released positive performance expectations that day, Cisco, a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, rose 16%.

For more than a week after that, the stock market fluctuated little. After Huang Mingzhe rested for a few days, he went long international gold on August 15.

the other side.

HSBC also cleared the contract entrusted by Huang Mingzhe when the international gold price exceeded US$1,800 per unit.

On August 23, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) reported that the health of the U.S. banking industry was improving.

The number of failed banks fell for the first time in nearly five years, with the number of problem financial institutions falling from 888 to 865.

Investors (leeks) who had suffered many setbacks began to turn cautiously optimistic. The Dow rose 322 points that day, an increase of 3.3%.

After Huang Mingzhe completed this multiple order, there was 64.36 million in his account, in US dollars.

HSBC branch on the second floor of The Peninsula Paris.

Wu Kezhi made tea for Huang Mingzhe with a smile on his face: "Mr. Huang, we have completed the delivery of your order. After deducting the handling fee, all the funds have been transferred to your bank account in Xiangjiang."

"Then I'll bother Manager Wu." Huang Mingzhe replied with a smile.

"Don't bother, it's all your duty." Wu Kezhi knew how much Huang Mingzhe had earned this time, and they were very well-connected within HSBC Bank.

In terms of London Gold alone, it made a profit of 200 million. In addition, in terms of rice stocks, it also gained more than 300 million, doubling its wealth in one fell swoop.

This kind of precise vision and courage may mean that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. If he had so much capital, he would definitely not dare to play such a big game.

However, Huang Mingzhe's operation also allowed Wu Kezhi to gain a generous business bonus. HSBC also gained a lot in handling fees, so everyone got something.

After Huang Mingzhe completed the delivery of the contract with HSBC, he returned to the small villa.

In the study room, the core of the ghost has been transferred and stored in the company's server, but just in case, a spare core is left hidden in Pengcheng's super center.

After several months of continuous improvement, Ghost has grown very fast, and today he added another system to Ghost's program.

This is the stock trading system he has debugged. The advantages of artificial intelligence stock trading are very great. If it is a domestic big A, it may be difficult to operate, but foreign stock markets have a relatively high degree of freedom. You can do long and short T+0 transactions, and big data supports it. The artificial intelligence under it can instantly kill most traders.

Especially in high-frequency trading, the response speed of artificial intelligence is definitely not something humans can compete with.

He withdrew 50 million U.S. dollars from his Hong Kong stock account, and gave the remaining more than 10 million U.S. dollars to the ghost for automatic operation. This was considered a small test, and he didn't care even if he lost money.

The funds that I can use now include 613.9 million yuan in HSBC and 50 million US dollars in the stock account. The remaining funds are 26.4 million in the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, 27.3 million in the company account, and 14.36 million US dollars in the stock market. knife.

The total assets are 1.07023 billion yuan, and the funds are more abundant, allowing him to go big.

Lingnan in August is even more humid and hot. After a thunder, the night rain suddenly hits.

There was a plate of red lychees on the table. Huang Mingzhe stood up and closed the window of the study. It was raining heavily outside. The sycamore trees next to the villa were beaten by the rain, like thousands of horses galloping across the earth.

Looking around in the dark and heavy rain, a few lights still guide the road ahead.

He turned around and continued to immerse himself in the papers. Things were so complicated that he always had the illusion that they would become more chaotic after being cut and sorted out. He was still too weak to withstand the wind and rain.

The pen wandered across the draft paper, and he wrote and drew while thinking.

He must go to school, and he must make good use of the platform of college; at the same time, the company cannot rely solely on himself to transfuse blood, and must let the thinking society form its own blood as soon as possible.

You also need to find ways to expand your influence. The reputation of a top scorer in the college entrance examination will soon be forgotten. After a few months, who will still remember who Huang Mingzhe is?

Maybe we can start preparing that plan, he put down his pen and thought silently.
