Chapter 357 358 Media attention (Thanks to all readers, thanks to all friends who rewarded monthly and recommended tickets)

There are overwhelming news reports on rice stocks from the outside world. Originally, rice stocks are still very far away from most ordinary people in the world.

In the eyes of most people, stocks, especially stocks such as rice stocks, except for the United States and its surrounding countries and some countries in Europe, are things played by rich people. The loss is a mess, how can I dare to expect a market like rice stocks.

However, as some economically developed countries have entered or are about to enter an aging society one after another, the attention of the media has invariably turned to pensions.

After discovering the direction of media attention, some economists also began to check the relevant data. If you don’t see it, you don’t know it. When you see it, you are shocked. With the unstoppable pace of aging, pensions are really starting to make ends meet. era.

With the deepening of the research, the list of countries with weak foundations began to be released, and research reports began to be submitted to the desks of the heads of governments of various countries. Analyzed and predicted the birth situation, and finally came to an astonishing conclusion. After a few years or more than ten or 20 years, the pension received by the Security Bureau will be lower than the pension that needs to be paid now, and then calculate the future payment pressure And income projections concluded that a long, long time from now our pensions will bottom out and pension funds will exist in name only.

For these brick-and-mortars who have selflessly contributed to the society, they wrote at the end of the report with deep sorrow: the consequences of insufficient pension payment are very serious, not only detrimental to social stability, but also have serious and serious consequences for economic development. profound influence
The top leaders of various countries are busy with everything, and of course they don’t have time to read the full text of these research reports in detail. In fact, most people don’t know much about the calculation process of the data, but they will definitely pay attention to the final conclusion, but they can’t see it at a glance. It was shocking that the pension was out of money.

Welfare policies that have been launched for decades have always been important achievements touted by various countries, including not only pensions, but also welfare policies that benefit the general public such as medical care and unemployment, but pensions are undoubtedly the top priority Heavy.

These brick-and-mortar experts have indeed got the point. Insufficient pension payment affects society in all aspects. It is not only the pensioners who are affected, but also the young and middle-aged people who are paying pensions, especially the middle-aged group. , No one wants to pay a large sum of money after hard work, and have no money to take when he retires.

As a result, orders to the lower levels to study solutions were issued layer by layer, and the people below began to rack their brains to think about countermeasures, delaying the retirement age, increasing the payment ratio, and so on. Various plans were proposed.
High-level governments of various countries began to pay attention to thinking, and the media also obtained these analysis reports through various channels, so sensational reports began to spread widely in the society, whether it was a test of public opinion under the instigation of high-level governments, or plans to Through repeated fatigue tactics to lower the expectations of the public, in short, the topic of pensions has been frequently reported in the newspapers in the past two years.

At the beginning, the common people were still very concerned about the future of thousands of households, but after being repeatedly read in the newspapers, people gradually became less concerned. Although they were still very concerned, they were not as concerned as they were at the beginning. Worrying, the common people have a voice in their hearts: don't do it.

Although there are thousands of reasons, the final power is still in the hands of the senior leaders of the governments of various countries. However, with the media's in-depth reports, the common people know where their pensions have gone. Most of the money is from the Social Welfare Bureau. In addition to retaining a part of the pension that needs to be paid, it is handed over to fund companies or asset management companies for investment. The scope of these investments is also very wide, but most of them are still concentrated on government bonds found in various countries, because there are national credits as guarantees. , and the rest is the stock market.

The common people know that a lot of their retirement funds are in the stock market, so they can only hope that the stock market will go down all the way, so that pensions may earn the most money in the stock market, can the so-called pension be solved? Is it a crisis?

So ordinary people began to pay attention to the stock market. Although they did not pay attention to social news, the news about the rise and fall of the stock market has begun to go out of the circle. It is no longer the concern of stock investors. harvest.

I remember that some time ago, the newspapers reported the news of the crazy rise of the rice stock market in recent years, but when I opened the newspaper this morning, I saw the report of the high volatility of the rice stock market, followed by the words of many familiar experts and analysts. It is about to peak, and the rise cannot move. Rice stocks may end their years-long bull market and enter a bear market.

Of course, there are many rebuttals, but seeing this kind of news makes people sound insulated. If the stock market does not rise, will our pensions run out of the stock market?
Although a large number of ordinary people in society have never played stocks, they still know the basic operations of the stock market through TV and newspapers.

As the largest stock market in the world, rice stocks are issued by many large companies in the world. This is due to the developed banking industry in the United States, because the United States has relatively little supervision on capital flows, as long as the source is clear There are generally no restrictions on funds, and it is relatively convenient for funds to enter and exit the United States, so not only the rich, but funds from most countries in the world have more or less invested in the US stock market.

But at this moment, when rice stocks may be about to go bearish, what everyone thinks in their hearts is whether these funds have been withdrawn, and don't get stuck and cannot get out.

When Chen Fan and Zheng Xiaopang woke up, they opened the newspaper and saw reports about rice stocks, as well as doubts about the Huaguo Welfare and Security Bureau, whether our pensions have been returned.
After eating lunch, Chen Fan and Zheng Xiaopang sat in the tea room and flipped through the newspapers. They frowned when they saw the news headlines. Of course, there were also reports from the mainstream domestic newspapers on Miguo, but they were all ranked third, fourth, or third. The [-]th and [-]th pages have gone, and the headlines are of course normal, but it is just to report on the global stock market in the financial page and focus on the next rice stock trend, and then quote the analysis reports of some stock analysts.

However, some domestic second-, third-, and fourth-rate newspapers directly put eye-catching headlines on the front page, hoping to attract attention and promote newspaper sales.

"Our Pensions Are Fucked! ! ! ", "Rice stocks end the bull market, pensions may be in vain", "Rice stocks bull-bear battle".
Zheng Xiaopang was surprised at first, then pointed to a newspaper front page news and said with a smile: "What's the matter with Luzi in the bull-bear struggle? It's so fucking nonsense."

Chen Fan also shook his head with a smile, because he didn't want to talk about the relationship between bulls, bears and deer with Zheng Xiaopang, "What is the purpose of the media exaggerating the facts?"

Zheng Xiaopang looked up at Chen Fan suspiciously, "What do you mean, there are people behind these reports? Isn't it just to promote sales and grab attention? Don't be conspiratorial, I don't think there is any problem anyway, but It’s just a deception.”

"Maybe I'm nervous." Chen Fan nodded and didn't want to continue this topic, but he also lost interest in the newspapers, and they all wrote something special.

While TV and newspapers from various countries were discussing the future trend of rice stocks, and famous analysts and experts were discussing and analyzing the later evolution of the rice stock market in the programs, the price of rice stocks on Thursday still came as scheduled.

This evening, Chen Fan and Zheng Xiaopang arrived relatively early. Although they didn't see anyone from the intelligence room all afternoon, they came here after 8 o'clock. First, they went to the intelligence room next to the trading room to ask. situation, see if there is any breaking news.

As a result, of course nothing happened, that is to say, no event with a huge impact happened. The stock market is full of trivial news every day. Listed companies are releasing all kinds of business data briefings every day. The future business plan involves Feasibility study reports, board meeting resolutions, news of so-called sudden fires, earthquakes, fish fry running away, etc., and of course good news such as the signing of large contracts.

And the major securities companies release research and analysis reports on listed companies or some industries in the society, forecasts of company stock prices, and new IPO plans. Of course, these IPO plans are released together with companies that plan to go public. Who wants to make money? , sponsors, underwriters, etc., all of which have to be deducted from the entry fees paid by shareholders.

Chen Fan and Zheng Xiaopang don't look at these things as a matter of course. These things are what the traders below want to see. The list of stocks allocated to them is to let them keep an eye on the allocated stocks. When they see bad news, they think it may affect the stock price. It was only reported to the team leader when it had a major impact, and then passed on to Chen Fan and the others, who finally made a decision on whether to stay or not.

In the past six months, it seems that I have never encountered such a thing. Since the partnership, except for some accidents in Netscape, other investments have been very successful so far.

Seeing that there was nothing worth paying attention to, Chen Fan and Zheng Xiaopang turned around and went into their own trading room next door, turned on their computers and started surfing the Internet to pass the time. After all, the futures market is not open at this time, and the two of them are not planning to trade foreign exchange or gold for the time being. Get distracted and do two.

But soon, the futures index market opened, but the trend after the opening made Chen Fan look stern. The three major index futures all showed a downward trend. I don’t know if it was affected by media reports. The trend has quickly transitioned from extreme optimism to pessimism, and investors in the index futures market have also felt this coolness, and more and more people are beginning to be bearish on the future trend of the market. Time is up.

"It's not good." Zheng Xiaopang felt a headache when he saw that the Nasdaq futures fell slightly after the market opened. Although the decline was not large, the three major index futures were all in a downward trend.

You must understand that capital in the stock market is very important, but it is very difficult to call the wind and rain simply by relying on the main force of the market.

The main players in the market must have no money to sweep away all the floating chips in the market, even if they sell everything they want, they can't do it.

Even if they can do it, they can't do that, because it's boring, the stocks are all in their own hands, and whoever makes the money, they have to hand over the stocks to others in order to be considered retired.

If it is handed over to others, someone needs to pay to buy stocks, but now the public seems to be less and less optimistic about the stock market. If the public’s perception affects investors in the stock market, everyone will be bearish. There is no way to go against the trend, because the risk is too great, once the stock falls into the hands
Zheng Xiaopang's mind is full of thinking about these things. He is a little worried that the market will change completely, and that will be troublesome.

After hearing Zheng Xiaopang's words, Chen Fan generally understood what he meant, but he didn't think so. Although according to logic, most investors are bearish on the stock market due to social influence, and they may gradually fade out of the market. The pressure will be very high.

But capital is profit-seeking. As long as the market can be pulled up before the market sentiment collapses, as long as the market can be stabilized, there will be no major problems.

Thinking of this, Chen Fan just cheerfully said to Zheng Xiaopang: "What's wrong, isn't that big crocodile in the market just waiting for this time? Everyone is not optimistic, the most unstable floating chips in the market are It will come out, these people are not firm, and they must be the first to leave the market, which shows that they have a good way of playing the market, and they are good at this game."

"Maybe, next week at the latest, the market must close a big positive line, otherwise the market is likely to be guided by social trends, and it will be hopeless by then." Zheng Xiaopang nodded, but his words also revealed a strong concerns.

Chen Fan just smiled and shook his head when he heard this, he didn't know what to say, "Wait until the stock market opens, and I don't know how the main market players plan to trade today under the current social atmosphere. Hit it up with your backhand."

"Look at the futures index, today is not very optimistic." Zheng Xiaopang shook his head and said absent-mindedly.

"Don't have confidence in me?" Chen Fan saw that Zheng Xiaopang's state was a bit wrong, so he had to use his trump card to deal with him.

"That's impossible. Everything you say will come true. You are a stock god. You can't say what you say." Zheng Xiaopang said with a smile suddenly, as if all the worries just now were swept away.

The two chatted casually for a while, and the index futures kept falling repeatedly. Although they didn't fall much, they just didn't intend to start a rebound. They seemed to be waiting for the stock market to open.

Before they knew it, the time for the stock market to open was approaching, and Chen Fan and Zheng Xiaopang also ended their nonsense and began to stare at the opening point of the Nasdaq.
