Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 34 The beginning of shorting

In a blink of an eye, another day passed.

Today, Carter woke up early on purpose. After finishing his breakfast hastily, he came to Kidder's company at [-]:[-].To Carter's surprise, Julian came earlier than himself.

After the two met in Julian's office, there was a moment of awkwardness.
"Morning, why are you here so early?"

"I should ask you this question, right? I arrive at the company at eight o'clock every day, not just today."

Julian looked at Carter angrily and amusedly. He guessed that Carter might come earlier today, but he didn't expect it to be so early.

"Are you really so nervous? There is still an hour before the opening. Didn't we communicate with each other before the plan?"

"The plan belongs to the plan. How can you not be worried if you really poured millions into it? I'm not like you, I hold hundreds of millions of funds in my hand every day. Small businesses, afraid of risks, in case something goes wrong , but it will be beyond redemption~"

"Hehe, you really think highly of me. If I want to control the flow of hundreds of millions of funds, will I still be here?"

"Oh? Are you trying to change jobs?"

"To be precise, it's not job-hopping. It's boring to work for others all the time. I've worked for more than [-] years. It's a lie to say that I don't want to be my own boss. But this is all in the future, so let's do it well first." Do it now. Don’t worry, I’ll watch the market for you.”

After chatting awkwardly for a while, the two got busy with their own affairs.In addition to Carter, Julian has other clients to be responsible for, but Carter is rather boring now. Fortunately, the most important thing in Julian's office is financial books.

Regardless of how much you can understand, it is also a good choice to pass the time.It was so hard until the opening of the exchange, and the short-selling action against Vickers and several other companies officially started.

Carter thought this would be a vigorous financial battle, but found that he seemed to be thinking too much.Ten minutes after the market opened, the first batch of 6000 shares were thrown into the market, and they were sold out in less than half an hour.

Low-priced stocks at $3.42 a share are not many.It can be said that there was not even a splash, and it was as easy as when I borrowed shares before.

After another half hour, another [-] shares of the second batch of Vickers shares were thrown up.It was still half an hour, no, this time it didn't even take half an hour, and it was sold out.

As time goes by, the trading volume on the New York Stock Exchange is also increasing rapidly.These 0.02 shares were also like a stone sinking into the sea, without any waves.However, with the increase in trading volume, the stock price was temporarily pushed up a little bit, although it was only [-] US dollars.
"See? Are you relieved now?"

When the previous [-] shares were sold out, Julian looked at Carter with a smile.While making coffee, he joked:
"Today we plan to sell about 4 to 6 shares, and there won't be too many in the first few days. Basically, there is no problem. You don't need to use it at all. On the trading day next week, we will slowly sell the shares in our hands. After about half, we will make efforts to lower the stock price. At that time, the transaction speed will not be too fast, and the timing of closing the hand also requires us to keep an eye on it and act at any time."

Julian took a sip of the freshly brewed coffee and concluded:

"As for now, you can go and play wherever you want, just like the previous two days!"

"I'll just wait and see."

Although it was extremely boring, it was related to whether he would be a young model in the clubhouse or go to work in the sea in the future. Carter had to hold back even if he was bored.And this suffocation lasted until three o'clock in the afternoon, and when the New York Stock Exchange closed, Carter couldn't bear to leave.

Due to the fact that the New York Stock Exchange does not close at noon, Carter did not eat lunch until this meeting.He found a random restaurant nearby, and Carter summed up the harvest of the day while eating.

In addition to the 3.5 shares sold by Vickers, the other three also sold more than [-] shares in total.It can be regarded as clearing one-twentieth of his inventory, and the average selling price is around [-] US dollars, but this will not be considered a profit at all.

Selling stocks is only the first step. How much you can earn depends on how much the last big sell-off can bring down the stock price.In addition, I am afraid that I just read the book for a day and enriched my mind.

It's hard to say how much it has really enriched, anyway, Carter has been so enriched for a while.Finally, the time came for the next round of trading days. Up to now, about half of the shares in Carter's hands have been sold. Currently, he still has 30 tradable shares of Vickers, and the remaining three companies each have about 20 shares. About 90 shares.And the share capital sold before has also accumulated to about 420 million in Julian's account.
Success or failure, in one fell swoop!
"Are you ready? It's [-]:[-] in the morning, one of the times when the New York Stock Exchange has the largest trading volume, and it's also the most suitable time to exert strength."

Julian looked at the nervous Carter, his expression was still calm.As if what I was about to do was to go to the supermarket to sell a cabbage.
"Well, let's get started! List all the shares in our hands!"

Bounty winning streak will eventually be paid.Now, it's time for the bounty hunter Carter to collect the vegetables. If the harvest is successful, everyone is happy. If the harvest fails, the old eighth will leave.
After obtaining Carter's authorization, Julian immediately contacted the traders on the exchange and listed all the stocks in Carter's stock account for sale.

Stocks on the New York Stock Exchange use one hundred shares as one lot, and the minimum unit for trading is also one lot.Therefore, the largest Vickers company, [-] shares, that is, [-] lots, does not sound like a lot, but when these [-] lots of stocks were listed, it immediately attracted the attention of the market.

"Hey! Burke, something big happened! You bought Vickers stock two days ago, right?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Oh my god, how much of my old brother did you buy? Hurry up and come to the exchange. Three thousand shares of Vickers have just been sold off. I'm afraid the one in your hand is about to fall!"

"What? Three thousand lots or three thousand shares?? Fake, are you kidding me? It went up yesterday, so let's not talk about it. I'll be right there! I just bought twenty lots!"

Similar conversations spread wildly in the exchange, and soon, the people from Vickers also noticed the abnormality in the stock market.Vickers' 220 million outstanding shares accounted for 30% of the company's total share capital.And 13 shares accounted for 5.2% of the outstanding shares, that is to say, someone has now sold a full [-]% of the company's shares.

This is no small matter! If the 5.2% of the shares are taken by other shareholders, I am afraid that they will immediately turn back to the customers.After hearing the news, Duba Vickers, the chairman of Vickers Company, scolded his mother in anger in the office, and urgently recruited the company's finances, thinking about whether the company's cash could save the situation.
Just when Vickers and the retail investors were stunned by this move, the rest of the financial institutions who smelled it, or simply the heads of financial institutions who had known that Kiddell was going to do something, showed meaningful smiles:
"Go! Turn on the fire and list the stock of Vickers in our hands! No, wait, don't worry, wait an hour to see the situation first, from now on, keep an eye on Vickers at all times Stock movements."
