Chapter 124: Wall Street shot

The trend of Yahoo's stock is one of the things Dunn is most concerned about now.

Just like Scott Swift's prediction, Yahoo's stock price has been rising all the way, but the trading volume has not been high, maintaining around 20 million shares.

Until December 7th, Yahoo opened at $296, then skyrocketed by $30 within half an hour, exceeding the warning line of $300!

The Nasdaq exchange exploded instantly!

On this day alone, the trading volume of Yahoo's stock reached 260 million shares, creating the largest single-day trading volume in the history of Yahoo!

Yahoo's total share capital is only about 250 million shares, which shows that Yahoo's stock changed hands fiercely that day.

Such a huge trading volume must not be something that retail investors can make. Even a big investor like Tang En only holds 2.1 million shares.

It must have been Wall Street!

Dunn flew back to New York specially, paid close attention to this matter, and consulted Scott Swift about related matters.

Why is this so?

"At the end of last year, Yahoo's stock experienced a wave of abnormal beating, the stock price rose rapidly, and even reached $400, which is obviously very abnormal. Sure enough, the stock price lasted just two days at the peak, and then quickly Pulled back and fell back to the normal price of around $150.”

"The situation this year is exactly the same as last year. Yahoo's stock price has risen rapidly since November, breaking through the $200 mark, and soaring all the way. All major securities institutions and investment banks on Wall Street are cautious, because last year everyone has been affected once A lesson in greed."

"This time, they chose a conservative strategy, estimating that $300 is a peak, so securities institutions collectively sold stocks at the price of $300, which caused the huge trading volume on the day."

Scott Swift's understated remarks evade the complex and deceitful financial operations within securities institutions.

If Tang En realized something, "Since neither securities institutions nor investment banks believe that Yahoo's stock price can continue to be maintained above $300, then they...will definitely fight in the futures market, right?"

Scott glanced at Dunn in surprise and nodded, "Yes, the New York Mercantile Exchange... is very active recently."

Dunn laughed, "That's interesting. If Yahoo's stock continues to rise in the next month, they will be short... I don't know how much they will lose!"

Scott shook his head, "Dawn, financial institutions on Wall Street have very mature systems. Even if they believe that Yahoo will plummet, they will definitely avoid risks."

Dunn really didn't understand, "What do you mean?"

"Hedging." Scott knew that Dunn didn't know much about finance, so he explained it in simple terms. "To put it bluntly, it means to take out some funds to buy short, and at the same time continue to increase holdings of Yahoo stock. Then even if there are unexpected changes in the stock price in the future, It won't lose too much."

"Then if everything is to be expected, wouldn't it be a lot less profitable?" Tang En suddenly understood.

Scott laughed: "It's natural. The institutions of Wall Street ... are different from you. Your money belongs to you and you can gamble. But the structure of Wall Street relies on financing to obtain original capital, and managers work for shareholders. They don't dare to take too much risk."

"Haha." Tang En shook his head with a laugh, "It's like democracy and dictatorship. The former is good, but because of the huge pressure, he will definitely avoid risks and maintain stability. It's notorious, if you use it well... it's a name in the history!"

Scott couldn't keep up with Dunn's bizarre thoughts, and smiled in agreement, "Yeah, if we can really succeed this time... it will definitely be famous on Wall Street!"

"What I want is not a name, but money!"

Tang En glanced at him with a half-smile but not a smile.

Scott Swift immediately turned serious, "Of course! Don't worry, as long as your intuition... The prediction is accurate, I promise to give you ten times, or even dozens of times of profits!"

Tang En said: "Then I'll wait for your good news, keep an eye on it. Remember, you must not sell stocks without my order!"

…

In mid-December, the nominations for the 57th Golden Globe Awards were announced.

The North American box office exceeded 200 million and the global box office was 280 million US dollars, "Wedding Cracker" won two major nominations - Best Actor in a Musical Comedy and Best Actress in a Musical Comedy.

Two newcomers, Jude Law and Reese Witherspoon, have officially stepped onto the big stage of Hollywood stars.

Especially British actor Jude Law, who was nominated not only for "Wedding Cracker" but also for Best Supporting Actor for his wonderful performance in "The Genius Ripley."

However, it is not easy for the two of them to win the prize.

Reese Witherspoon's competition for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy category includes Julianne Moore, Julia Roberts, Sharon Stone, and Jenny McDill, all of whom have been well-known for years. actor.

Not to mention Jude Law. Although he has won two nominations, it is impossible for a foreign rookie to get on the red carpet for the first time and be popular with Americans.

Relatively speaking, the most likely winner of the awards that Dunn participated in will depend on the movie "Star Wars Episode 1: The Menace of Ghost Man" directed by himself!

The mega-movie, which grossed $570 million in North America and $1.1 billion worldwide, was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress nomination.

Queen Padmé Amidala, played by Natalie Portman, successfully conquered the hearts of the judges through her wonderful performance in the last 40 minutes, and stepped onto the stage of the Golden Globe Awards as an absolute commercial film.

This is also her first Golden Globe nomination.

However, compared with these three rookie actors, another foreign rookie director really occupied the Golden Globe Award.

Sam Mendes, the British director who is in charge of the post-production of "The Girl Who Moves the Soul" and directed "American Beauty"!

Once "American Beauty" was released, it received unanimous praise from film critics and filmmakers, and the Golden Globe Awards Selection Committee also approved the film through nominations.

He won a total of 6 nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor in a Drama, Best Actress in a Drama, Best Screenplay, and Best Score.

All of a sudden, "American Beauty" became famous!

At the same time, Sam Mendes' "Soul-Shifting Girl" has also become the focus of heated discussions and expectations from the media and movie fans.

After the Golden Globe nominations were announced, Dunn heard another good news.

Natalie got admission letters from Harvard and Yale with all A's!

At this time, Dunn was in New York, closely following the trend of Yahoo's stock, and participated in the Natalie family's internal party as a boyfriend that day.

It's a typical Jewish family, the style is... eccentric.

Natalie knew that Dunn was not used to it, so she pulled Dunn with a smug look on her face and looked at him with a smile, "What kind of major do you think I'm studying?"

"Didn't you apply for clinical psychology?"

"It can be changed. Besides, the first two years of the university are just some basic courses, and the second two years are the real professional courses." Natalie looked at Dunn with contempt.

Tang En scratched his head, UU reading www. uukanshu.com "I didn't go to university, but I support your choice."

"But..." Natalie paused and hesitated, "but I feel that clinical psychology is of little use to me and your future career."

"University is just an experience, Nat." Dunn hugged her gently, "I have everything to do with the development of your career, you don't need to worry, you just need to let your hobbies and make the choices you like."

"Oh."

Natalie nodded dumbly, then smiled, "Hey, what if your company goes bankrupt and I'm not popular again?"

Tang En smiled and said, "It's very simple, you open a clinic and make money to support me!"

"It's okay to raise you, but it's impossible to raise other women!" Natalie snorted softly.

Tang En rolled his eyes, "Ability and women have a normal distribution. Do you think I'm bankrupt and will there be women around me?"

"Yes, I have!"

"Who?"

"I!"
