Chapter 4 Actually, We Are Not Ordinary
The summer trading hours of US stocks are from 9:30 pm to 4:30 pm in China.
As soon as the market opened at 9:30 pm, the trading hall was in full swing.
"Do it! Dry it, fuck it to death..."
"It's going up! It's going up, don't stop, don't stop..."
"Fuck, I'll kill you, my grandson..."
After the U.S. stock market opened, the traders opposite were like they were injected with chicken blood. They were all extremely excited and exuded fragrance. Some slammed the table wildly, some sweared, and some called their grandson.
That scene made the group of newcomers who had just entered the company stunned.
Are these people really the traders who looked extremely lazy before?
Why are they all like wolves and tigers after the opening, and they are like fighting against others?
The manager and the risk control girl are not surprised by this kind of scene.
Any soldier who can make money is a good soldier.
Haven't you seen the trading halls on Wall Street in TV and movies, and it's not much different from the vegetable market.
A very real trading scenario, without being immersive, it is difficult to understand the mood of a trader.
Every time the stock jumps, the US dollar is waving in front of you. What else is more exciting and exciting than this?
Many newcomers were infected and learned to take a photo of the table or yell from time to time!
It's a bit funny, but it's very real.
This kind of scene is absolutely impossible to experience in other companies.
"Damn, this is the atmosphere that trading should have. It's so sour and refreshing!"
Wei Ran was in it, his blood was burning, and he wanted to kill all directions.
"What a long-lost familiar feeling."
Li Yue is not surprised by this kind of scene, and even misses it a little.
This may be the passionate youth.
When these people are tired of yelling, they will naturally calm down.
In fact, they will be particularly excited and will be much calmer after only half an hour of opening.
Li Yue is not in a hurry to trade, but just familiar with stock trading software first.
Professional US stock software is a bit complicated. There are several different ordering channels at the same price, and there are many choices. Some channels can even earn handling fees by placing orders. This is unimaginable in China.
There is no handling fee for transactions, and the securities company will pay you money. Can you imagine this?
Some traders even rely on frequent transactions to earn handling fees.
After setting up shortcut keys, you can trade quickly with one click, which is very convenient.
After getting familiar with the software again, Li Yue kept switching to various different stocks and checking their k-line charts in recent times.
These stocks include wfc (Wells Fargo, Lao Bart's heavy holdings), xom (Mobil), gs (Goldman Sachs), nok (Nokia), amd (those who know computer accessories should know what stock this is), pfc, f, c...
Because the newcomer's authority is too low, he only has a loss of $20, so he only looks at more and does less. He will only trade occasionally if he recognizes the opportunity.
Moreover, after making money by brushing orders on stocks with small fluctuations, they will only go to those high-priced stocks with large fluctuations.
There is no way, even if you only earn 100 shares and just jump on those high-priced stocks, you may just lose your position and only have a profit margin.
"Damn, I shorted GS and liquidated my position!"
Suddenly, Eunuch Wei's scream came from beside him.
What should have happened or not.
"Awesome, you are a real warrior. You dare to play gs. Just jump this stock and you can beat you up."
Li Yue gave Wei Ran a thumbs up, he didn't dare to enter GS yet.
"I...I just tried to put a short order, but who knew that it was immediately traded, and then the position was directly breached in less than three seconds."
Wei Ran cried and said, "I won't be eliminated just like this, I want to continue playing with the US stock market and become a trader!"
"Now I know I'm afraid, so I advise you to be more at ease and take my words as a breeze?"
Li Yue said lightly.
He was actually not very angry. He had known that Eunuch Wei had such a disaster.
"Brother Li, Brother Yue, I was wrong. Please help me think of a solution and see how to remedy it. I don't want to be eliminated like this."
Wei Ran cried and said, his face as if dead.
He didn't expect that he would lose his position on the first day.
The U.S. stock trading career is about to end before it begins, and he is really unwilling to accept it.
"Let's go downstairs and have a drink and have a good chat."
Li Yue said, and stood up.
It is not impossible to ask Wei Ran to stay. He would not watch Wei Ran be eliminated after years of friendship.
I was originally just accompanying Eunuch Wei to apply for a US stock trader, which was a playful nature.
As a result, Wei Ran was eliminated and he stayed. Even if he finally made money, it was quite boring.
It’s like Weizai accompanied Xingzai to apply for a job at the TV station, but Xingzai was eliminated and Weizai stayed.
The key is that Li Yue believes that Wei Ran still has certain talent for stocks, but he is not mature enough and has no expert guidance.
Soon, the two of them went downstairs to a beer bar located on the first floor.
This beer bar mainly sells beer, and the cabinet is filled with beer from all over the world, with a wide range of colors.
The bar also plays soothing music, suitable for casual chat.
"Damn, there is such a beer bar downstairs of the company, with many beers, various white beers, dark beers, Belgian beers, German beers, and many brands I don't even know."
Entering the beer bar, Wei Ran glanced at the rows of wine cabinets in front of him and couldn't help but praise him.
Moreover, the environment is not noisy or chaotic, and there is also a pool table in the beer bar, so you can play snooker.
If you are not eliminated today, you can go down and sit and relax when you rest during the day.
pity……
When Wei Ran thought of being eliminated, he couldn't laugh again.
"Two bottles 1664."
Li Yue ordered two bottles of white beer at the bar, then turned around and said to Fatty Wei, "You pay for the wine!"
"I mean nothing!"
Wei Ran had no ink traces and paid the wine very readily.
Both of them were manly, so they didn't want a wine glass, so they started drinking in front of the bottle.
"Tell me, if you are eliminated today, what are your plans? Looking for a job or continuing to trade stocks?"
Li Yue took a sip of white beer and asked.
"You know mine, I don't have much talent in computers, I'm not as good as you, I got the offer from Tencent early."
Wei Ran gave himself a sip of beer and said, "It is impossible to find a job, and I can't afford to work as a programmer. If I were eliminated by a US stock company today, I would trade stocks full-time and play in the domestic market. Now it is a big bull market, and I would have wanted to do a big deal."
"Can you stop trading stocks?"
Li Yue also took a sip of wine, and then stared at Wei Ran with a knife-like look.
No one knows how difficult it is to trade professional stocks, and no one knows better than him.
Moreover, he knew that his brother was indeed trading stocks full-time.
In this unprecedented bull market, he did make money. He bought his first car in his life in a few months and made money that ordinary people could not make for several years. It was a glorious moment.
However, after the bull market, he was in a mess. In the end, he not only lost all the money he had made before, but also lost a house at home.
Finally, he was wandering and somehow he even went to Africa.
Li Yue, who had personally experienced bankruptcy, knew what kind of painful experience it was.
He really didn't want to see this good brother who had been playing together and experience this kind of pain.
Professional stock trading is a path of no return. Those who can become a big shot from a young age are all geniuses in a single place, and few of them are smooth sailing. Almost all of them are struggling several times on the verge of bankruptcy before they realize the truth, break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly, and finally make a name for themselves and soar into the sky!
Has anyone succeeded?
The answer is, there is!
But, very few!
"No! Brother Yue, you know, my idol is the leader, and my dream is wealth freedom! It is too difficult for children from ordinary families like us to achieve wealth freedom, so we can only give it a try! I know this road is very difficult, but someone has already succeeded, right? I want to fight and don't regret this life!"
Wei Ran put down the bottle and showed a serious expression.
At this moment, Li Yue saw in his eyes firmness and determination, as well as an ordinary person's persistence in dreams and his struggle for ordinary life.
Yes, it is too difficult for ordinary people to achieve financial freedom. If you don’t take a try, you will not even have any hope. You may be calm all your life, but you will also be destined to be mediocre and become the most popular.
"Not to be ordinary, wealth freedom..."
