Chapter 416 Wishful Thinking

In the United States on the other side of the ocean, on March 13, the front page of the Wall Street Journal was a man living in the land where President Kennedy and Jacqueline made love, the owner of Bill’s Barbershop in Dennis Township, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, who was nearly 60 years old. Barber William Flynn.

He is a technology stock fanatic, and he always posts the relevant information sorted out on the bulletin board in the store, thus attracting many like-minded people, making his barber shop the most lively investment forum in Cape Cod, many People come to him to pay ten dollars for a haircut and exchange information by the way.

Just like the domestic frenzy of investing in the stock market in 2008, when the aunts danced in the square, they were also exchanging stock trading experience.

At this time, the United States was equally fanatical, and even shoe-shine boys on the street became investment masters.

Thanks to the frenzy of Internet and high-tech company stocks driven by Netscape’s listing in 1995, these retail investors who have neither investment experience nor reliable information channels rely on their own judgment and street news to follow the trend. Invest in the stocks of technology companies, but fools have fools, and most people get handsome returns.

For example, Flynn, the founder of the forum, has invested in a retirement fund as high as 834,000 US dollars. Such a small person has appeared on the front page of the most influential newspaper in the United States because of his experience. The best embodiment of the advocated "American Dream".

If there is regret medicine, if there is a time shuttle, Feng Yiping thought, those senior editors on the front page of the Wall Street Journal, if they can predict these things that will happen on the 13th, they will definitely not put this person on the front page.

On the day when the Internet bubble burst, the headlines on the front page were promoting a person who profited from the bubble, advocating the bright future of the Internet industry. This is exactly what Bao Zhuoyuan has been worrying about these days. part.

Hong Kong is a place where entertainment comes first. When many people are paying attention to the turmoil in the US technology stocks, the headlines of many newspapers in this city on Tuesday are still "Feng Feilian", which was disclosed last weekend.

Just the next day, the two protagonists had a public event. The man attended a press conference, and the woman was going to Japan to receive an award. When asked by reporters, the man denied it, but the woman avoided talking about it. However, other people present proved that The fact that the two of them "face-to-face" that night.

In fact, it is also understandable that everyone is enthusiastic about this matter. If this golden boy who is the same age as Feng Yiping falls in love with a beautiful girl of the same age, it is considered news, but he must not be with someone who is 11 years older than him. It's the sensation caused by the recent round of divas' love affairs, love between young and old, always more eye-catching.

The so-called experts and professors who pay attention to this issue on the paper media, TV, and Internet of this day are all emphasizing that this is just a self-adjustment after the stock market reaches a high level, and there is no need to do too much interpretation.

What Feng Yiping hates the most is these people. They may have finished or are dealing with related investments, but they are still talking nonsense here. There is only one reason. If a large number of retail investors also sell with them, where can they find the next successor? ?

Later, a series of measures were introduced for celebrity endorsements. Feng Yiping felt that what was more urgent and necessary than rectifying celebrity endorsements was to rectify these big-mouthed brick-and-mortar beasts.

Especially in the Mainland, TV and formally published serious publications still have quite an authoritative position in the eyes of the common people. As we all know, there must be exaggeration in it, but those in various columns The eloquent talkers are called beasts, because of the authority of the platform, their words will really affect many people, and the cost of this influence is not comparable to those who have the motivation to buy after seeing the advertisement.

However, the experts are talking nonsense, fooling some of the general public, and those institutions have their own judgments, and they will not listen to their advocacy. As the institutions continue to sell, many retail investors also start to sell from the sidelines. After all, everyone knows that action, Always more convincing than words.

Public opinion, public opinion, and confidence are very vague words most of the time, and they are also excuses used by some experts, professors and politicians to whitewash and find reasons for themselves.

However, at certain times, these things seem to be quantifiable, such as confidence. In the stock market, confidence can be realized as a purchase order or a sale order, amounting to tens of billions of dollars, and finally aggregated and reflected in the stock market index.

At the end of last year, the Internet giant whose market value surpassed the sum of the three major U.S. auto companies, and not only the market value of more than 100 billion U.S. dollars, but also hardware manufacturers such as Cisco, which specializes in the production of network equipment. , as well as software producers, consulting companies, hosting manufacturers, hosting providers, advertising companies, etc... .

In this "global village" era brought about by the popularization and development of the Internet, at least one thing is true. The connection between various industries is indeed closer than before. If there is a problem in one place, there will be a domino-like effect. .

For example, if an Internet company succeeds in its IPO on NASDAQ, if it raises 100 million US dollars, at least 5 million will be used to hire a consulting company, 10 million will be invested in Yahoo or AOL for advertising, and 5 million will be invested in software provision. There are also several million used to buy hardware such as computers and hosting.

Internet companies are cold, and these affiliated companies will naturally catch a cold.

Therefore, on the 14th, some experts and professors dared to say that this is the adjustment of the stock market itself, which is normal, but on the 15th, no one dared to say so, that is, some people called beasts who received benefits from affiliated companies , If you still don’t change your nature, you dare to say that, and the TV station doesn’t dare to broadcast it.

Because the market opened at 9:30 in the morning, investors from all walks of life who lost confidence rushed to sell various high-tech and related stocks. When the market closed at 4:00 pm, the Nasdaq Composite Index was fixed at 4180 points.

In just three days, it lost almost 900 points compared to the highest point last weekend!

It's great to make money like this, especially if you make money like this, it's really great!

Although Feng Yiping doesn't like to drink red wine, let alone understands red wine, but when he knew the result on the 16th of BJ time, he still pretended to be thirteen and ordered a bottle to celebrate. Otherwise, he couldn't express his excitement and excitement.

Although Huang Jingping doesn't know much about these things, she is happy as long as Feng Yiping is happy, "Are we going to stay here for a few more days? Don't we go to the magazine for a few days?"

"There's no need to go to the magazine, Lao Bao knows what to do. We'll stay at least until next week. Apart from this matter, we also need to prepare for investment companies in the next few days,"

Although the dot-com bubble this time did not last long, it will not end until next year. Feng Yiping remembers that at this time next year, the Nasdaq will finally fall to a low point of just over 1,000 points. People help him keep an eye on it. In addition, the price of oil in the international market has soared this year, and there are many opportunities in it.

In addition, according to his arrangement and division of labor, the financial and investment departments that provide capital flow to other fields are the ones that need to be strengthened most, and now it is time to implement this plan.

Regarding this Internet bubble, there is actually a very contradictory point, that is, although judging by today’s standards, these Internet companies all have big bubbles and their values ​​are seriously overestimated, but they have survived this round of crisis Looking at their current stock prices based on their development ten years later, they are not overvalued in the eyes, but seriously undervalued.

Therefore, Feng Yiping's wishful thinking is to take advantage of this round of market to make some money, and then use the money earned from them to buy their stocks when the stock prices of these companies fall to the bottom next year.

Such a thing, speaking of it, seemed really unreasonable, but he was really happy to do it.

Jin Ling walked very lightly today. Although she didn't ask Feng Yiping, based on the situation of the past two days, her favorite Ferrari shouldn't be a big problem, so when she received Feng Yiping's call, her attitude was quite correct.

However, what Feng Yiping said made her a little upset, "Sister Jin, I think you have to change your travel plan. This summer vacation, you should not go to France!"
