The beginning of 1970 was very similar to the late spring of 1929. In both periods, the United States showed signs of economic recession or even full-blown depression. The Republican Party had just been in power for about a year and did not know how to deal with its best friends and the Republican Party.

The main political clientele is the business community.

In both periods, second-tier stocks suffered precipitous declines, a sort of hidden crash because the popular stock indexes failed to reveal it. In both periods, speculative sentiment continued to rise, while money experienced a historic tightening. The government continued to

On the one hand, it is trying to suppress speculation and inflation, and on the other hand, it is trying to lead the economy out of recession. The Federal Reserve Board is frantically using various monetary policy tools, but with little success.

But fortunately, it's the Cold War now, and speculators still retain some sense. If the U.S. economy had a collapse like it did in the 1930s, the Soviets would probably laugh to death.

In a sense, what saved the United States was the Soviet Union, which was wielding its claws and teeth.

Speaking of which, the economic situation in the United States has become somewhat less optimistic since 1969, and now, the U.S. stock market is gradually facing its final collapse.

Of course, Catherine had never cared about stocks before.

The reason why she is paying attention to the stock market now is entirely because of the advice Soros gave to his clients.

A short-selling stock index.

Short selling, also known as short selling, refers to the transaction of selling all the stocks held by an investor (or borrowing stocks from the investor's account) with the hope of buying the stock at a lower price in the future.

Commonly known as buying and selling.

This plot often appears in various financial novels.

Various domineering and leaky protagonists use 5% leverage and use 5 yuan as 100 yuan to make huge profits in the market. The funds can be easily compounded into profits, reaching billions, tens of billions or even thousands.

100 million,………,

This kind of painful thing is listed, but it will naturally not happen in reality.

Once someone is shorting the stock index on a large scale, those traders must know what may be wrong.

In a real situation, those domineering and leaky protagonists would be beaten to death by financiers, and then thrown into prison for financial breach of contract...

So Catherine paid little attention to the stock market.

But this time Soros recommended this "financial management" product to Catherine, which made Catherine's heart flutter again.

If it were Catherine herself, she would never touch this market.

But if it is a financial giant like Soros, then it is a different story.

In fact, what Catherine was thinking at this time was whether Soros was preparing to change his goals because he really couldn't handle oil?

Soros was very successful. Although Catherine had malicious imagination in her heart, her eyes were indeed set on the stock market.

Fortunately, Catherine also has some financial knowledge... Because after coming to this world, Catherine always wanted to be like the protagonists who flipped tens of billions and made hundreds of billions, but after a little research on finance, she

Then I discovered that the truth contained in this is simply more difficult to understand than the semiconductors in integrated circuits...

There is no doubt that the current U.S. stock market is losing its mind. Although Catherine is not an expert, Catherine knows history.

The general trend of history will not change...

The collapse of the U.S. stock market is inevitable.

However, because the Bretton Woods system has collapsed, Catherine feels that the development of things is likely to be somewhat different from that in history. "Are you sure you can make a fortune in the stock market?"

Catherine looked at Soros who came to the door in person, and she hesitated.

History is unreliable, and everything must be carried out according to the current situation.

"Yes, I'm sure. The U.S. economy is now on the edge of a cliff, and the stock market will collapse soon. Either this month or next month, and no later than July, our stock market will completely collapse.

collapse."

Why are you so happy when your story collapses?

...Well, talking about "one's own" with capitalists and financiers is just a cloud. "Then what are you going to do?" Catherine then asked.

"In a nutshell, it's short selling stocks," Soros replied.

The way to make money from short selling is different from ordinary stock buying.

For example, suppose the current market price of the stock is 120 yuan. Catherine believes that the stock price will soon fall to 110 yuan. At this time, Catherine short sells 1,000 shares of the stock at 120 yuan, so that her account will be credited with 120,000 yuan and earn interest. 3.

Days later, if the stock price drops to 110 yuan, Catherine can buy back 1,000 shares from the market for $110,000 and then return the shares to the broker. In this way, Catherine will make money.

"You are not the only client I receive, but as my largest client at present, I still want to tell you how huge the profits are in the U.S. stock market this time."

Quantum Fund is now somewhat famous, but it has not been able to attract major clients for the time being. Unless Soros plays a beautiful battle like the one in history that defeated the British rankings, it will be possible to become a blockbuster. The current ones are also a bit too young, and they are very young.

It is difficult to win the trust of Dazhao Capital.

"How profitable are they?" Catherine asked.

"A return rate of over 50%...is this enough?"

"50%? Are you sure?"

In this way, my two billion will become three billion. "Of course, and this is the most conservative estimate."

Catherine, who was already shaken, felt even more impatient this time.

"Uh...are you sure?"

"We have a contract."

Now Catherine was even more excited.

"Perhaps you should tell me your plan in detail, whether it is from the perspective of a customer or an equity owner."

"Yes. The current Vietnam War is in a stalemate. Although the Nixon government has promised the people to withdraw troops, this is impossible in the near future, at least within the next two years. Although this war has made some people rich

Soros took a look at Catherine. The profits of the mercenary company are very high, and then he continued: "But for the vast majority of Americans, ordinary people in the United States, this is bad news. People are worried about everyone."

The current lack of economic confidence is first reflected in the stock market."

Catherine nodded, what Soros said made sense.

"Here's my analysis of some of those economic conditions."

A document was placed on Catherine's desk.

"Moreover, since the collapse of the Bretton Woods system, the concept of U.S. economic supremacy has been shattered, which will further undermine people's self-confidence. At this time, as long as the U.S. stock market pushes behind... everything will be over."

"Yeah" Catherine was already convinced and she turned to Elsa.

"It seems that the plan to go to Japan should be postponed..."

Catherine shook her head.

On March 15, 1970, Japan officially held the World Expo.

This exposition with the theme of "Human Progress and Coordination" was attended by 10 countries and international organizations. As of the end of September, there were as many as 64,218,770 visitors.

Since it is such a grand event, Catherine will not miss it. In fact, companies such as Apple, Ontee, and American Telecom all have booths at the Expo.

Computer technology is the ancestor and foundation of all high technologies in the future. Without Catherine's computer, no one would be able to play!

Even the Pentagon can take a break at that time!

But it's a pity that Catherine doesn't have the extraterrestrial time to go to Japan now.

After handing over 2 billion in funds to Soros, Catherine was actually a little uneasy.

Although Catherine will speculate when there is a history, more often than not, Catherine feels that she should be a "steady and steady" type.

The layout of the Internet began several years ago, but it was not until this year that the project was put on the agenda and began to be truly developed.

When the future is uncertain, Catherine is unwilling to take risks unless she has sufficient capital to allow her to make continuous mistakes.

But these more than 2 billion in funds are even higher than the market value of her own company. Catherine will certainly be uneasy if she hands them over like this.

It’s just that the 50% rate of return is too impressive. Plus, it’s Soros who made the promise to herself, so Catherine is still a little lucky.

Besides, the general trend of the world is there after all. The economic recession in the United States is inevitable. Even if it will lose money, Catherine feels that about 10% is about the same. Of course, even 10% is enough to make Catherine feel distressed for a while.

You know, if these 2 billion U.S. dollars were put into the century, it would be equivalent to 12 billion!

(After I make money here and invest, I will use all the funds to strengthen my company...)

Catherine has quietly made such a plan.

Once you encounter finance, you will have a gambler's mentality. If you win, you still want to win, and if you lose, you want to make money back. Once you are a few percent sure, you want to risk your life. Catherine is not used to playing such a difficult game.

.

Therefore, after making a profit in the oil market, which was bound to make money, Catherine was ready to leave the market... and could no longer play.

…Of course, it doesn’t mean that we will stop playing. There will be another oil crisis in 1979.

…,

If history remains unchanged, the 1985 "Plaza" agreement can also make money. Similar to this kind of market, Catherine is not going to let it go. "Oh, by the way, I wonder if you are interested in this."

An invitation was placed on Catherine's table.

"What's this?"

"It has nothing to do with work, just an invitation between friends."

"Environmental protection?" Catherine glanced at the invitation suspiciously.

No way?

Is Soros really interested in environmental protection?@.
