My Age of Investment

After spending another half day at the First Securities branch, Xia Jingxing said goodbye and left after completing all the formalities and understanding the operation.

"Brother, if you have any questions about stocks, please call me at any time."

Liu Hai politely sent Xia Jingxing to the door, and finally did not forget to ask.

Xia Jingxing nodded with a smile, and waved his back to Liu Hai, leaving a handsome back.

It was not until Xia Jingxing's figure was blurred that Liu Hai clenched his fists and shouted "Yeah", happily like a child, incomparable to the second.

Passers-by gave him a few glances.

…………

After Xia Jingxing took the subway to the train and returned to school, he turned on his computer and checked NetEase's stock price.

There are very few buy and sell orders, and the stock price is still stagnant, with a small fluctuation around $1.4.

Xia Jingxing's stock account has not been opened yet, and it will take two working days.

But he is not in a hurry at this time, good things are not busy.

After two days of waiting, his stock investment account was finally opened.

He transferred $35,000 to the stock account, leaving only $2,000 for living expenses during this time.

Then, according to the operation, he borrowed 35,000 US dollars from the brokerage, a total of 70,000 US dollars, and officially entered the stock market.

There is no concept of "hand" in US stock trading, and the minimum trading unit is 1 share.

Xia Jingxing spent the $70,000 in his hands and bought a total of 48,275 shares of NetEase, with an average position price of $1.45.

NetEase's stock price was also boosted by this large purchase order, briefly breaking the $1.50 mark.

However, due to the lack of follow-up positive news support, it quickly fell back.

Xia Jingxing checked his personal trading account on the First Securities website, and there were two risk control values ​​on it, one intraday risk control value and one overnight risk control value.

The intraday risk control value is also called residual liquidity, which is equal to the total assets minus the margin, which can almost be regarded as "real money".

According to the rules:

If the daily risk control value/total assets is less than 10%, it indicates a risk;

Less than 5% indicates a serious risk;

If it is less than 0, it will trigger forced liquidation.

The overnight risk control value has one more variable. Today's cash change value is mainly caused by changes in deposits and withdrawals.

At present, the daily risk control value of Xia Jingxing's securities account is about 35,000 US dollars, and the value of intraday risk control value/total assets is about 50%.

After finishing these operations, Xia Jingxing threw the securities account aside and did not have time to keep an eye on the market, because that would be nothing but self-inflicted harassment.

"Brother, what stocks did you buy? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Since the separation a week ago, Xia Jingxing has not contacted his account manager Liu Hai.

Xia Jingxing could do this, but Liu Hai didn't dare to be so ignorant.

Although this little brother from mainland China is not a big customer, but one-time investment of $70,000 in stocks makes Liu Hai feel the need to improve their relationship with each other.

So he took the initiative to call Xia Jingxing, ready to express his concern and condolences.

"Oh, it's Manager Liu!"

Xia Jingxing said with a smile, "What stocks did I buy, don't you know?"

Liu Hai was stunned on the other end of the phone, what does this mean? I do not have permission to look at the customer's transaction records.

He quickly explained, "Brother, don't get me wrong, we are a regular company and will never check customers' accounts casually.

Of course, because you open a margin account, the risk control department can view your account, but it will absolutely keep the privacy of every customer confidential and ensure that it will not be leaked. "

Xia Jingxing was not afraid that the other party would check his account, it would be fine as long as he didn't touch it.

He is not particularly clear about foreign securities companies.

However, the boss of the domestic brokerage business department, risk control, and customer service can all see the customer's trading account.

Xia Jingxing skipped the topic and said, "I have already traded, and I don't need any help.

I would like to thank Manager Liu for his kindness here. I will find you if I need it. "

Liu Hai smiled and said, "That's fine, just say hello if you have something to do, you're welcome.

We are all brothers and sisters and should help each other. "

"Yes, Manager Liu is right."

"Don't call me Manager Liu, you can call me William or Lao Liu."

"Old Liu is afraid of calling you old, can Xiao Liu do it?"

"Uh...how do you call yourself comfortable?"

Seeing that Xia Jingxing didn't want to say what stocks he bought, Liu Hai was also interested and didn't inquire.

Liu Hai was particularly able to chat, seeing that Xia Jingxing didn't want to talk about stocks, he recommended tourist attractions to Xia Jingxing, and invited Xia Jingxing to Chinatown in San Francisco.

He was so enthusiastic that Xia Jingxing couldn't resist. I responded casually, made a pretence, and quickly hung up the phone.

Xia Jingxing was lying on the bed in a very happy mood.

After working so hard for so long, I finally got it done.

After drinking this soup from Netease, I have a foundation for doing anything in the future.

In the words of the second sentence of the sentence, this is called "the foundation of success".

…………

…………

There was still more than half a month before the start of school. Xia Jingxing, who was so idle, simply took out his computer, typed in the code, and started designing a website for international students to make friends and share their lives.

The days of being a coder are boring and extremely boring.

Xia Jingxing spent the rest of the time in the dormitory writing code, except for running every morning and going to the cafeteria to eat.

In addition, he finally remembered that his non-mainstream long hair was a little annoying.

When I came to the school's barber shop, I randomly chose a hairdresser named Tony, and cut his hair into an inch, and the whole person looked sunny and handsome.

With the start of school approaching, the number of students at Stanford is gradually increasing.

On this day, Xia Jingxing had lunch and was walking on the tree-lined path. From time to time, he saw students of different skin colors passing by pushing suitcases.

Whites still dominate, and the rest are blacks and other people of color.

There are still many people of the yellow race, and most of them are Chinese.

Chinese students account for almost a quarter of international students, and about 5% of the total student body at the university.

Xia Jingxing put his hands in his trouser pockets and returned to the dormitory humming a song.

"Hi Darren, long time no see."

Xia Jingxing went to the door of the dormitory and bumped into Christina, a foreign girl who was also returning to the dormitory, who was greeting him.

"Yeah, we haven't seen each other for almost a week."

Xia Jingxing smiled. Although he was a neighbor, strictly speaking, this was the second time he and Kristina had met.

Before, it was because I ran out of the securities market to open an account, and then it was because I was locked in the dormitory all day to develop a website.

"You have a nice hairstyle, very manly."

Noticing that Xia Jingxing cut the hairstyle that only a young man deserves, Yang Niu praised.

"thanks!"

Xia Jingxing stroked his hair, "I think so too."

"Ha ha!"

Yang Niu said with a hearty smile, "You are more confident, brighter and more humorous than any Chinese man I have come into contact with. I hope you will continue to do so."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Xia Jingxing to reply, Yang Niu quickly pushed the door into the house, and closed the door with a "bang", all in one go.

Xia Jingxing received a few compliments and was quite happy, and happily opened the dormitory door.

As soon as he entered the house, he realized something was wrong.
