The Goddess Shines on America

"So, we can calculate a very simple account."

Alice said: "My parents have had the habit of investing and managing money since they got married. They put part of their wages into the stock market every year. Before the age of seven, the rate of return of the whole family's stock trading was about 7%."

Leonard recorded seriously: "Seven percent is not a big number, so the big data you mean...?"

"There are gains and losses in the stock market. Earnings minus losses, twelve months multiplied by seven years and three hundred and sixty-five days, can still maintain a positive number in so many investment times. Hey, Miss Oliver, " Fortune magazine can make such a questionnaire, or simply ask people on Wall Street, as long as they do the math, they will understand that the total rate of return of hundreds of stock market investments is a positive number, and it is still 7%. What is this? concept."

Undoubtedly, the current topic is the Alice-Wang family's views on financial management, and Leonard carefully recorded this information. Because of the family environment, her daughter had the concept of investing in business at a very young age, so Alice officially entered the business world at the mere age of twelve. This is very valuable information!

"Thank you, Alice, but I also noticed that you said before the age of seven. In other words, when our genius girl was seven years old, she started helping her parents to trade stocks?"

This was a tentative question from Leonard, and Alice really nodded and said: "That's right, from the age of seven to twelve, with my help in making suggestions, the rate of return has directly increased from 7% to 100% Eleven out of 10. Eh... well, I know that many certificates can only be taken when I am older, but as far as knowledge is concerned, no one has stopped me from reading various financial books, right?"

It was shocking and anecdotal news. Leonor almost broke the precious pen and wrote down the symbol "11%" forcefully. She couldn't wait to ask: "Are all the data you said true? I mean That is to say, these are all calculated by you, what about the source of the data? Mr. Wang and Ms., please forgive my doubts, after all, what we are talking about now is going to be published in a magazine, if..."

"In terms of statistics, of course there are."

Sophie smiled and said, "Alice introduced me just now. As an accountant, I started professional investment and financial management when I first entered Harvard, and since then, I have raised I have become a habit of recording every transaction. If you really need it, I can indeed show you all the stock investment records from her birth to the age of twelve, do you want it?"

Then there is no need to ask, Leonard definitely has ten thousand reasons to need it!

"Thank you so much!"

It was a surprise, and she said to Sophie in surprise: "I have 12 years of personal stock trading records, and, and, and it is the type of stable and high returns... Ms. Wang, I would like to ask, do you have any experience?" Is there any plan for the book? I can let the professional editors of "Fortune" carefully review it, if it is... This is simply the best stock trading book for stockholders all over the country!"

Not to mention Leonard, even Carle, who is the photographer, became excited, and immediately turned around the sofa like a monkey. The flash flashed crazily and took countless close-ups of Sophie in an instant. !

Just kidding, he is also a full-time photography assistant hired by Fortune, and he has been working in this circle for many years. Accumulated 12 years, the record of stock trading with a yield of 7% to 11%, this kind of thing, who can not understand what it is?

"No problem, no problem at all."

The whole family was amused by their exaggerated reaction. Sophie waved her hand and gave an affirmative answer: "But let's talk about these things later. We are interviewing for Alice now, aren't we?"

After being excited, the topic returned again. Leonard calmed down the excitement in his heart and prepared to record again: "In other words, helping your parents stock market is your main achievement before you are twelve years old. Then, the most classic among them The battle example is..."

"In 1980, Apple went public. On the first day of listing, we bought 20,000 yuan of shares in it, and we also invested in a fixed amount every month after that. Now in general, although the recent stock price is unreasonably low, But also bring us... five million?"

"5,754,320 yuan, accumulated dividends as of last month."

Sophie explained: "However, due to the departure of Jobs, Apple's operating conditions and stock price are terrible, so we also sold a lot. Of course, there are also a lot of re-buys. After all, it is not a stock market crash. gone."

Leona's heart was pounding because she couldn't help being excited. From the first day of listing, he continued to buy Apple shares quantitatively, and made a net profit of nearly 6 million US dollars in seven years. This is simply a classic case of identifying potential stocks.

And she knew that the behavior of the Wang family was really universal. Just like Sophie explained before and after, buying 20,000 yuan of shares on the first day of listing, and then investing in a fixed amount every month, not being greedy or rash, even if you encounter a downturn, you just sell it appropriately. This is completely the case for any middle-class Something every class family can do!

"Ms. Wang, after this interview, please be sure to come to our Fortune headquarters!"

After the conversation was recorded, Leonard could already imagine how much performance he would receive when he returned to New York: "I believe that you and your investment record will definitely become the guests of our editorial department." !"

The total interview time lasted an hour and a half, which is not surprising, but at least 20 minutes of it was spent on Sophie, which was beyond everyone's expectations. Who would have thought that this reporter could jump directly from the question of "what did Alice do before she was twelve" to suggesting that Sophie should publish a book?

"It was so much fun!"

After seeing off the guests, Sophie said happily to the whole family after closing the door: "Guys, have you noticed the expression on that female reporter? It's like winning the Mark Six lottery, and I'm the one who recommended her to buy this number." !"

"Of course, if you find a private investment expert like you, she must have a performance bonus."

Alice smiled and gave her mother a hug, then winked and said, "Mom, are you going to compete with me for being a best-selling author? That's not very good~"

Sophie smiled and rubbed Alice's head: "Look at what you said, don't you want your mother to be a little famous? James, Oscar, Hannah, what do you think?"

The two children were smirking, and James touched his chin thoughtfully: "My daughter is a computer expert, but she became a best-selling author by writing novels. My wife is a lawyer and accountant, but she is also favored by the editor of "Fortune". I'm going to make investment notes into a book. Oh, what about me, a real professor of history? After all these years, I really haven't written any proud works."

"Wahhahahaha~ Dad, you are too unlucky~!"

Oscar could be considered to have picked up a laugh, and he laughed unceremoniously: "In the professional field, he was knocked down by our two female generals!"

Hannah just smirked, James was laughed at by his son, his old face sank, and he said unwillingly: "What are you talking about, my professional field is historical knowledge, Alice and your mother, one is novels, and the other is investment experience, what are you talking about? What professional conflict is there?"

Oscar just gloats, regardless of whether his joy is reasonable or not: "Then you write a best-selling historical novel, it's agreed, if it can be on the "New York Times" list, I won't play Super Mario for a month !"

This oath is remarkable. The whole family knows that this video game is Oscar's favorite game. Even basketball and football can't compare to the charm of this uncle plumber.

"A month?"

Hannah frowned suspiciously: "Oscar, why didn't you play this game one day? You were busy until half past ten last night, okay?"

"That's why I bet on it. Hey, dad, it's settled. If you can really write a best-selling historical novel, I really won't play it for a month!"

"Hey, then I really have to work hard."

James was so happy now: "Big guy, this is for Oscar to study hard. Starting tonight, no one will disturb me at night. Dad, I am going to write behind closed doors!"

"Then what have you decided to write?"

Alice, however, was a little overwhelmed: "Dad, your field of study is western cowboys, right? This kind of thing has been tossed countless times by countless American writers!"

"That's true, so what should we do?"

James also thought about it casually. If he really wanted to start writing, it would not be an easy task: "Alice, you have a lot of writing experience. You gave me an idea to write an orthodox history book that introduces cowboys. Or would historical fiction be better?"

"If you want me to say, don't talk about history."

Alice is also full of Alexander when choosing the subject matter for her father's book: "Believe me, if you were Stavrianos, what you want to write is "General History of the World". Shi is so unpopular...Dad, do you know how many students there are in your class?"

Seeing his daughter say this, James also blushed a little.

Admittedly, for many American teenagers, the history of American cowboys is an unpopular elective no matter how you look at it. If the absence rate of all courses in CULA is calculated, his course will definitely be among the best.

"Then I... write a cowboy novel seriously? That's fine, but what?"

Listening to Dad muttering to himself, a very beautiful classic movie suddenly popped up in Alice's head.

"Dad, maybe we could write a book together?"
