Chapter 994 Black Monday

Pioneer Finance Company sent five people to help Lin Johnson train personnel. These foreigners were obviously more professional than Hong Kong people. This also made the students suddenly nervous. The operating commands were all in English, which made some people gradually show the gap.

After spending more than ten days nervously, August 25th arrived. As Lin Johnson said, the US Dow Jones Index ushered in a historic high of 2710 points. Just when the market was looking forward to the peak again, the US stock market suddenly dropped, and the market was shocked. The securities institutions had no time to react, and the stock market kept falling. In early September, the Dow Jones Index fell to around 2550 points.

Afterwards, the US stock market ushered in a small peak, returning to 2600 points, and then began to vent again on September 10th, like a sob little woman. By September 20th, it fell below 2500 points, and then began to rise rapidly, almost returning to 2600 points. In early October, the Dow Jones Industrial Average came to around 2620 points, and it was obvious that the market was already in short supply.

At this time, Wall Street has begun to gain some understanding, and some shrewd analysts have made predictions that the US stock market may have reached another cycle since World War II. For example, Duze Fund has begun to be cautious, quietly concentrating funds, and is dormant and ready to take action at any time.

At this time, John Berg gradually believed that perhaps the US stock market was about to usher in another downward trend. As Johnson Lin said, he once again gave an accurate prediction.

However, like many Wall Street people, John doesn't know how far the decline will be, and whether it will be as serious as Johnson Lin predicted.

Well, the wheel of fate rolls forward, and any mantis arm acts to behave in a car is overestimating one's own ability.

When the S&P 500 index began to fall on Friday, October 16, Lin Johnson knew that his opportunity had come. Next Monday was October 19, which coincided with his memories of his previous life. This is the famous "Black Monday"!

He immediately asked Lin Zhen to short all the funds in his hands, and sold a large number of short orders to the market before the close of Friday.

The market has performed poorly recently, which has greatly impacted the confidence of investors. The stock market crash in 1987 was not a sudden one. The market has already warned people. Many analysts have also made a conclusion that the US stock market will suffer serious setbacks, but most people do not realize that the danger is coming so quickly!

Sure enough, the stock market fell sharply on Monday, October 19th, and then plunged directly. An important force was eager to leave the market, joined the wave of selling, and gave the market a heavy blow, portfolio insurance (similar to rest and safe insurance, pension funds), they sold a large number of stocks to the market, like fish in the net, and were rushing to jump back into the water.

Black Monday was crazy, at 9:10 in the morning, the opening bell rang, and the Dow Jones index had already fallen by 67 points from the beginning of the screen, and the selling orders came like waves.

Less than an hour after opening, the index had fallen by 104 points. Due to the large number of instructions, the calculation shows that it is lagging behind actual trading for 20 minutes. From the opening to 11 points, the Dow Jones Index fell sharply, at 2:00 pm, down 250 points. Two hours later, the Dow Jones Stock Index fell by 508 points, from point to point, a drop of 22.6%, and a loss of US$503 billion in market value.

On that day, in Chicago's S&P 500 futures market, the selling pressure was even worse. The contract plummeted 80.75 points in December and closed at 201.5 points, a drop of 28.6%.

Lin Johnson kept watching it fall to the bottom, with the same plans as him, and speculators shorted on Friday all won the Grand Slam, and many people have already started celebrating in advance.

Later, Lin Zhen suddenly received the news and hurriedly walked into Lin Johnson's office: "Boss, the bond market is rising!"

When Lin Qiang-Chengsheng heard the news, he immediately left his mouse and stood up and shouted: "Hurry, let go of all the funds in the bond market, buy positions, and buy them all!"

Lin Zhen nodded and immediately shouted to everyone in the hall: "Buy a bond position!"

"Sister, do you buy them all?" someone asked.

Lin Zhen waved his hand: "Buy all, buy as much as you can!"

Before, Lin Johnson had discussed today's actions with her, but Lin Zhen really saw that the stock market really plunged as the boss predicted, which added her strong confidence. Since she had made a profit in short selling in the US stock market, the next step is to follow the plan and it is time to buy a bond position.

Lin Johnson once analyzed for her that in order to cope with this collapse, the Federal Reserve will definitely inject funds into banks to calm the anxiety of the market and thus reduce the borrowing costs.

If the Fed does, as he expected, the bond market will rise, and if the Fed does not take any action, it will have no reason to fall. And when the bond market rises, it can be used as a signal that the US government has really injected capital into banks.

Lin Zhen stood in the center of the hall with his chest in his arms, patrolling back and forth, staring at the movements of the traders. After more than two months of intense training, five people were eliminated, and the remaining 29 people were elites.

At this time, they were operating nearly $1 billion in capital and bought the largest bond position in the market

It can only be said that Johnson-Johnson made a lot of profits that day and the following days, and his two-pronged operation also made him the winner of the biggest profit in the US stock market crash. This action brought him a return rate of up to 200%.

Of course, he is not the only winner, for example, Jones's Duze Fund is also one of them, but Jones only earned a fraction of Lin Johnson's

There are also some traders in a luxurious villa in Santa Clara, California, and seven or eight people, but these are all young women, and several of them are dressed very little.

In another big room, Lin Johnson enjoyed the massage of a beautiful woman while watching the generous TV, a financial program being reported.

At this time, the US stock market was panicked. The worst stock market crash since World War II broke out. Americans didn't know what was going on. They were beaten to the point of turning around. Why did the economy fail at once? The stocks of major companies plummeted by more than 20%, especially the stocks of GM, Chrysler and Ford plummeted. The American people who bought these industrial stocks were cheated.

"Lingling"

The phone rang, and Lin Johnson answered it. It turned out that it was Lin Zhen's call. She said anxiously in the microphone: "Boss, the person we bought at Duze Fund has been exposed. Paul Jones came to provoke an insult to the crime in person!"

"Oh? He's right there with you?"

Lin Zhen looked at Paul Jones standing around in the hall, and two tall bodyguards at the door, and whispered to the microphone: "Yes, what should we do? Do we need to call the police?"

Lin Johnson laughed, patted the plump buttocks of the beauty beside him, and then watched her walk out of the room swayingly, and said, "What are you panic? Let him answer the phone."

Lin Zhen said to Paul Jones: "Mr. Jones, our boss's phone number!"

Jones looked at the Asian woman, took the phone and asked directly, "Who are you?"

Lin Johnson laughed and said, "Mr. Jones, my surname is Lin. There is an English name called Johnson, but you probably don't know this name very well, so I don't use it often."

Before he could finish his words, Paul Jones said: "You are Johnson Lin. You made a fortune in the gold market in 1980. Later, you founded Dongxing Electronics in Silicon Valley, mainly producing computer products and chips, mobile phones, and also the company's Compaq and Dell, as well as Cisco, which is now famous!"

Lin Johnson was surprised: "You know me very well!"

Jones looked at the Asian woman in front of him and said, "I guessed that no boss in the United States likes to use Chinese people so much."

"Haha, so that's the case. Why did you get to me?" Lin Johnson suddenly realized that indeed, Chinese employees in his company in the United States do account for the majority. This is no secret in the United States. Indian executives like to use Indian employees, while black executives like to use black employees.

Paul Jones was a little annoyed, but he still held back and said, "You have bribed a trader in my company. This is a serious violation of me and my company. I can completely sue you!"

Lin Johnson stopped his smile: "Mr. Jones, I am very optimistic about your ability in the financial market, so I used some improper means to get your investment plan. I admit this, and I sincerely apologize to you!"

Paul Jones didn't want to make things worse. Hearing Lin Johnson apologized to him decisively, he was a little unsure. He thought for a while and said, "Mr. Lin, you have made a lot of profits in the US stock market and bond market this time. I hope we won't have any misunderstandings in the future. You know, multiple friends are better than multiple opponents!"

Lin Johnson smiled again: "Yes, it's better to be friends than to be enemies."

Paul Jones didn't want to pursue Johnson Lin and bribe his subordinates, so he said: "Barron's magazine held a symposium in New York. I invite you to attend. I hope you can be there and we can have a good exchange."

Lin Johnson asked curiously: "What topic to discuss?"

"Japanese stock market!"

"Okay, I'll go."

"The conference was held on the afternoon of the 26th at the Times Square Hotel in New York."

Paul Jones is a trend follower and likes to plan and then act. He is very good at listening to other people's opinions. When his opinions and the market are in harmony, he will decisively stop his actions. When he meets an investor who is better than himself, he will observe the other person's actions.

Although Lin Johnson did not make much move in the financial market, he also studied this investor and knew that Lin Johnson had almost never failed. Therefore, this invitation was a disguised friendship. Lin Johnson did not have the intention to be an enemy of him, and the two hit it off. (To be continued.)
