Can not doing what one wants be called rebirth?

Chapter 7 7. Guarding is the special role of a best friend
At 3:30 in the afternoon, Lu Jincheng opened the stock app on his mobile phone on time and took stock of the day's gains.

It doesn't matter how much he earns, what he cares most about is to use the stock market as a barometer to determine whether his world line has changed.

What if the bull market in the second half of the year disappears?
If the market remains sideways for even a few months, won’t my address book be leaked and I’ll become a Jiangcheng deadbeat?
Mr. Lu didn't take the debt of hundreds of thousands seriously, but with his identity as a deadbeat, normal girls would probably stay away from him.

"Well, +18%, the return is not bad."

"The stocks I picked are basically the ones I have some impression of. It seems that there is no change in the overall market."

In the empty dormitory, Lu Jincheng stared at the total assets of 59 yuan, put his feet on the table, and leaned back in his chair in a daze.

He invested 50 yuan in the market and kept 2 yuan as pocket money. After one trading day, the rising stocks brought him an 18% return and he earned 9 yuan.

If you calculate it this way, with compound interest added in about a week, it would be easy to clear your online loans and you could even make a small profit.

But this is the style of play that ordinary people adopt in order to play it safe, and it is not suitable at all for the strong and aggressive Mr. Lu.

Being able to determine the market trend, he is equivalent to the ancient Greek god in charge of ups and downs.

Can you predict the rise and fall of stocks with 100% accuracy? Can you achieve a 100-fold return in one year?
Small, the layout is small.

If you can predict stocks, you can predict stock indexes. After all, stock indexes are calculated based on a basket of stocks.

If you can predict the index, you can predict stock index futures.

If you can predict stock index futures, you can predict options contracts.

For main board stocks, the upper and lower boards, the limit is about 20%.

The maximum ceiling of the ChiNext and Science and Technology Innovation Board is 40%, which is a rare case.

The main reason is that these stocks are traded on a T+1 basis. Once bought, they cannot be sold on the same day, so the room for operation is really limited.

Stock index futures are different. They come with 10x leverage, T+0 trading, and allow both long and short positions.

What concept?
If Lu Jincheng could accurately predict the rise and fall, he would buy all the stocks on the same day, and if the index rose by 1%, he would sell them on the same day and make a direct profit of 10%.

It’s not over yet. The index will fluctuate up and down. It is predicted that it will fall again. On the same day, I went short with a full position. The index fell by 1%, and I bought and closed the position, making another 10% profit.

If the index fluctuates several times during the day, you can make money repeatedly. Even if the index does not rise or fall at the final closing, as long as there is fluctuation, you can make money.

Let’s talk about index options. This is even more ruthless. Theoretically, if the market situation is not too extreme, the leverage ratio of options can reach dozens or even hundreds of times.

In the secondary market, if one can accurately predict the rise and fall, what a few years or a hundredfold return, then the scenario cannot be any smaller.

It doesn’t take years at all, just a few days, and you can easily make a hundredfold profit.

But after all, that happened more than ten years ago. Lu Jincheng couldn't remember it so accurately, and it was impossible for him to use only more than 500,000 yuan to bet on a leverage of a hundred times.

He has a deep understanding of himself and can try to predict the index, but he will never gamble on options contracts.

The financial world is complicated. In his previous life, many of his entrepreneur friends did not fully understand stocks. Seeing that options could allow them to make a small investment for a big return, they thought about taking a gamble, but ended up with their positions liquidated and their finances wiped out.

After all, when it comes to futures options, once the expiration date arrives, the floating profits and losses will be forced to be cashed out immediately, and you won’t even be given the chance to wait.

This is a complex financial instrument. If you can predict the rise and fall with 100% accuracy, you can use futures to make money from the volatile market.

In a one-sided market with sharp rises or falls, you can use options to make huge profits.

But the premise of everything is to be able to predict the future and predict the rise and fall of the market with 100% certainty.

These financial instruments are like a double-edged sword. They can allow people to make millions with tens of thousands in a short period of time, but they can also make people lose millions in a day.

It is the angel and the devil.

The key point is whether the manipulator can stay sober and have the ability to control it.

On the other side, Zhou Sining, who had just returned to the dormitory, was about to edit WeChat, but her phone vibrated first, and she received a video invitation from her best friend.

"Ah! Honey, why are you smiling so much today? What's going on?"

The other person's name is Guan Yongyi, from Yangcheng. As soon as you hear the name, you know that she is most likely a girl from Guangdong Province.

Because of the work of their elders, the two have known each other since childhood and often travel together. This time they were admitted to the same university.

"Guan Guan! Let me tell you, I made a huge profit of 8000 yuan from the stocks I bought today!"

Zhou Si Ning lifted the quilt, pulled the black suspenders on her shoulders back into place, casually stepped on a pair of slippers, and ran to the balcony.

She didn't want to be too loud in front of her roommates, so she lowered her voice deliberately. Her big peach blossom eyes curved like a crescent moon when she smiled, but she couldn't hide the joy in her tone.

"So many? Then I'm going to slaughter you and treat me to a feast later!"

Guan Yongyi was quickly infected by her best friend's emotions, and her smile was like a melting iceberg.

"Didn't you tell me before that the market is not good right now and you planned to wait and see for a while?"

"Oh, well, I went to look at the market today and met a boy who is about my age."

"Uh-huh???"

Guan Yongyi was stunned. Zhou Sining held up her phone and used relatively tactful words to describe her wonderful experiences throughout the day.

"It sounds so weird, are you being fooled by a liar?"

Guan Yongyi bit his lip, looking unconvinced.

The two have been good friends since childhood and have similar family conditions, but their personalities are completely different.

People who study law and those who work in finance react completely differently when faced with the unknown.

She once followed Zhou Si Ning's lead and invested in stocks for a while, but once the 10% stop-loss line was crossed, she immediately decided to withdraw her investment and run away.

Guan Yongyi also specifically advised her best friend to stop playing around.

If you do not involve sunk costs in major decision-making and only focus on making a profit, you will easily lose everything.

After hearing about the man’s all-round winning record, my first reaction was that my best friend might have been cheated.

"Listen to me! I thought about it too. Maybe I was lucky during that period. I went to the stock exchange again when it opened in the afternoon and bought a few of the tickets he bought."

"result."

Zhou Si Ning smiled as she spoke, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, like a little fox who had stolen a piece of cake.

Stock investor Xiao Zhou does not have much capital. The New Year's money he has received since he was a child, plus the red envelopes given by relatives, totals more than 100,000 yuan.

The market had been in a long-term slump and the market was not good. She lost part of her money, and adding the part she sold, she only used 100,000 yuan of original capital when she bought in the afternoon.

I got an 8% profit, 8000 yuan, at the closing time.

It’s almost as much as the living expenses of several college students.

"It feels so good~"

Guan Yongyi couldn't help but speak in her hometown dialect and made a heart shape to her bestie in front of the camera: "Then what?"

"Then"

Zhou Si Ning blinked her eyes, her beautiful eyelashes fluttering, and paused for a moment, seeming a little embarrassed.

"?"

"This... can't be considered later. At noon, I added him on WeChat."

The lazy sunlight shone on Zhou Si Ning, giving the fine hair on her neck a blurry outline.

She originally had fair skin, but at this moment her pretty face turned red, like a cake painted with a beautiful runny color, tempting to bite.

"what?"

Guan Yongyi's curiosity was immediately aroused, and he changed from lying on the bed to sitting up, with his long and straight calves close to his body, forming a natural mobile phone holder, and he placed the phone in the middle.

"Zhou Si Ning! Is there any detail you didn't tell me?"

"what?"

"No, that's pretty much what I just said."

Zhou Si Ning shook her head.

"You must have missed something! Why would you take the initiative to add a man on WeChat?"

Guan Yongyi asked seriously.

"Is he handsome?"

".You wake up, we just met once."

Zhou Sining was speechless.

"He's good at talking and very comfortable to be with?"

Guan Yongyi continued to ask.

"Okay, okay, Auntie, let's talk about what to eat later, okay?"

Zhou Sining couldn't help but recall Lu Jincheng's angular profile and the more than ten minutes the two of them spent together in the car.

"It's over, it's over, you're so handsome and good at picking up girls, you ah you"

Guan Yongyi smiled and stretched out a finger, raising his eyebrows meaningfully.

Her whole family are legal practitioners, and she has been trained with superb logical thinking since childhood.

Not answering directly is often a tacit agreement, and avoiding the question is often a bullseye.

"Why don't you call him out when we have dinner tonight? I can help you check."
