Starting with a fully invested A-share portfolio to become a capital...

Chapter 3 Profiting from it
Over the next two days, all 122 students majoring in investment at Shanghai University of Finance and Economics opened accounts with Huaxin Securities, and Professor Wang Xingbang submitted the registration.

308 Dormitory.

The bed is on the left side of the door.

Xu Jiafeng, shirtless and with a cigarette dangling from his lips, used existing information channels to search for stocks related to steel bars and concrete.

Because of the positive outlook on the "Four Trillion Yuan Stimulus Plan" for boosting infrastructure, steel bars and concrete are naturally indispensable when discussing infrastructure.

Chen Chuan didn't expect to get into Huaxin Securities; he just wanted to avoid failing his courses. So he chose the relatively stable automotive sector, which was recommended by Zhang Yang, a top student.

As for Wang Liu, he doesn't look at sectors or concepts, but rather at the stock exchange's daily trading data, following market enthusiasm to speculate on concepts.

What is the Dragon and Tiger List?
涨跌幅偏离7%以上的前5名、振幅达到15%的前5名、换手率达到20%的前5名，以及连续三日涨跌幅超20%的个股会登上榜单。

The disclosure also includes not only individual stock information, but also information on the top 5 brokerage firms with the largest buy and sell amounts.

It's worth noting that stocks appearing on the Dragon and Tiger List often lack performance support, and it is precisely because of this lack of performance that their price movements are easily swayed by hot money in the market.

For index stocks with "China" in their names, manipulating their price movements is extremely difficult, requiring a massive amount of capital.

The Dragon and Tiger List can also be understood as a capital flow list. When market funds speculate, the stock will either rise for several consecutive days or be completely wiped out.

"Ness!"

"Seale the board!"

The closing of ST Everest's stock price prompted Wang Liu to snap his fingers.

Hearing the commotion, Chen Chuan immediately approached and asked, "How much did you earn?"

"Twenty dollars."

Looking at the 90 lots of buy orders at the bottom, Wang Liu excitedly said, "90 lots of buy orders at the opening, maybe we can get a consecutive limit-up."

He had barely finished speaking when his tone turned regretful, yet also seemed to be boasting: "What a pity, the maximum increase for ST stocks is only 5%. Even if you get ten consecutive limit-up days, it's only a little over 60 points. Sigh!"

"It's only been two days! You should be the first in our department to hit consecutive limit-up days. If you get into Huaxin Securities, don't forget your brothers."

Xu Jiafeng also leaned closer and said.

"I am very sure of that."

As Wang Liu spoke, he glanced at Zhang Yang, who was typing on the keyboard, and asked, "How are your stocks doing these past two days, dorm leader?"

"is acceptable."

Zhang Yang didn't keep an eye on the market.

Five minutes after the market opened, he glanced at the Baosteel shares and JAC Motors shares he had bought, both of which were showing signs of rising prices with high trading volume.

Unlike his roommate who used a demo account, he used both a live account and a demo account.

The other live trading account had only 800 yuan in funds, of which 500 yuan was used to buy one lot, or 100 shares, of Baosteel, and 300 yuan was used to buy JAC Motors.

As for the 100 million yuan in Huaxin's simulated trading account, he went all in on Baosteel shares at the end of yesterday's trading session.

As a leading steel company, Baosteel is the most direct beneficiary of this round of 4 trillion yuan infrastructure investment, so its price increase is inevitable.

Compared to the ups and downs of the stock market, he is now more concerned with completing his initial capital accumulation.

As a financial professional, Zhang Yang is well aware of the importance of initial capital.

For example, if you invest 1 yuan, even if the price increases by 100%, the 2 yuan will only become 100 yuan. But if you invest 1 million yuan, even if the price only increases by 5%, the unrealized profit will be 5 yuan.

How much more can be added?

Chen Chuan was a little curious and moved closer to examine Zhang Yang's computer screen.

Zhang Yang didn't shy away from the topic and openly displayed the profits from the demo account.

"Fuck!"

"Going all in on Baosteel?" Chen Chuan's surprised voice immediately attracted Xu Jiafeng and Wang Liu to come and watch.

Zhang Yang's demo account showed a floating profit of 23,000 yuan. On the morning of March 10, Baosteel shares opened lower and then rose.

"You've already gone all in?"

Wang Liu thought he was radical enough, but he didn't expect Zhang Yang to be even more radical than him.

He invested 30 yuan in ST Everest, and a 5% return, spread over a principal of 100 million yuan, is only a 1.5% return.

But can it be flamboyant?

If you invest all your 100 million yuan in Baosteel shares, the 2.3 yuan investment would yield a total return of 2.3%, which is a full 0.8% higher than his!

"Brilliant!"

Xu Jiafeng couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

He also added Baosteel shares to his watchlist these past two days, but only bought 2 shares, not daring to operate like Zhang Yang.

"Truly, skill and daring go hand in hand."

He was amazed.

Chen Chuan quickly offered him a cigarette and chuckled, "If you get into Huaxin Securities, don't forget your brothers who've been through thick and thin with you."

"Don't worry, I'll always remember you as my brother." Zhang Yang had just taken the cigarette when Chen Chuan quickly pulled out a lighter from his pocket.

"pat-"

The cigarette is lit.

Having gotten used to foreign cigarettes, I have to say, this Liqun cigarette is really strong.

……

Zhang Yang went all in on Baosteel shares, and Xu Jiafeng, Chen Chuan, and Wang Liu also chose to buy in the morning session. When the market opened at 1 p.m., Baosteel shares fluctuated between 1.24% and 1.3% for more than ten minutes. Since they did not buy at the low point at the opening, they did not get much of the gains.

While his three roommates were still glued to the trading screen in their dorm room, Zhang Yang had already arrived at the library with his laptop.

The library at the Wudong Road campus has seven floors. The first to fourth floors are reading rooms, the fifth floor is a personal study area, the sixth floor is an academic exhibition space, and the top floor is a group study area.

Zhang Yang headed straight for the sixth floor, because there was a financial data analysis room there where he could freely type on the keyboard and mouse.

After finding a seat, he immediately opened Tableau, a visual business intelligence software, and imported the data he had collected.

Tableau, Oracle BI, and Sisense are currently the mainstream BI (Business Intelligence) software. Compared to the most basic Excel spreadsheet, BI software can integrate data from different sources and in different formats within an enterprise, such as sales, finance, and production data, to form a unified data view and avoid data silos.

Moreover, the data it produces is more intuitive, and even data novices can understand it.

In his previous life, when he was a fund manager at Bridgewater Associates, Zhang Yang did a lot of data analysis.

Proficiency in BI software is only the foundation for becoming a financial analyst. To become a "top expert," one must also be able to use Hyperion Planning or Oracle Essbase to analyze financial data, and Capital IQ Pro to perform valuations.

Compared to stock trading, data analysts have a more stable income.

Even Warren Buffett, the legendary investor, consults data from Moody's before making judgments about the financial market.

What Zhang Yang needs to do now is simple: organize the existing data, select potential stocks, create a visual table, and provide it to students who need it.

Aside from Zhang Yang himself, there are 121 other people majoring in investment, all of whom are potential clients. Even if he only charges 30 yuan per period, as long as 50 people subscribe, the income will be 1500 yuan.

With his current capital of 800 yuan, he would need a growth rate of 187.5% to earn 1500 yuan in the stock market!

What does a 187.5% return rate mean?
Buffett's annual return is 25%, which, despite his large capital, is already outstanding.

With only 800 yuan in capital, he would never use the stock market to double his money; instead, he would first accumulate initial capital.

After all, a person's energy is limited, and effort and reward must be commensurate.
