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

Chapter 4 Market Research Report Emails
While Zhang Yang was still organizing data in the library, investment students had mixed feelings; some had caught a breakout stock, while others had already suffered losses.

The four people in dormitory 307, across from dormitory 308, all fell into a hole.

Who said infrastructure stocks are guaranteed to rise?

"China Railway Construction shouldn't be like this. It has actually started to decline with decreasing volume. Once this sideways trend is broken, it may cause a sharp drop and panic selling."

"What should I do?"

"Sell it and buy other infrastructure stocks."

After a brief discussion, the group decided to adjust their portfolios and switch stocks. The current loss was only a few thousand yuan, which was just a drop in the ocean compared to their simulated capital of 100 million yuan.

And at the same time.

the other side.

Girls dormitory building.

201 Dormitory.

Wearing only a tank top and exposing her bare shoulders, He Jing held a mouse and stared intently at the laptop screen.

She bought shares of Changan Automobile for 10 yuan.

As a female academic star who consistently ranks among the top five in her major, the reason she consulted Zhang Yang the day before yesterday was mainly to confirm whether their ideas were aligned, so as to secure the opportunity to intern at Huaxin Securities.

For those with local connections, this opportunity may be readily available.

However, she was born in western Hunan, and both her parents were teachers, so her family could not provide her with any financial or employment assistance.

She had been watching Changan Automobile's stock for a long time. Before the subprime mortgage crisis, its highest stock price was 24.58 yuan.

After a year and a half of sharp decline, the stock price hit a low of 3.4 yuan, a drop of 86.17%, indicating a significant oversold condition.

Due to uncertainty about the bottom and the lack of technical support, she only chose to invest 10 yuan and wait for the first quarter earnings report news to unfold.

It is worth mentioning that Zhang Yang and He Jing are optimistic about the automotive sector because on January 14, 2009, the state issued the "Automotive Industry Adjustment and Revitalization Plan," which not only mentioned reducing the vehicle purchase tax but also implementing policies such as subsidizing car purchases in rural areas.

Compared to He Jing's steady approach, her three roommates are more aggressive.

For example, Xu Zhiruo, who wears a white tank top with a single ponytail but has an unremarkable chest, chose to invest 70 yuan in an ETF fund related to the automotive sector, and the remaining 30 yuan was for subsequent additional investment.

The other two roommates also significantly increased their holdings in the automotive, infrastructure, and consumer sectors.

After all, they have professional knowledge and will not blindly invest in uncertain sectors.

……

As the days went by, the returns of the 122 students majoring in investment gradually diverged, with Lai Weijie suffering the biggest loss.

He believed the market's speculation and went all in on Rongfeng Holdings.

After the stock price hit the daily limit for two consecutive days, the company secretary came forward to deny the rumors, stating that the company has not made any major business adjustments recently.

Then came four consecutive days of limit-down trading, making it impossible to exit the market. The total return was -20%, resulting in a loss of up to 20 yuan.

The top three in terms of returns were Wang Liu, Xu Jiafeng, and He Jing, while Zhang Yang, who had not been trading, ranked only 17th in the class.

Investment Studies Faculty Office.

Professor Wang Xingbang looked at the daily profit data and nodded in satisfaction, saying, "In five trading days, 12 students achieved a return of over 10%. The quality of this year's students is quite good."

Another instructor, Chang Botao, nodded slightly and analyzed, "Wang Liu must have gone to buy stocks, with a return of 24%, leading the second-place Xu Jiafeng by 9%."

How flamboyant?

Another teacher asked a question.

Wang Xingbang scrolled through the statistics table and replied, "7%, which is not bad overall."

"7%?"

A hint of disappointment flashed in the teacher's eyes, but then he said with relief, "It seems that practice is the only truth, and theory is just an aid."

"It's hard to say until the very end."

Chang Botao smiled.

He had a lot of confidence in Zhang Yang because the subject he taught was "Financial Market Analysis," and Zhang Yang had scored above 90 in the final exams for the first three years.

He didn't know the difficulty of the other subjects, but he deliberately made the "Financial Market Analysis" subject difficult, and getting a score of 60 would be quite remarkable.

A score of 90 or above indicates that Zhang Yang has developed a unique understanding of the market. Understanding the underlying rules of the financial market is crucial to understanding its dynamics, hence his great confidence in Zhang Yang.

While several teachers were chatting in the office, all 121 investment students except Zhang Yang received a special email. The email title was simple and direct: "After escaping the impact of the subprime crisis, the A-share market is about to see a surge in potential sectors - Part 1". The sender was Zhang Yang's 163 email address.

"Ding-dong-"

He Jing's laptop popped up an email window and made a notification sound.

She casually clicked on the email and found that it was sent by her "old acquaintance" Zhang Yang.

"What the hell is this guy doing?"

She was a little confused.

The moment Xu Zhiruo saw the email, she immediately raised her voice and said, "Sisters, Zhang Yang suddenly sent me a market analysis email. Could it be that he likes me?"

"He sent it to me too."

"I received it too. Do you think it's possible that he likes all three of us at the same time?"

My two roommates poured cold water on me.

Upon learning it was a group message, Xu Zhiruo picked up the Coca-Cola on the table, took a sip, and while covering her embarrassment, said, "Maybe it was specially made for me."

"Oh!"

With her neat short hair and a few freckles on her face, Lan Sisi had already skimmed through the email and teased, "He really did send this email specifically for your... money."

The long, drawn-out syllable made Xu Zhiruo want to hit someone.

But the other party was from the sports club, so she chose to bully the weak and fear the strong.

He Jing, on the other hand, quickly scrolled through the attached files in the email by scrolling the mouse wheel.

This table presents macroeconomic data, focusing on the economies and stimulus policies of various countries. It includes not only the CPI (Consumer Price Index), non-farm payroll data, and unemployment rates, but also points out four areas that may be the first to recover after the subprime mortgage crisis.

At the end of the attached document was a message written by Zhang Yang.

[Data processing requires a significant amount of time and effort. If you wish to subscribe to the second issue of our market research report and sector analysis, please call 134…9457 or add QQ 158…5771. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.]
Are you selling data?

He Jing narrowed her eyes slightly; she couldn't understand what Zhang Yang was trying to do.

Investment students are now fiercely competing for internships at Huaxin Securities, while this man has actually become an analyst.

To find out what was going on, she opened QQ and sent a message to Zhang Yang.

[He Jing]: How much?

Not a moment.

Zhang Yang replied.

[Zhang Yang]: Do you want to buy domestic market research reports or potential sector analyses?
He Jing looked at the message in the window, thought for a moment, and quickly typed: "I want them all."

[Zhang Yang]: 300 yuan.

[He Jing]: ? ? ?
[He Jing]: ? ? ?
[He Jing]: ? ? ?
A series of question marks filled the chat window. He Jing had thought about 50, she had thought about 100, but she never thought about 300 yuan!
It's worth noting that a single subscription to a market analysis report from Bridgewater, Moody's, or Nomura costs only $7, and a monthly subscription is around $40. Zhang Yang is selling it for more than well-known financial institutions!

Zhang Yang's outrageous demands made He Jing feel that this guy was treating her like a Japanese person.

[Zhang Yang]: There are ten research reports in total, each costing 30 yuan. Here is a screenshot of the detailed documents. Please contact me after you have made up your mind.

[Zhang Yang]: Image.jpg
Zhang Yang's price of 30 yuan is not arbitrary. While analysts from Moody's and Nomura are indeed top-notch in the industry, their main focus is on developed countries such as Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea.

To put it simply, overly assertive research reports are more suitable for Chinese investors.

He Jing calmed down when she saw that a serving cost 30 yuan.

She opened the screenshot sent by Zhang Yang. There were ten research report files on her computer desktop. In addition to the domestic market research report, there were also analysis reports on various potential sectors such as energy, consumption, automobiles, infrastructure, and home appliances.

"To buy or not to buy?"

He Jing was somewhat conflicted.

The price of 30 yuan per serving is not high; it's about $4.39 in US dollars.

Out of rationality, she didn't want them all, but instead chose to spend 60 yuan to buy research reports on the automotive and infrastructure sectors to test the waters.
