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

Chapter 61 Post-Market Review
Back in dormitory 308, Zhang Yang discovered that apart from Chen Chuan, who was living alone, Wang Liu and Xu Jiafeng were not in the dormitory.

The laptop was playing a movie starring "Teacher Bobo". Chen Chuan, who was appreciating culture and art, glanced to the side and saw Zhang Yang open the door and walk in. He was stunned for half a second, and then asked in confusion, "Dormitory leader, didn't you go to Hangzhou? Why are you back so soon?"

Although Shanghai is not far from Hangzhou, it would still take about five or six hours to go there and back. It's only four o'clock in the afternoon. What friends are you meeting so soon?

Did he just say hello and come back?
Chen Chuan couldn't understand it.

"I just had a meal with some friends. Where are Liu Zi and the others?" Zhang Yang asked casually, then went to the lower bunk of his bed and opened the laptop on the table.

In 2009, stock trading still had limitations; it was impossible to monitor the market and trade anytime, anywhere.

Zhang Yang didn't even have a chance to check the stock market today, let alone trade stocks, as his Nokia 3250 can only load some simple text web pages.

"They're from the badminton club. They seem to be organizing a social event with other clubs recently. They're running around like a donkey."

Chen Chuan has never joined any clubs or organizations; he is a typical shut-in.

Zhang Yang had joined the Go club, but he left in his second year of university because he didn't like the club's atmosphere; the president and vice president both liked to engage in bureaucratic practices.

"I see." Zhang Yang responded, then sat down to examine the board.

The Shanghai Composite Index closed up 0.11% today. It opened lower and dipped in the morning session, with the banking sector leading the decline, reaching a low of 2422.79.

However, starting at 1:42 PM, the securities sector took the lead, defying the pullback in the banking sector and driving a collective rebound in sectors such as coal, consumer goods, and automobiles. This led to a rise in the overall market, reaching a high of 2474.15 points before closing at 2463.95.

It's not hard to see that the recent sharp declines were caused by a correction in the banking sector.

What does the banking sector mean for the A-share market?
Four words: a pillar of strength!

As long as bank stocks don't fall, the Shanghai Composite Index is unlikely to fall much further. However, if it experiences a sharp decline, it could easily drag the entire market down.

This is somewhat similar to Bitcoin in later years; whenever it drops, the entire cryptocurrency market is thrown into chaos.

This is why many technical analysts in the A-share market like to closely monitor the banking and securities sectors.

"It's the banking sector leading the sell-off again," Zhang Yang thought to himself.

It now appears that to capture the main upward trend, we must wait for the banking sector to stop falling and pay special attention to any positive developments related to the banking sector.

Zhang Yang then opened his securities account holdings page to check his daily earnings. Yangtze Power's stock price had risen by 2.61%, bringing the total value of the stock to 42812.2 yuan.

Yesterday's sharp pullback, which had previously dragged down Huaguo Shenhua by 6.77%, has also rebounded, closing up 1.85% today, totaling 690.6 yuan. Currently, the stock's total return is -5.04%, resulting in a loss of 2017.1 yuan.

Adding the profits from these two stocks together, Zhang Yang not only didn't lose money, but actually made a small profit of 800 yuan.

As for ST Zhongfangji, it immediately hit the 5% daily limit down, opening and closing at the same time. The technical pattern made Zhang Yang sense the danger.

On the 22nd, which was yesterday, when the upper shadow line appeared, he sensed a crisis. He originally planned to sell directly if the market opened lower the next day, but he didn't expect that he would be delayed and end up hitting the daily limit down. He might even see a continuous decline tomorrow.

Currently, ST Zhongfangji still has a floating profit of 3368.1 yuan, representing a 16.84% increase. As long as the profit is available tomorrow, Zhang Yang will still be in profit.

……

After a brief review of today's market trends, Zhang Yang logged onto QQ to handle the booming market research report business.

All applications to join the regular group were approved, bringing the total number of members to 744, although most of them were just there for fun.

Zhang Yang thought about it and agreed to all the applications to join the VIP research report group. However, after agreeing, he changed the name of the VIP research report group to "VIP Research Report Transfer Group" and created a new VIP research report group.

Then, based on the notes in the online banking transfer records, he went to recruit people one by one.

Not a moment.

The new VIP research report group now has 134 members.

[Little Bun]: Joker, you must be done with your work by now. What's your outlook for the market tomorrow?

[Crazy Cowboy]: Banks fell sharply in the morning session. After I cut my losses, they rebounded a bit. I wonder if I'll miss out on the gains.

[Baby Doesn't Eat Candy]: Joker, can you predict tomorrow's market trend? I've lost almost 20,000 to 30,000 yuan in the past two days.

Zhang Yang had promised to issue a warning during trading hours, but he couldn't find the time today, so he asked his group members for leave in advance.

After seeing the group message, Zhang Yang didn't stay silent. He reassured everyone, "There's no obvious negative news yet. The market has been correcting these past two days because it's risen too much and needs time to digest. Don't worry." After Zhang Yang sent the message, many group members breathed a sigh of relief.

At the 2463-point level, many people are actually afraid of heights, after all, half a year ago, the Shanghai Composite Index dropped to 1800 points.

Zhang Yang didn't check the group messages again. Instead, he returned to the QQ homepage and scrolled down, where he found that Xu Zhiruo had sent him a "Are you there?" message at 11:00 AM.

Out of politeness to his classmates, he replied, "Yes, what's up?", and then went on to reply to the private messages from his other friends. After making some time, he went to organize the existing market research reports.

……

And on the other side.

The girls' dormitory building for investment students.

As soon as He Jing reached the corner of the stairs, Xu Zhiruo, Lan Sisi, and Wei Yunshi—six eyes in total—were all staring at her.

"Ho!"

This sudden scene startled He Jing, who instinctively took a step back and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Hmm~"

"Hmm~"

"Hmm~"

The three of them made meaningful humming sounds, and their eyes seemed to say to He Jing: I didn't expect you to be so secretive.

"Everyone in Dorm 201 knows that Zhang Yang is the man I like. Sister Jing, you actually seduced him. You're cheating on me!" Xu Zhiruo pouted and said half-jokingly.

"Have you reached an agreement?" Lan Sisi asked, raising an eyebrow.

Although they all knew that Xu Zhiruo had feelings for Zhang Yang, they also knew that there was no real progress between the two.

"No wonder you've been leaving early and coming home late lately, you've been spending all your time with Zhang Yang, I never would have guessed," Wei Yunshi said with a smile.

"..."

At this moment, He Jing was caught in a brainstorming session. What made her even more embarrassed was that other girls were secretly gossiping.

To avoid embarrassment, she pulled the three of them back to the dorm first, then confessed, "It's not what you think..."

"The three of us saw it with our own eyes. You just secretly met with Zhang Yang," Lan Sisi interrupted directly.

"I went to collect my payment." He Jing handed the black plastic bag to Lan Sisi and then recounted the whole story.

After unwrapping the black plastic bag and opening the newspaper wrapping, there was indeed 20,000 yuan.

A boy giving a girl a gift shouldn't be done so simply and crudely; all three believed He Jing's words to be true.

The moment Wei Yunshi saw the two stacks of banknotes, she suddenly realized and said, "So, you and Zhang Yang didn't end up talking?"

"No."

He Jing answered very decisively.

"call--"

Xu Zhiruo breathed a sigh of relief, touched her head and said, "Luckily I wasn't cuckolded, otherwise it would have been bad for my reputation."

"Ruoruo, stop being so narcissistic. Zhang Yang hasn't even started talking to you yet."

Unrequited love is an illness, and it needs to be cured.

Lan Sisi and Wei Yunshi each spoke.

After receiving the 20,000 yuan back from Lan Sisi, He Jing wrapped it up again in newspaper, planning to deposit it in the bank when she had time.

Xu Zhiruo, who was standing nearby, caught a useful piece of information. Ignoring her roommate's sarcasm, she looked at He Jing and asked, "Jing-jie, you just mentioned that Zhang Yang wants to create a financial website?"
