    No one is willing to step forward to save the market, and no one is willing to step forward at this time, because now the trend has been established, and no one knows what will happen next?

    Now that we are standing up, we are trying to block the car. How can we save the U.S. stock market with our money? Are you kidding us? We are neither old Morgan nor the Federal Reserve. No one has a money printing machine at home. How can there be so much money flowing around?  Lidius?

    At this time, investors all over the world have focused their attention on the United States, the U.S. government that everyone has always believed in, because no one believes that the U.S. government will watch their stock market continue to rot like this. After all, if it continues to develop like this  , the most unlucky person will definitely be the US government, and the country of the United States.

    But the current atmosphere is very mysterious. George W. Bush's term is about to expire, and the next leader is still to be determined. According to the current situation, the Democratic Party is more likely to win, but the current president is the leader of the Republican Party.  , so will the current Republican leaders be willing to leave a good foundation for the Democratic successors, or will they leave a mess?

    The whole world is speculating on the U.S. government¡¯s moves. After all, judging from the current development of the U.S. stock market, the only one who can really save this market is the U.S. government.

    But the U.S. government stopped saying anything at this time, and the Federal Reserve no longer issued any strong speeches. Suddenly there was an outcry in the market, and everyone estimated that this time it was really all over.

    On August 1, Macquarie Bank announced that its two high-yield subordinated bond funds may face losses of up to 25%. Suddenly, the market was in chaos again, and everyone wanted to escape from the market at this time.  But there was nothing he could do.

    At this time, there is no point in shorting U.S. stock futures. After all, players on the market know that the three major U.S. stock indexes will definitely be doomed this time. Even if the U.S. government comes to protect the market, these three major futures will definitely suffer losses.  It¡¯s disastrous, so even if you are short these three major futures at this time, no one is willing to take over.  After all, who is still willing to bet with you?

    Thunderbird¡¯s previous opponents, Deutsche Bank, UBS, Bank of France, etc., have already been liquidated.  So at this time, Thunderbird Company had no one to match in terms of futures.

    From these opponents alone, they have scraped away a total of 3 billion in funds, and their principal has fully doubled compared to before.

    The employees of Thunderbird Company are all happy at this time. Everyone knows that life in the United States will definitely be difficult in the next period of time. Many people will lose their jobs and even many people will lose their homes.

    Even those Wall Street tycoons who were prosperous some time ago are the same.  It's only been a few days now, and I've already heard that many people have either declared bankruptcy or committed suicide by jumping off buildings.

    It is said that the situation in the major investment banks where these employees used to work is also bleak. Many of their former colleagues are said to be sure to lose their jobs at the end of this year, and many of the celebrities they could only look up to in their original companies are now in trouble.  It's a disgraceful look.

    Compared with them, these employees of Thunderbird Company are undoubtedly very happy.

    There are even many people who think they are very lucky.  He actually came to Thunderbird Company to see the miserable condition of his former colleagues, and then think about how arrogant they were in front of him back then.  .  .

    Not only will they not have jobs next year.  There is no salary, and they may even lose their house, their home, but their side is still good. At least after the previous deal, everyone will definitely be able to have a good year again.

    ¡°Boss, what will we do next?¡±

    Brian asked Jin Xiaoqiang that it was a good time now. The whole Wall Street was looking like the end of the world, but it was also a good time to take advantage of the situation.

    "Short. Short, mainly short Citigroup, short Bear Stearns, short Lehman, short Bank of America, these companies. Also short gold and oil futures for me."

    "Umshort gold? Isn't it a bit early?"

    Brian asked, he could understand shorting those other companies, and he could understand shorting oil, but shorting gold?

    Now is the time of financial crisis. Many investors, especially those who lack confidence in currencies, generally choose to invest in gold to preserve value in order to avoid risks.

    After all, the first way for most countries to deal with this kind of financial crisis is to devalue their own currency and then increase exports to gain profits, which can bring a large amount of liquid cash.

    In order to prevent their funds from shrinking as the currency depreciates, many investors will choose to invest in gold. In this way, due to concentrated purchases, the price of gold will certainly increase.?? will rise, so shorting gold at this time seems a bit premature in Brian's opinion.

    "No, it's late. Brian, you still don't understand the impact of this financial crisis. The main reason for this financial crisis is that those Wall Street guys are too greedy. They made their plates too big. Now the market is  The cash flow is almost drying up, and all the banks are afraid to lend, because they will definitely not be able to recoup the loans they gave out before, and the houses that have been recouped will not be sold at high prices. In this way, they will have a cash shortage, and the market will  Many companies in the world will stop operations due to lack of funds, so you don¡¯t know the scarcity of funds now. We will soon enter an era where cash is king. By then, those rich people will spend money to save their companies.  Then you will still be willing to invest in gold"

    Jin Xiaoqiang's words made Brian's expression darken. Indeed, Jin Xiaoqiang was right. This means that the scale of this financial crisis is unprecedented, because only such a large-scale financial crisis can cause  There is a shortage of funds in the market.

    Brian went out to issue instructions to the super-trader players outside. What Jin Xiaoqiang had to do this time was to suck the blood of these American banks.

    Different from the stock index futures market, the banks that Jin Xiaoqiang ordered to short this time are all large listed banks. At this time, they still have some money on hand, and this money is to prevent malicious selling in the financial market.  short their stocks.

    In other words, no matter how much others sell them short, they have to take over. If they don't take over, it means that there is no money in their bank, so people will run on their bank. If it causes  With such a panic, even if you have the Federal Reserve's money printing machine, you will be unable to save the day.

    In fact, at the beginning of the financial crisis, these included the five major investment banks, as well as major banks such as Citigroup and Bank of America, which were all very wealthy.

    And relying on their consistent reputation, they are the only ones in the market who can mess with others. How dare others touch them?

    But when did this happen?  This is a financial crisis. Countless investors in the market have already lost a lot of money. Why don¡¯t they look for compensation from banks like you at this time?

    So if Jin Xiaoqiang remembers correctly, no one dared to attack these banks at the beginning of that period. After all, these banks were backed by giant consortiums, and their strength was unfathomable.

    But later, although some hot money was unwilling to suffer such losses, they began to attack these banks. Bear Stearns was the first to fall. Their stocks plummeted in the market, from the peak of more than 100 US dollars, and finally directly became  Waste paper.

    Their capital chain was broken, and their funds were completely unable to handle the huge amount of short orders. In the end, they could only watch others swallow their wealth one bite at a time. Their poor performance in the stock market also made the American people lose hope for them.  In the end, there was a run on Bear Stearns' bank. In just two days, all the more than 3 billion US dollars in deposits in their bank were withdrawn.

    In the end, Bear Stearns could only become the first domino to fall in the financial crisis, and then Lehman and Merrill Lynch could not follow suit.

    In the end, even Goldman Sachs and Morgan, which have always had strong backgrounds, were not let go. In the end, the two banks relied on their strong foundations and complicated relationships with American politicians to finally escape from the hunting of many investors.  But by that time, Goldman Sachs and Morgan had already put all their previous decades of efforts in vain. The two banks cried out that they would no longer engage in investment banking and would switch to other businesses.

    And savings banks like Citigroup and Bank of America have not been able to escape the siege of investors. Citigroup's stock also fell directly from more than 100 to more than 20. Until this time, Citigroup was still resisting tenaciously. After all, savings banks and  Investment banks had more funds to mobilize, but unfortunately their capital chain was about to collapse in the end. In desperation, they had no choice but to give up resistance. In the end, Citigroup's stock price actually fell to more than two dollars per share when it was at its lowest.  .  .  .

    Bank of America also didn¡¯t fare much better. Although it was a savings bank like Citigroup, its capital was not as strong as that of Citigroup, which had a strong background. In the end, it had no choice but to surrender.

    They simply gave up their resistance in the stock market, just to save some funds in the end. But fortunately, the profits of these two banks in other parts of the world can still be supported, and they finally managed to survive.

    ??Among them, Citigroup simply sold part of its shares to a large consortium from Abu Dhabi, and only then did it get the funds to survive. This shows how serious the crisis in American banks was during this period.

    ¡°Before Thunderbird went after these banks,Due to confused thinking in the market, many hot money still doesn't know how to respond to the crisis and recover their losses. It can be said that Thunderbird's actions have played a leading role.  .  .
