Back To 1995

  Chapter 913 A Good Show

   "What happened to Nasdaq this year was not caused by one company, but companies like Amazon are the main reason for Nasdaq's current situation..." Bridgewater Fund also published a research report on Amazon.

   Not only Surya and Wall Street's famous Carl Icahn, John Harder watched the news on the financial channel, saw Bridgewater Fund, Tiger Hedge Fund, etc., all released analysis reports that were not optimistic about Amazon.

   This is like a hunting order in the arena. These hedge funds have already issued a hunting order, just because Amazon is not pleasing to the eye. They want to kill Amazon and let the idlers avoid it!

  When several major hedge funds, as well as some Wall Street institutions, issued short-selling reports on Amazon, fools can also see that this is going to be short-selling Amazon. If the leeks don’t want to be buried with them, then run away!

  The effect is also very significant. John Harder saw that after the opening of the market, Amazon's stock price plummeted again immediately, and the stock price directly fell below $10. The leeks flocked away, fearing that they would be too late to escape.

Not only Amazon, but all the "Bruno concept stocks", including eBay, Yeadex, Fortinet, Sohu, etc., have also plummeted. Obviously, leeks are voting with their feet. What Song Yang, what Spark Fund, in their eyes , can't save Nasdaq at all.

   After all, how much money does Spark Fund have and how many companies it can protect. It is much easier to smash the market than to protect the market!

  John Harder looked at Amazon’s stock price that was plummeting, and felt entangled for a while. On the one hand, he was rational, telling him that if he stretched out his hand, he would be chopped off. If he took over Amazon at this time, he might be smashed to death.

   On the other hand, John Harder had some inexplicable emotions, and he couldn't give a reason. If he had to talk about one thing, it would probably be that Amazon was invested by Song Yang.

In the past few years, John Harder has followed Song Yang's footsteps and made a lot of money. His trust in Song Yang far exceeds that of Surya, including Carl Icahn, who is famous on Wall Street. There are quite a few leeks who ate meat with Carl Icahn, but I have never heard of any leeks that can be worth tens of millions with Carl Icahn...

   After hesitating for a moment, John Harder bought Amazon stock worth a million dollars at a price of nine dollars on the stock trading software.

   After the purchase, John Harder was also afraid for a while. This was equivalent to one-tenth of his net worth, and it was cash flow. If the loss was gone, John Harder would probably be seriously injured.

John Harder breathed a sigh of relief, turned off the computer directly, and prepared to watch it again after more than half a month, or even a month or two. To become a fat man, sometimes it takes several months, or even a year or so before you can see the benefits. Of course, the returns will not be less, sometimes several times, dozens of times the returns!

The Nasdaq index has fallen to around 1100 points. From the highest point of more than 5,000 points, it has fallen to more than 1100 points. The entire market value of Nasdaq is nearly US$5 trillion. An air of despair.

The comments of "Nasdaq is over" and "it's hopeless, we'll have to start over" are flooding the entire industry. Now that there is a slight disturbance, the entire Nasdaq will plummet immediately. If you dare to scare Nasdaq, It really dares to lie down on the ground...

When various hedge funds released short-selling reports, Amazon’s stock price fell accordingly, and other technology stocks on Nasdaq were not much better. At a glance, the entire Nasdaq technology stocks, stock prices are scrambling to dive .

Castle Hedge Fund, Ken Griffin is also quietly watching the movement of Amazon, and he has learned a lot from a fall. He fell into the hands of Song Yang twice in a row. He was sniped by Song Yang when he double-clicked short. When he followed Soros to short Southeast Asia, Song Yang made a move again, making Ken Griffin act more low-key.

  Ken Griffin will not forget the grievances with Song Yang, but he is acting more cautiously now, just like a poisonous snake hunting its prey. He will not take it easily if he is not sure of victory.

   "Go check this time, which hedge funds have shot Amazon. I want to know whether Carl Icahn, Tiger Fund, and Bridgewater Fund have really done it!"

Ken Griffin said to the executives of the castle hedge fund that as a veteran of the hedge fund industry, he knows how deep this industry is and what kind of means can be used. How dark it is to begin with.

The four major hedge funds, such as Tiger Fund and Quantum Fund, often chanted slogans loudly, and seemed to be about to do something, but after releasing various short-selling reports, they waited quietly, and then fooled a group of small and medium-sized hedge funds into charging into the battle with leeks to replace them. They act as cannon fodder, and when their opponents are almost consumed by cannon fodder and leeks, several major hedge fund giants will enter the market to harvest leeks, and sometimes they become so ruthless that even small and medium hedge fund companies are cut off.

After glancing at Surya's information, Ken Griffin threw it aside. In the hedge fund industry, there are a few so-called geniuses emerging every year, but geniuses can become the tycoons of the hedge fund industry, and Not just a passing meteor, you need not only genius, but also luck, vision and... luck.

  Whether Surya can succeed this time, Ken Griffin feels that not only himself, but also the right time, place and people, and several major hedge fund giants will make a move!

  Looking at Amazon’s information, Ken Griffin saw at first sight that Amazon’s market value was less than $4 billion. It fell sharply this morning, and now it has a market value of less than $3.5 billion.

  This market value made Ken Griffin inexplicably think of the Double-click company that made him stumble, and he still regards it as a disgraceful double-click company. Just like Double-click, Amazon’s plate is too small!

On paper, Amazon's revenue and debts are not very good, and it earns a fraction of its losses every year. Bezos keeps building storage centers, distribution centers, and recruiting a large number of delivery personnel, abruptly making Amazon From Internet to asset-heavy investment, I don’t know that these investments will be able to pay back in the year of the monkey, and it seems that they will not be able to sustain it...

But when Ken Griffin thought of Song Yang, his heart sank. Song Yang had a lot of cash in his hands. The dollars he cashed out from Double-Click, ICQ, Yahoo, Microsoft and other companies were all astronomical. .

There are rumors that Song Yang's net worth on the Forbes wealth list has shrunk severely. The cash held by Song Yang alone is no less than the net worth on the Forbes wealth list, not to mention Alcatel mobile phones, snow The two cash cows of Leshan Games are rumored to have more than tens of billions of dollars in cash in their accounts!

  Leaving aside the gossip, according to common sense, Song Yang doesn’t seem to be willing to spend most of his net worth to fight with hedge funds for a bad-looking Amazon.

But Ken Griffin has experienced Song Yang's methods. At critical moments, Song Yang is never soft. Who knows, Song Yang will really take out a lot of beautiful knives and fight for Amazon. Various hedge funds.

  During the last double-click, that unlucky boy, Creamer who set off a short-selling double-click company, just underestimated Song Yang's determination.

He is still stepping on a sewing machine in a certain federal prison. Creamer has experienced many "accidents" since he was imprisoned. In order to protect him, the federal prison had to transfer him to another prison to squat. The prison is also tireless. If Creamer has not been sentenced for decades, the federal prison really wants to throw him out. The annual expenses spent on him are not a small amount...

After a pause, Ken Griffin still shook his head. He wanted to do another match with Song Yang, but the battlefield of Amazon made him feel a little bad, and there was always a familiar bad feeling .

   Not absolutely sure, Ken Griffin will not make a move easily, let Surya go to test the water first.

   There are not a few hedge funds with the same thoughts as Ken Griffin. Carl Icahn, Tiger Hedge Fund and other old foxes are also watching the show, shouting at Amazon, but they are all watching.

   At noon, there was basically no good news in the financial news of the entire America. Just watching the news can make people feel hopeless.

   "In the morning of the stock market, Amazon was hit hard again. The stock price and market value hit a record low. The current stock price has fallen to $9!"

   "Spark Fund's position loss has exceeded 40%, and the two billion dollars have been wiped out!"

   "The magic is not there, Bruno Song can't save Nasdaq, Bruno's concept stocks have plummeted across the board, Sohu and other companies are at risk of delisting again!"

  "Affected by companies such as Amazon, ICQ, Yahoo, Microsoft, AOL Time Warner and other companies also fell in stock prices, and the Nasdaq index hit a record low..."
