"Please use it slowly. I''ll leave first."
Arthur looked helplessly at the silence of his own hate, and the back of Paul, a depressed housekeeper, sighed and put an omelette into his mouth.
It''s not Arthur''s perfunctory excuse, but the truth is, which of the aristocrats in the house of Lords is not an old antique, and the youngest is 40 or 50 years old. How can he sit in as a 22-year-old "child".
Even if he was to sit in and let him be a "child" to work with a group of old timers, it would not have killed him!
He doesn''t want to live an old life ahead of time. Think about the youngest Yi member of the house of Lords. My God, the paparazzi and journalists in the whole UK still don''t eat him. In case his love affair is exposed accidentally, it will be a fatal scandal.
Now, he''s just a billionaire. Even if he leaks the news, it''s just a sideshow. Influence and lethality are two different things. OK!
After breakfast, Arthur got up to wash, then changed into a comfortable white casual suit, came to the desk, opened his laptop, ready to check today''s briefing.
Before finishing a briefing, the mobile phone on the side of his desk rang. Arthur picked up the phone and looked at it. After finding out that it was Smith JAMA, he picked it up.
"It seems to me that this morning''s paper has just finished reading the briefing, and there is a lot of bad news. So, what do you want to tell me?"
Arthur leaned back in his chair, looking out of the window at the snow covered landscape of the manor, and asked Smith JAMA on the other end of the phone.
What he just saw in the briefing was that, with risk aversion sweeping the world, gold prices this morning hit their biggest one-day decline since December 1, 2008, hitting a three-month low, and detonating large-scale technology sales. The common opinion of technical analysts of investment companies is that the trend of short-term gold is worrying, and the possibility of further decline is not ruled out.
"Boss, although there is a lot of bad news, it has not caused you too much loss. The loss of gold spot and the money gained from futures have been offset.
No way. As soon as the white headed eagle''s report came out, the European market was worried about the euro zone''s sovereign debt crisis, and investors abandoned high-risk assets and switched to the US dollar.
At present, gold has fallen below the key technical support. Now there is no technical support for gold. Once there is any pressure factor, the price of gold is likely to fall further.
The euro''s exchange rate against the U.S. dollar broke a seven month low, which became the main reason for the gold price plunge. Earlier today, European Central Bank President Jean Claude Trichet predicted that many countries in the euro area would face the threat of a sharp increase in fiscal deficits, which immediately ignited the market''s heavy concern about the euro area''s economy. The falling momentum of the euro against the US dollar was out of control, falling by 1.24%
"Well, it''s just that we missed a chance to make a profit."
Arthur said helplessly, after all, to short the euro is what they have been doing in this period of time. This time, because the financial report of the United States failed to meet the market expectations, it caused losses. Closing positions ahead of time and leaving the market, choosing to avoid, did avoid some losses, but also missed the opportunity of profit.
"Boss, the last thing you should and don''t need to do now is Du Bo. This time you miss it, and next time, the financial market is constantly changing. No one can do it. Every time you want to win, you can only choose the investment with confidence as much as possible to avoid losing.
This time gold plummeted, from the technical chart, spot gold has fallen below the 50 day and 100 day average. Most technical analysts in the market said that after breaking through these important technical supports, the gold price may continue to decline, but it should be able to hold the $1000 barrier
Smith JAMA can only continue to be relieved by his own boss''s unwillingness. After listening to Smith''s words, Arthur also knew that he should not complain. After all, he was too greedy. After shaking his head with a silent smile, he asked his mobile phone, "I want to hear your opinion."
"My view is that the U.S. will release its January non farm payrolls report in New York on Friday, and the market''s attention will turn to the data. In the short run, at least, gold is now in tatters. Unless the U.S. employment data can reverse the strength of the U.S. dollar and bring gold back to life, I don''t think that''s likely.
Moreover, the euro was sold off and devalued all the way because of concerns about the debt levels of Greece, Spain and Portugal. European stock markets have also suffered a sharp fall. At present, the stock markets of Spain, Portugal and Greece have become a disaster area, causing the U.S. stock market and major Asian stock indexes to fall one after another.
The debt of euro zone countries is so heavy that it is bound to make the differentiation of European economic recovery more prominent. Looking to the future, I believe that the euro area will continue to be under pressure until the debt problem of the euro area is solved. There is a risk of a second dip in the economy, which may lead to a global exchange rate war. " Mr. smithmar spoke of his real worries.
"Exchange rate war" Arthur frowned and thought for a while, and finally decided: "in this case, in order to reduce the loss caused by currency devaluation, we can only choose to offset the possible loss, take out 50 million to short the euro.""Boss, what if Germany and France can raise enough money to help Greece and Spain?" Smith JAMA still thinks that he should be conservative and wait and see until the situation becomes clearer. He really doesn''t want to see the big tree and take risks.
"Ha ha, so extreme, do you think Germany and France will make that kind of sacrifice now?" Arthur asked with a smile of disapproval, "although it is said that there is a debt crisis in many countries, but how serious it is, only the countries concerned know it. They are also secretive and refuse to disclose it. Germany and France will only let them find their own way, at least at present, so they are short of euro in a short term."
"OK, boss..."
Hang up the phone, Arthur pondered for a while, find out from his mobile phone investment and financial adviser Angela''s phone number, dial out.
Angela is very busy now, not only responsible for the acquisition of Greek olive oil companies, Italian wineries, but also for screening the acquisition targets of Xing newspapers all over the UK.
The call was quickly picked up. After Arthur told her about the phone call with Smith JAMA, Angela pondered for a moment and said, "help or not? Germany, France and other European powers should be in a dilemma.
Spain, the EU''s fourth largest economy, is more heart stirring than Greece. Although Standard & Poor''s rating of Spain''s long-term debt has not been downgraded, it has lowered the outlook rating of Spain''s sovereign rating from stable to negative.
In the Mediterranean coastal countries, there is a lack of financial discipline, no leading industry and huge pension expenditure. In response to the international financial crisis, they implemented a large-scale fiscal stimulus plan last year. As a result, the fiscal deficit soared and the total national debt increased. If Spain does not take reliable measures to control its deficit, and it is only a matter of time before the rating company downgrades its credit rating, then the real European debt crisis will explode completely and the news will spread to all the Mediterranean countries! "
"You mean, keep an eye on Spain and use it as a weathervane?" Arthur asked, his eyes brightening.
"Yes, as long as Spain does not issue strong measures to control the deficit, it is safe and bold to short the euro."
"Well, you can contact Smith later and tell him what you think. He is hesitant." Arthur laughed.
"He just doesn''t want you to risk it."
Arthur took his mobile phone and said with a smile: "for making money, not willing to take risks is a kind of failure."
To tell you the truth, I always heard that steadiness is the shortcut to make money, but wealth insurance is the daily deduction of real life. Those who are not willing to take risks have actually taken risks for a lifetime.
People in this life only do things that are not sure, the probability of success will be greater. Some people are always doing something sure, life will be mediocre.
To put it bluntly, those who take the dead wages will never get rich. If they want to get rich, they will have to toss about. If they don''t, they will never get rich. This is the reality. Wealth is made by tossing, not by dream!
