American Comics: When the Police Comes to Knock on the Door

July 7th will be an unforgettable day for all financial practitioners and stock investors. Stark Industries' plunge was still reasonable, but the market's five-minute collapse showed no sign.

The media used the title "Black Friday" to analyze the relationship between the collapse of Stark Industries and the collapse of the stock market on Friday from all aspects.

The Securities Commission, Futures Commission, Federal Reserve, Financial Regulatory Authority and other agencies launched investigations into what happened that day.

In the days that followed, as Richard expected, there was a massive wave of suicides. Fortunately, Harlem is where Richard is. Suicides have occurred almost every day in Midtown West, where the Stark Industries Building is located. YD had to temporarily increase the police force in Midtown West. Who calls it a rich man? District.

The investigation results are out, and the Securities Commission once again pointed the finger at "high-frequency trading". Why again? Because regulatory agencies have dealt with high-frequency trading many times.

High-frequency trading is a complex stock trading model, but fundamentally speaking, it is a model that violates the principles of the stock market. It completely turns investment into a mathematical game, relying on hardware equipment and mathematical models. Cheating means.

For example, when you want to buy two bottles of mineral water in the supermarket, each bottle of mineral water costs 1 yuan, but when you go to the checkout counter, someone jumps in line and buys them. At this time, the price has risen to 11 yuan per bottle, and there are no two bottles sold at this price. You can only buy one bottle for 11 yuan.

The trading information received by investors' computers or mobile phones is transmitted through signals. There is a delay in this transmission process, although the delay is very short. Through the improvement of hardware equipment, financial companies can receive information faster than most people. This speed may be tens of milliseconds or several milliseconds, and financial companies use mathematical models to conduct transactions within these milliseconds. , so that when there is a rise, buy and sell, when there is a fall, you can make a steady profit without losing money.

So now the problem arises. Money in the stock market is constant. If someone makes money, someone will lose it. The harvest of financial companies will cause investors to lose money. This will increase the power of the short side in the market. When something stimulates the short side, When there is emotion, the market releases a strong downward trend. The mathematical model is not the human brain. When the downward trend occurs, it will sell, and this intensifies the downward trend. It will continue to sell, and the more it sells, the more it sells. , selling lower and lower, thus causing a stock market crash in a short period of time.

There are at least five supercomputers in the United States serving the financial industry. If you don't do high-frequency trading, how can you get so many supercomputers?

The Securities Commission has been fighting high-frequency trading since its emergence, but the evolution of mathematical models and the methods of financial companies are far stronger than the capabilities of the Securities Commission. The reason is simple, because financial companies have money.

The worst thing about what happened this time was the people who knew in advance that Tony was going to return to the country. They bought a large amount of Stark Industries stock a few days before Tony returned to the country, but Tony said this after returning to the country. .

In view of the fact that many stocks fell by more than 90% before the market circuit breaker was triggered, the Securities Commission and other institutions are discussing the circuit breaker mechanism for individual stocks and new high-frequency trading regulatory measures.

The collapse of the stock market was caused by many reasons, but it is undeniable that the cause of everything was Tony Stark's speech at the press conference.

It was the end of August in the blink of an eye, and Richard had not heard any news about Tony Stark's new armor. There was no relevant information. Neither Tony nor Stark Industries were very quiet. Obadiah Yazai worked hard to eliminate the impact of Tony's speech that day on Stark Industries, but with little success. Stark's stock was still falling sharply.

An arms company no longer engages in arms trading, but does it engage in charity?

Judging from what happened some time ago, it took more than a month for Tony to be captured and rescued, and nearly a month and a half from the time he was rescued to returning home. Who knows when Tony will build the armor and fight Iron Overlord, maybe it will be It took a year and a half.

Richard didn't plan to wait any longer. His funds in the stock market had already been returned, and he didn't think he would be able to catch up with the Los Angeles war. He planned to take leave after Labor Day and the first Monday in September. If it's possible, I'll be able to travel in late September. If it's slower, it should be in early October.

Another huge event on Labor Day
