A Love Story in San Francisco

Chapter 14: Found Out

Emma's extension was granted for a month. This was a bit harsh on Lucas, Lucas missed Emma too much and with a big bonus paid out, he braved the virus to fly to Ethiopia to see Emma. Needless to say, fund management is so rewarding that Lucas generously spent $20,000 on an Emirates first class, 14 hour flight from San Francisco to Dubai and then from Dubai to Ethiopia.

The Emirates First Class service was a delight for Lucas: the seat could be completely flattened out into a fully lie-flat bed, complete with a soft mattress and high-quality down comforter. Next to the seat was a mini-bar serving a variety of drinks and snacks. There's also a large touch-screen TV for watching movies, TV shows, and even playing games.

During the flight, one also experiences excellent fine dinning. The menu featured a variety of choices, from international cuisine to regional specialties, and Lucas opted for a multi-course dinner, each of which was meticulously prepared and plated by flight attendants at his seat.

"It's just too good, no wonder rich people look so energized wherever they go, because first class is so comfortable." Lucas thought in his heart, before he thought that people who can be the upper class are all vigorous managers, now he realized that vigorous energy is also top up.

As for the B family's management products, Lucas has already greeted Alongso in advance, this period of time will not have any large-scale operations, some small-scale positions, Lucas applied for their own operation through the network; in addition, James arranged for Peterson as a temporary assistance, only need Lucas to send an email to Peterson copy James But Lucas did not want Peterson to have any involvement.

The accident occurred when Lucas was still sleeping on the airplane, Peterson received a notice from the company's analysts to adjust the position. It is important to note that while Lucas manages the B-Family primarily on Alongso's instructions, 10% of the size is flexibly allocated by Highstreet Capital, and Peterson received the instruction and emailed Lucas, "Lucas, the analysts have issued an instruction to move the position and I will be making the move by 3:00 p.m. today. " Because it was a firm transfer, Peterson did not need to wait for Lucas to confirm the position; after all, anyone else would have done the same.

Due to jet lag, Lucas fell asleep in the comfort of first class on the plane, and he did not reply to Peterson.Peterson naturally proceeded with the operation of the B Family Asset Management, and he logged on to the asset management system according to the company's authorization, which showed Lucas as the Asset Management Plan Administrator, and Peterson as the temporary administrator.

Peterson opened the trading system and sold 2 million Microsoft shares and bought 2 million Nvidia shares as instructed by the company's analysts, 'Indeed, AI stocks are hot these days, but isn't it a bit late to buy them now' Peterson also knew that sometimes the company didn't always feel that this was the best time to buy popular stocks, but if everyone else bought them and you didn't. It'll look like you're stupid when it gose up a lot.

'That's probably why it's a good idea to buy so little.' After the operation, Peterson breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was just a simple operation for a bit, there had been a case before where an employee had typed in an extra zero because of an operational error, causing the client to lose over a million dollars, and that time he was directly fired. So Peterson is a little careful, but also double-checked, just when he checked the asset portfolio, he found the TITI stock.

As a professional financial professional, Peterson is very sensitive to the market pricing, Peterson knows, TITI's stock in the past few years is a star stock, but not in the past six months. Everyone is avoiding this stock, Lucas actually buy at this time, and the size of the still very large, the price is far more than the market price. The fact that he was buying TITI stock at such a high price was a bit strange, the n***d trading data told him.

With doubt, he asked a professional analyst of the company's transportation industry for the recent primary market pricing for TITI, the magic is, just a short time before Lucas traded TITI shares, TITI's valuation in the primary market is only 40 yuan per share, Lucas actually bid 80 yuan? This is very contrary to the laws of the market.

At this time, James appeared in the office, due to the inability to contact Lucas, Peterson a little hesitant to ask James's opinion.
