Making money

The last week before the holidays passed like a dream. The lessons didn't have any purpose and the rest of the day Ben trained or learned.

In the class, the information spread that Ben had an average grade of 1,5. His parents informed their friends and now it even reached Eren.

Eren was fuming, he had an average of 1,7, so how could he not be jealous. In addition, it was mostly his last art project that decreased his average.

The rest of his classmates just made a mental note about this information and elevated his standing in their mind.

Victoria observed Ben in the lessons and concluded that Ben's grade would have a strong increase, but even she was greatly surprised.

´An understanding of science doesn't just appear. Did he always have it? Why did the change happen so suddenly? Has a dramatic experience changed his mind? I don't get it.´

.....

On Sunday, the first exciting thing of the week happened. His phone notified him of a new change of the Gold fields stock.

He opened the application and saw the news about Gold fields having found the biggest goldfield in the world.

The value of the stocks was constantly increasing, it was already at 7,98€. If he remembered right, then the stock will increase in the next week to a maximum of 12,32€. He just had to wait till the highest point to sell his stocks.

......

Ben was now in the middle of the holidays with his tracer group, while lying to his parents about working in the bar of Marcus. They visited Berlin, Bonn, and other cities borrowed E-bikes and did parkour on new environments.

After doing the whole afternoon Parkour in a Parkour park in Augsburg, Ben locked again on the stock market app.

When he looked in it, he made a shocking discovery. The value had increased higher than in his last life.

´How can this be? It should at most increase till 12,32€. But now it is at 14,76€!´

What Ben didn't know is that monopolizing the stock of Gold fields increased the demand. The bidder became so adamant to buy this stock that the bids continued to rise fastly in value. It wasn't clear when the value would stop increasing, so Ben didn't know if he should wait or sell.

´No, it is irrelevant if the stock still has potential. Its slope has already been greatly reduced. If I wait even a day longer, I could lose a lot. I need to sell my stocks as fast as possible and buy stocks from Auris Health before the 8.07.2031.´

With the decision taken, Ben made a sell order at 14,70€, which will be available only for today. This would put more pressure on the bidder.

When the bid volume is higher than the ask volume, the selling is stronger, and the price is more likely to move down than up. When the ask volume is higher than the bid volume, the buying is stronger, and the price is more likely to move up than down.

So to not influence too much the price, he decided to sell the shares at 14,70€. He hoped to sell everything before the value decreased from his selling.

In his head Ben was calculating the new probable profit, he could make by selling everything.

´I bought the shares with 96 million. I plan to sell my shares for 14,70.

So... 20.000.000*14,70 = 294.000.000

The profit... 294 - 96 = 198 million €

Then again the flat rate tax... 28% of 198 = 55,44

—> 198 - 55,44 = 142.86 million €

Wow. From 108 to 142,86 million. I hope everything works as planned.´

......

This time everything went like planned, Ben just received the transaction of 143 million € on his bank account. His heart was palpitating from the excitement he was feeling.

Following this, Ben locked at Auris Health. Auris Health stock had, for now, a stable value of 367,75 € for each of the 829.265 stocks.

´367,75 * 829 265 = 304 962 203,75 €;

This time, I don't have enough funds to monopolize the volume.

For now, I need to buy as many stocks as possible without bidding to high.

143000000 / 367,75 = 388851;

So how high should I bid?´

Ben made a buy order for Auris Health stock at the limit for 370€ for 388851 stocks till the end of this month.

He had a weakness for round numbers!

...

On the 8th of July, Ben was looking at the news with his parents.

„Here are our top news on tageschau. Volcano warning from experts in Italy, Mount Etna becomes more active. UN-Climate Change Conference in Canberra. Fridays for future demonstrate in Europe. A new president has been elected in Russia. Justin Bieber has married Miley Cyrus. Auris Health published a new product. Nuke became the most popular drug in the world."

...

„In a press conference, Dr. Frederic Moll touted their new robotic surgical systems, ADAM. ADAM can analyze bodies and do all the standard surgical procedures without needing a doctor to supervise. Dr. Moll said that this will relieve the hospitals, make treatment less expensive and faster.

Dr. Moll pioneered the field of surgical robotics starting his first robotics company in 1995. Under Dr. Moll's leadership, Auris is committed to tackling some of the biggest problems in healthcare. They are developing solutions for a multitude of disease states where the standard treatments may be inconsistent and sub-optimal..."

His rebirth didn't have a Butterfly effect on the world events thus far, it reassured Ben.

´Mont Etna did erupt at end of the year, it caused large areas being devastated by pyroclastic flow deposits, and the more widely dispersed ash falls were laid down over the north of Africa and Italy. Europe was extremely lucky that the ash was blown to Africa. The volcanic gases are converted into sulphuric acid aerosols in the stratosphere and layers of aerosol will cover the global atmosphere within a few weeks to months. These remain for several years and affect atmospheric circulation causing surface temperature to fall in Europe and Africa.

Fridays for future had a lot of achievement in 2020, but now their effect lessened. The rest was useless information. Only Auris Health press conference matters!

Auris health will sell ADAM to the whole world. 5 months from now, the value will rise till 728. With my 388851 stocks, I will be able to sell everything for 283 million.

283 - 143 = 140 million;

28% of 140 = 39,2 million;

283 - 39,2 = 243,8 million;

Ending up with 243,8 million is not bad. Still quite straining to multiply my money even though knowing the future. I somehow hope to not have to wait all this time. Training and school are important, but it also is boring.´
