The future in my hands
“Let me see... there. Still.”
I found an icon in the corner of my computer for home trading system (HTS). I double-clicked it. Soon, a message came out.
"This is an older version. Please download the new program. ’
Exactly. It's natural that it hasn't been used in almost a few years. I downloaded the new program according to the instructions in the message and recalled the past for a moment.
It's been three years? Four years? ’
The first time I became interested in stocks was when I had only a few sergeants left. I had no time left to do anything and I took any books from the base library, including stock-related books. Ordinary people described the stock as a 'shortcut to defeat’, but the views of the author of this book (although, of course, from the point of view of selling the book) were different.
‘... stock is a game that predicts the future. In the future, when a company grows in sales and expands its business, stock prices naturally rise... Some say gambling is a test of luck, but that's not true. Stocks include gambling elements, but that's not a big part of it. In the long run, stocks are a game won by the wise. ’
And when I saw that, I...
"The game of predicting the future... the game won by the wise... shall I try it?" ’
I thought about it. After I got rid of the army, I had a little time left to return to school and made some money in Alvaro. And then I saved up one million won to go back to school. I took it to the stock market. And I soon realized. The man who led me down the path of stocks said stocks weren't gambling, but I thought they were. Legitimate gambling operated by the state.
‘No matter how wise a man may be, he cannot fully predict the future... so it is a gamble. It's a gamble where the casino owner is the country... instead of the dealer, the country is taxed. ’
And the point of gambling was to have fun. There's nothing like gambling in the world. A few hundred thousand won blew away, but I was so depressed that I was never happy to rise. I used to enjoy other games, but since I started stocks, other games have become enough that I don't want to talk about them.
Since then, I've had a fierce stock in school. I bought liquor and tried the upper limit. Don't ask me, I bought liquor and received the lower limit. I bought a tactician to ride the rollercoaster, bought a casual drink and buried him quietly.
It's been a year. The remaining amount in the account was only 1.1 million won, earning 10%. It was not a bad grade for beginners, but it was also bad enough to say that it was just good. It was due to Kospi's only 10% return on the market that year.
"I told you to work hard... but it's like having a monkey pick any sport..."
The results were a little disappointing, but I still got something. It was because I understood what capitalism was, and I was able to taste people's desires, their fears, their hopes and their hopes. Stocks were more fun there than anything else. Now that you've enjoyed the game and tasted 10% of the proceeds, you'll have to call it a very successful game.
I'd like to do more.
But for only a year, I lost my stock there because I had to go up to fourth grade and start preparing for a job.
“That was... four years ago... Time flies...”
As I look back in time, the installation of new HTS was completed on my computer. I double-clicked it to get inside. HTS is the new version, so the interface has changed a lot. Nevertheless, a few things remained the same, so the settings that I touched in person, such as the list of 'interests’, remained.
'Let's see... how are you? ’
I looked around the sport.

The sport I was interested in was one I had traded in once. I searched the memory one by one from the top. First, it is one of the two home appliances companies in LC Electronics Korea. I got it recommended by a stockbroker, that's all. Washing machines, TV and A/C appliances are world-class companies, but recent Chinese companies seem to reflect a bit of castration difficulty.
The second event is Combuville. It's an unforgettable sport for me. Comtoville is a mobile game producer whose stock price had skyrocketed due to the then-Summers Battle. I used to be interested in playing games, but I also want to invest to be ‘fun’. I remember making about 300,000 KRW double my return. Ace, actually, of the shares I bought.
The third stock is Andromeda Games. This also increased the stock price by giving up mobile games by riding on the target in Combuville. I also bought it hoping that the stock price would go up like Cumberville. I remember a little loss when the game crashed. But strangely enough, Andromeda Games doesn't have a stock price.
Is that a bug? ’
Double-click and nothing comes up.
"HTS is new. Why are you doing this? Do you...
It wasn't until I searched "Andromeda Games" in the search box that I realized why.
‘Andromeda Games has been accumulating for 4 consecutive years. Inappropriate Audit Opinion'
Screening for the publicly traded annulment of the Andromeda Games... has concluded that Kosdaq is on lockdown. ’
"to the back of the history of the medium-sized game company Andromeda."
“Phew.”
Andromeda Games was a commercial abolition after a series of deficits.
‘It's been four years since anything's happened. ’
Even more surprising was the following stock PJY entertainment:
Twenty thousand won? I think it was... 5,000 won back then. ’
I looked at the chart. I remember correctly: PJY Entertainment's stock price, which was about KRW 5,000 four years ago, went up daily for the last two years and took 20,000 KRW.
What's going on? ’
I looked for an article.
"Double Up Girls This Single Is also an Invitational Parade."
"Number one on the Japan Double-Up Girls' Oricone Chart."
‘Collaboration with PJY, leader of the Double Up Girls’
Double-Up Girls I know is a girl group.
‘Ah, the Double Up Girls. This is PJY Entertainment. ’
It is a superpopular idol group about three years after its debut. A multinational group of members of South Korea, Japan and Taiwan, the Double Up Girls have recently entered Japan and have been at the top of their stock price.
If I thought the Double Up Girls were part of this company, I'd buy it, too.
I changed my appetite by moving the mouse cursor. Suddenly, I remember the phrase that was written in the stock book that I first read.
‘Stocks are a game that ultimately predicts the future. ’
When I think about it, I get a happy smile. The future. You don't have to predict. The future is in my hands.
