First of all, after watching the first episode, I knew that the hero was completely Steve cohen. Who's Steve cohen? If you are interested, you can check SAC, which used to be at the forefront of hedge fund performance list all the year round. In that year, it was investigated by the US Department of Justice and the SEC for insider trading, and a settlement agreement was finally reached. SAC paid a fine of $600 million to the SEC to settle the charges, and SAC was forced to turn into a family office and changed its name to Point72. The founder, flagship, lighthouse, shepherd, Morningstar and spokesperson of this awesome company are Steve cohen. China legendary trader Jiang Ping once worked for SAC. I would also like to add that a role in the play was fired by the leading actor and finally settled by the psychotherapist. It looks like a replica of Matthew Matomaa. Mathew, a former SAC trader, was sentenced to nine years' imprisonment in this insider trading dispute and became a scapegoat. At the same time, Cohen is also an avid art lover. He collected many masterpieces, such as Picasso's Le Rafe. He also has a foundation named after him and his wife, which is mainly devoted to medical care, children's health, education, veterans' service and art protection. There are many paintings hanging on the wall of the axe capital in the play. He also donated money to the museum and provided university scholarships to the families of the victims in 9 1 1. Is it very similar? It is rumored that Cohen also personally trades from time to time, hoping that a great god will work at Point72 to verify it.
After watching the third episode, the protagonist tried every means to force his way into the board of directors of that snack company, crowding out the CEO and demanding that the company change back to the previous formula and cut expenses. Is this story familiar? If it isn't another fund tycoon, carl icahn! Icahn is the most praised, but what scares listed companies is his usual means: the secondary market increases its shares, forcibly enters the board of directors after reaching a certain proportion, and asks the board of directors to dismiss unqualified managers, and then makes the company's performance rise, the stock price rise and leave. He used this method to deal with Yahoo, Motorola, Apple and so on.
After watching the fourth episode, the hero was squeezed everywhere to borrow tickets. Wait a minute. Is it deja vu? Isn't this bill ackman shorting Herbalife (stock code: HLF)? Ackerman believes that Herbalife's business model is illegal. This direct selling model is a scam and will eventually fail. Therefore, short is resolutely short, and it is carl icahn who opposes him. They once exchanged telephone calls for half an hour on the live program of American Consumer News and Business Channel, and finally Ackerman's Pershing Plaza capital was lost in the air 1 100 million. In the end, Ackerman was also investigated by the FBI because he was suspected of manipulating the stock price in this long and short war. I would like to add that the hero in the play is very similar to bill ackman in tone, body language, height, figure and temperament. Interested friends can search Ackerman's interview video for comparison.
In the first four episodes, the protagonist combines three financial tycoons, and he is more looking forward to what stories will be staged later.
