Understanding The Stock Market

Sorry to bother you sir, but I have some bad news.

先生，打扰一下，不过有个坏消息。

What is it?

什么事？

Well, the stock market just took a huge plunge and we’ve lost a lot of money!

股市暴跌了，我们亏了很多钱！

What do you mean? What happened?

什么意思？发生了什么？

There are many factors that weigh in, but NASDAQ is down 200 points, the DOW JONES indicator also suffered! Our portfolio is worth half of what it was worth points week ago.

有很多因素，但纳斯达克跌了200点，道琼斯指数也受挫了！我们的投资组合价值只有一周前的一半。

How is this possible? You are supposed to be talking to our stockbrokers and making sure that our securities and investments are safe and making a profitable return!

这怎么可能？你不是应该跟股票经纪人沟通，确保我们的证券和投资安全，并且盈利吗？

I know sir! We didn’t expect a bull market to become a bear market all of a sudden. On the other hand, you still have some high yield trash bonds and government bonds that will give us enough liquidity to cut our loses and reinvest in emerging markets. We could potentially make this tragedy work for us and make us think outside the box.

我知道，先生！我们也没想到牛市突然变成熊市。不过，您还有一些高收益垃圾债券和政府债券，能提供足够流动性来止损，再投资新兴市场。或许我们能把这个危机转化为机会，换个思路。

Do what you have to do! One other thing, don’t tell the rest of the stockholders about this. If they find out, it’s the end of this company!

去做你该做的事！还有，别告诉其他股东。如果他们知道了，公司就完了！
