If you want to get away from the real world, go to Hawaii, because the isolation can make you forget everything. If you want to get away from your real self, go to Las Vegas, because there you can be whatever you want Becoming a person

1. Why write this film review This

is the first time I write a film review, and I don't know how to write it, so just write those wonderful clips that can arouse my thinking, especially where it can be used as a reference for stock investment.

The best war film is to make people realize the cruelty of war, to make people oppose it, to cherish and maintain peace;

the best investment film is to make people aware of the risks of investment, and to seize opportunities on the basis of controlling risks. Stay away from the market when the opportunity arises. And "Blackjack" is one such movie.

In "Blackjack 21", the probability of profit from card counting is greatly increased through precise formula methods, which is very similar to the quantitative investment method in stock investment, and this girl also intends to write about it.

Due to the large amount of information, I plan to write it in two to three days.

2. At the beginning of

the movie, this movie does not have many big bowls. It is based on real events. This is a top student at MIT. He was accepted by the college, but the huge tuition and miscellaneous fees of 300,000 deterred him and was extremely troubled.

Math professor Mitch admires Ben's mathematical talent and has always wanted Ben to join his blackjack team, who goes to the casino to count cards and win big.
Ben, who is excellent in both character and study, was particularly ranked and worried about risks at first. Later, he couldn't stand the temptation of various interests of the professor, and finally decided to join, but there was one condition: he would wash his hands after earning 300,000 tuition fees.

3. What is blackjack?

This is a very popular card game abroad, just like the landlord in our country.

You and the dealer are opposites, just like the relationship between us and the dealer. He deals you 2 cards, the card is defined as 10 points, the person closest to 21 points wins, if it exceeds 21 points, you lose, and the same is true for the dealer.



It is also a very memory-testing game. The cards that are dealt are the past, and the cards that are not dealt are the future.

Have you seen the words "past" and "future"? Don't we deal with these two words every day when we invest in stocks? The fundamental information in F10 is the past, the price we buy is now, and we Hope to buy up is the future. Stocks go up when people expect a better future.

4. Investing confidence is very important, and blind confidence is dangerous

. Readers who often read this article should be familiar with "confidence", which is the most frequent word since the decline last year. Only when everyone is confident can they dare to buy, and when the market sentiment is active, there will be a profit-making effect, so that more people will enter the market, and the market will develop in depth.
Seeing that Ben was still hesitating, the professor said decisively: "The best thing about this game is that it can be defeated."


Confidence in the future is a quality that an investor must possess, but it must be built on doing On the basis of doing your homework, always remember three principles in investing:

the first principle is to control risks;

the second principle is to control risks;

the third principle refers to the above two

. When people talk about Buffett, they will inevitably say that Barkshire Hathaway, which he runs, has always dominated the position of the No. 1 high-priced stock in the United States, just like Kweichow Moutai of A-shares. The truth is that this is the worst case of Buffett investing.
At first, Buffett bought it because he wanted to wait for the performance to improve and sell it, but due to the pressure of overseas competition, the company has been unable to find a next home, and it fell into his own hands.

We Xiaosan said every day that we bought stocks and became a shareholder. This time Buffett was really stuck for a long time and forced to become a major shareholder. Later, by stripping waste textile assets and injecting high-quality assets such as insurance, it was slowly revitalized and became a well-known diversified investment company.

This girl has many friends who are hot money, and she also revealed in the communication that 7 out of 10 transactions can be successful, so she burns incense and worships Buddha, and this girl is no exception. Failure is not terrible, the key is to learn from it, to constantly sum up, to constantly optimize your investment system, and to make less of the same mistakes in the future, in order to achieve satisfactory returns.

Not blind confidence like a math professor. Every field has outstanding achievements, and it is not easy to make money in every industry, including the outstanding ones. For example, Xu Xiang was arrested for manipulating stock prices in the early stage. From a large number of reports, we can see that behind the brilliance, there are many things that he can do nothing.

5.

But I appreciate the professor's assessment of Ben:

Ben, you are not only talented in mathematics, you are also a calm person, you do not give in to feelings, you act logically. Ben, you were born to be this stuff.


I remember that 7 people were interning in an investment bank, and in the end 2 were left. My supervisor, who later became my investment enlightenment teacher, told me the reason for leaving me, calm down, have my own logic for investment, and can execute tasks as planned

6. I

often put some of my calligraphy in the article. This is a common problem for people who are engaged in art. If I want to show off in front of everyone, this girl will see how many people like it every 5 minutes to satisfy my little vanity. Heart, hehe.

Calligraphy from lowercase will definitely have a great influence on the formation of my character.

Now I wake up every day, I write for 2 minutes first, and then I will write for a while before going to bed when I do what I have to do for the day. I found that calligraphy can really overcome anxiety and fatigue. When writing, there is no clutter in my heart, and I can immediately calm down. Especially when a work is completed, the beautiful feeling it brings to me is even more refreshing than the climax.

Whether I finish writing a word or draw a picture, I will hang it on the front panel and stop to appreciate it for a long time, just like my own child, the more I look at it, the more I like it, and I don’t even let my family touch it. I have also communicated with other art lovers and found that everyone is like this. Two days ago, I uploaded a picture of ink bamboo and a big fish in the circle of friends. Someone wanted to buy it, and it was generous. I wanted to give it to him for nothing, but when I looked at my child, I still didn’t want to.

Although calligraphy makes me very calm, sometimes I get irritable and lose my temper, so I have to continue my retreat and practice.

People who write and draw are all very long-lived. In the age of lack of material conditions, Qi Baishi and Huang Hongbin are nearly a hundred years old, and the elderly should write more calligraphy. This girl found that in the past two years, many big bosses around me have stopped playing Buddhist beads, and they are all writing calligraphy and collecting them.

7.

Every night I make a plan for what to do the next day, write it down in a small notebook, and put it in my bag when I go out. After executing one, just tick it. Every time I tick the tick, I feel a sense of accomplishment. Sometimes there are unexpected situations, such as a friend coming, a party, etc. If it is not completed, I will make a mark and execute it the next day. I also have a yearly plan, which is then split into a monthly plan, a weekly plan, and a daily plan.

I have this habit since I was a child, and my father urged me to develop it every day. Later, the split of the plan was taught by the teacher when I participated in the physics competition in high school, and I have insisted on it until now.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that plan splitting can be applied to any field. For example, if you want to earn 1 million yuan in the remaining 4 months of 2016, then you will earn 250,000 yuan a month, 71,000 yuan a week, and 8,400 yuan a day. Just look for projects that make that kind of money in a day.

Calligraphy is the same. For example, I plan what level my calligraphy will reach in 3 years, and gradually subdivide it into every day. You see me posting works of different people and different fonts every day. In fact, most of the time, this girl practiced a single word many times like the picture below, until it was similar to a copybook, and she wrote it down quickly. After a lot of trouble in the society, this girl realized that slow is fast.


I also asked my students to write a trading plan according to the three steps mentioned in the class. Most of them did a good job. A few people may be too busy and have never written them, at least they have never shared them with me. Generally, share plans Yes, I will point out the deficiencies to him, and what knowledge points need to be strengthened. Such students can easily graduate.

8.

Write off topic, go back to the movie.

Ben passed the professor's devil training with unrivaled results. He earned 200,000 dollars for the first time when he tried a knife, and swept away nearly astronomical millions of dollars several times. The huge success gave Ben a taste of money. With the embrace of the school flower and the respect of others, Ben, who gradually swelled inwardly, was lost in the whirlpool of the casino. The jealousy of the team members and the desire for more power and sharing made the conflict between him and the professor more and more intensified. At the same time, casino security consultants are also aggressively looking for them...


At the beginning of the story, I made this woman think so much. What inspiration will Ben have on our investment in Las Vegas? Teamwork, quantitative investment, countermeasures, never tire of cheating... There are too many, I am hungry to write, Ben The girl is going to eat, continue tomorrow.

    1. From inferiority complex to self-confidence to conceit, and finally return. 2. The loser is always greed. 3. The ending is so handsome that the professor's jaw will drop. 4. The poor and lowly in the movie are always true friends. They will always forgive you when you abandon them and learn a lesson and come back to beg them. 5. You really don't know what kind of decadent and turbulent youth a person who seems to be moderate and decent once had. Is that not a waste of life?

  • [Jill tells Ben a little history as to how she learned to play Blackjack]

    Jill Taylor: Every night after dinner, my father and I would play. I knew basic strategy before I was, like, nine years old. If I won, he'd take me out for ice cream.

    Ben Campbell: And what if he won?

    Jill Taylor: [Jill smiles] He'd still take me out for ice cream.

    Ben Campbell: [Ben chuckles] Oh, yeah. Sure, yeah, he's your dad.

  • [Ben talks about how he learns to count cards]

    Ben Campbell: [narrating] Plus 16. Sweet 16. Every card had a value. A high card, minus one. A low card, plus one. The rest, zero. I was studying all day, every day. But it wasn't physics, chemistry and engineering. I was back to simple math, used in ways I could never have imagined. The team had a system. And to go unnoticed, we created a whole new language. Words were numbers, and numbers were words.
