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

B: What is it?

A: Well, the stock market just took a huge plunge 1 and we’ve lost a lot of money!

B: What do you mean? What happened?

A: There are many factors that weigh in, but NASDAQ is down 200 points, the DOW JONES indicator 2 also suffered!  Our portfolio 3 is worth half of what it was worth points week ago.

B: How is this possible? You are supposed to be talking to our stockbrokers 5 and making sure that our securities and investments are safe and making a profitable return!

A: 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 6 to cut our loses and reinvest in emerging markets.  We could potentially make this tragedy work for us and make us think utside the box.



B: 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!

B: 你是什么意思?怎么了?

A: 有很多因素的作用,但是纳斯达克下降了200点,道琼斯指数也下落了很多,我们的投资市值只有一周前的一半。

B: 怎么可能?你应该和我们的股票经纪人谈一下并确保我们的投资是安全的,并挣到利润。

A: 我知道。我们没料到牛市会突然变成熊市。另外你还有很多高收益的债券和政府债券,它们可以流通从而弥补我们的损失并重新投资市场。我们可以掌控好不利的局面,并使我们跳出固有的框框。
