Trading Yesterday Novels & Stories

The New York Stock Exchange closing bell was usually a shrill, annoying sound. Tonight, to Vespera Vane, it sounded like a symphony. She stood on the expansive terrace of the Hale Fortress, the wind whipping the hem of her crimson silk robe. Inside the glass-walled living room, the massive screen displayed the final numbers for the day. THORNE ENTERPRISES (THRN): $42.15 (-38.4%) It was a bloodbath. A massacre. In eight hours of trading, nearly half the value of Lysander’s legacy had evaporated. The market cap had bled billions.

The day I was discharged, the sun was shining perfectly. Riley came to pick me up and froze for a moment when she saw me tossing every reminder of Luna into the trash. "You really let it all go?" she asked. I nodded, lifting my face to the brilliant sunlight and taking a deep breath of the sweet, freeing air. "Riley, I want to go for a walk." We didn't head home. Instead, we drove straight to the beach. I stared out at the endless stretch of ocean. The salty breeze whipped through my short hair, carrying away the last shadows of the past from my heart.

Second was happened awhile ago when I told her that Vaughn was in Belinda's house and his a Buenasesca. Kaya lang, bakit noong ipinagpaalam ako nina Belinda na isasama nila ako doon sa pagdiriwang na hindi naman naging maganda ang kinalabasan ay bigla na lamang siyang pumayag na isama ako? Does it mean that she didn't knew that we're going there yesterday? But it's impossible. I remember she asked me what happened there when morning came.

Zeb's pov. I left my father's house with unclear thoughts about me and Raven's situation. My dad would beg to disagree with all my plans. I understand him and I consider his advice, but that doesn't mean I will follow it. I have my own plans. I just took a long shower before bedtime. I find time to relax myself and think of something that could make me feel good. Have a good sleep and wake up early. "Nate, is everyone ready? I was on the phone talking to Nate. I cancelled all the meetings, and I announced that day to be a special meeting day since it was Saturday. I need to meet all the employees of the Dream High Company with regards to the vacation abroad."

I didn't mean to listen, but the shop was small and their voices carried. "I told you to short the energy sector," the tall one said. "Three days ago. You argued." "Nobody saw the Fed announcement coming," the balding one shot back. "That's not analysis. That's bad luck." "Bad luck doesn't lose thirty thousand in an afternoon. Bad calls do." I pulled the hard drive and connected it to the shop terminal. While the diagnostic ran, my eyes drifted to the screen of the laptop's twin, still open on the counter. It showed a trading platform.

"You're right. I'm sorry. Old habits." "I know," Vivienne said, softening. "I have them too. I caught myself checking the trust's overnight trading positions yesterday morning before I even opened my eyes properly." "Did you find anything concerning?" "Nothing that couldn't wait," Vivienne said, "which was precisely the point I was trying to make to myself."

He looked up briefly. "After everything that's been visible in the past year?" he said. "Yes. They see a company that survived something it shouldn't have survived and is being run by someone who understands why it matters." He went back to his notes. "That's not nothing. In the current climate it's actually quite a lot." The trading windows that mattered most were the pre-market hours — the period between four and nine in the morning when institutional purchases could clear before the regular session opened and the movement could be absorbed into the day's ordinary price action without creating the spike that would signal coordinated activity.

"Beautiful right?" I couldn't put a smile on my face . I still don't understand anything. I just look at the sunset. Hoping that it was all a dream. "Eliza, can you be the same person that I was dating yesterday?" I seriously look at her face. She smiled back at me and said, "Yes, I'll try my best". Later that evening, I go to the laundry shop to wash my dirty clothes and luckily I found Riley waiting for his clothes to dry.

“Why is the trading board bleeding red?” Casandra’s voice sliced through the executive floor before sunrise had fully broken over Jakarta. She strode into the operations center, heels striking the polished floor like warning shots. Screens lined the walls, flashing graphs, numbers, alerts, and market headlines. Every face in the room turned pale. Levia hurried toward her, tablet clutched tightly in both hands. “Our stock dropped eight percent in the first twenty minutes of pre-market movement.” William entered right behind Casandra, still fastening the cuff of his shirt. “Eight percent doesn’t happen from nerves. What happened?”

The next morning, I brought the box with me to a courier service center. When I scanned the QR code to make my payment, a notification popped up saying I had insufficient balance. After checking my account, I realized that Zachary had transferred away the remaining 300 dollars I had left yesterday afternoon. That was the money I had saved up after two months of working at part-time jobs! "Hey, miss, hurry it up! People are waiting, you know!" the staff member at the counter urged impatiently.
