Donnie quickly skimmed over these news items, what truly captured his attention was the newspaper's finance section.
As 1928 began, the United States stock market officially entered a bull market. To illustrate, look at General Motors: on Friday, the stock opened at 139.75 US Dollars per share, and within just two hours of trading, the price had risen to 144.25 US Dollars per share.
This means that since Thursday's close, anyone who purchased General Motors' stock had already secured gains of over 5 points. On this day, the total trading volume on the United States stock market was not high, not surpassing 1,200,000 shares, yet General Motors' stock accounted for nearly one-third.
When Donnie saw this news, he realized the United States stock market was nearing the end of its run.
Two years ago, Donnie had focused more on consolidating companies in Florida but hadn't forgotten to have Jesse Livermore invest Venus Bank's cash into the United States stock market.
