Chapter 180:
Frank was an ordinary worker with a dual-income household. His mother, who lived next door, took care of their child, while he and his wife each had a job.
Both of them working naturally meant they earned an additional income, and it was quite significant. If this situation continued for several years, it would amount to a substantial sum.
Frank's job sometimes involved dealing with the affluent clients of Bupayne. He knew better than most that getting rich overnight in Bupayne wasn't just a myth. After discussing it with his wife, they approached a financial company and opened an account.
It was worth mentioning that for ordinary people, trading stocks and securities was a complicated matter. Manual matching processes could cause anyone to miss the best trading opportunities. To achieve quicker and more stable matching, one would need a private trading seat.
However, the cost of a trading seat had soared to nearly a million, putting it beyond the reach of ordinary people. As a result, they had to rely on financial brokerage firms to manage their accounts, incurring various fees in the process.
Yet, over time, they still made a significant profit.
When the financial market was on an upward trend, even the worst stocks could perform miracles, let alone the carefully selected stocks by the brokerage firm.
Soon, their account balance grew from a few thousand to nearly ten thousand, which was a substantial amount for an ordinary family.
However, the market recently became increasingly difficult. Except for a few heavyweight stocks that continued to rise, the upward momentum of other stocks had gradually slowed down.
