At 35, my 350,000 yuan in savings vanished, 150,000 yuan in debt loomed over me, my home was mortgaged, and I hadn't eaten a grain of rice in four days. When my bank balance had dwindled to just 2,550 yuan, everyone thought I would jump. Instead, I stared at the futures chart and smiled. No insider information, no golden finger, and no by-the-numbers power fantasy. I gathered publicly available financial data from across the internet and used a single position in soybean meal futures to fight my way out. This is a true account of a debtor's struggle to survive, and a real-world guide to turning information gaps into profit.
