Overview

In the years leading up to the 2008 financial collapse, the markets rewarded conviction-and punished doubt. Dan believed he had found the formula. Living in Toronto and trading S&P 500 futures through the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Dan walks away from a stable career after early success convinces him that discipline and patience are enough. Under the guidance of Anisa, a charismatic trading mentor who believes markets only move upward, Dan commits fully to the long side of risk. Profits come easily. Confidence hardens. A Jaguar with the number 666 becomes a symbol of triumph. Then the system fractures. As subprime debt metastasizes and institutions once considered untouchable begin to fail, Dan discovers that conviction without adaptation is indistinguishable from denial. Buying every dip, refusing to short, and holding through mounting losses, he watches his capital erode alongside the global financial system. When the S&P 500 finally bottoms at 666 in early 2009-marking the end of the collapse and the beginning of a new bull market-Dan is already empty. All that remains is the car. And the number. SPX 666 is a psychologically precise, financially grounded novel about certainty, leverage, and the quiet devastation of being right too early and wrong too long. It is a story of markets without morality, mentors without limits, and the brutal symmetry that emerges when belief collides with reality. This is not a story about greed. It is a story about faith-and the exact moment it fails.
