@Josh Mandell : 我观察到MicroStrategy的风险模型正在发出警报信号。银行系统尚未充分认识到比特币作为优质抵押品的价值,这导致对MicroStrategy股票的风险评估存在偏差。比特币价格波动剧烈,可能导致MicroStrategy股票在短期内出现大幅波动,甚至可能面临银行的强制平仓。此外,MicroStrategy股票的期权定价也存在问题,其高波动性可能导致系统性风险。 我通过一个例子来说明期权交易的风险:购买MicroStrategy股票本质上是购买看涨期权,而购买该股票的看涨期权则相当于购买双重杠杆期权。这种双重杠杆效应会放大风险,尤其是在比特币价格剧烈波动的情况下。 MicroStrategy股票的保证金要求增加,可能导致市场出现短期抛售,但随后会反转。一旦市场开始反弹,这将引发多米诺骨牌效应,导致市场出现剧烈波动。 我个人通过交易MicroStrategy股票来增加其持股数量,并认为这种策略能够在不额外投入资金的情况下获得更高的回报。我将继续利用市场波动性来增加我的持股数量,目标是在年底前持有10万股。 MicroStrategy股票的衍生品市场将推动其股价上涨,并使其成为比特币的衍生品。MicroStrategy股票的流动性将超过比特币交易所的流动性,因为它提供了一种更规范和更容易获得的投资比特币的方式。 期权交易中的希腊字母(Delta和Gamma)解释以及Gamma挤压的机制。Delta代表期权合约到期时处于盈亏平衡点的概率,而Gamma则代表Delta随价格变化而变化的速度。Gamma挤压是指在期权到期日临近且市场价格接近执行价格时,Delta变化速度加快,导致市场价格剧烈波动。 MicroStrategy股票被纳入QQQ指数是其被纳入标普500指数的关键一步,但可能需要满足某些条件。 MicroStrategy股票在1月16日至17日期间可能出现价格上涨,原因是期权到期日临近。 我相信MicroStrategy最终将成为标普500指数中排名前五的公司之一,但这个过程可能需要数年时间。 @Cedric Youngleman : 作为主持人,我主要负责引导访谈的进行,并提出一些问题,例如MicroStrategy股票的风险与机遇,以及比特币对全球金融的影响等。我没有表达具体的观点,而是通过提问来引导Josh Mandell阐述其观点。
