Topics
Scott: 本期节目讨论了对冲基金和高端健康疗法,认为两者都是富人追求优越感的体现,其回报率往往低于预期。他还预测特斯拉机器人出租车活动将令人失望,并对中国经济刺激计划的效果表示怀疑。 Ed: 他同意Scott对特斯拉机器人出租车活动的评价,并补充说摩根大通和富国银行的盈利好于预期,标普500指数牛市已持续两年。 Alice Han: 她认为中国政府不太可能推出大规模的经济刺激计划,因为中国债务水平高企,政府对财政风险更加谨慎。她还分析了中国房地产市场的风险,以及中国入侵台湾的可能性。 Alice Han: 中国政府不太可能推出大规模经济刺激计划,因为中国债务缠身,政府对财政风险更加谨慎。房地产市场风险巨大,家庭负债累累,房价下跌,投资和建设活动大幅下降,严重影响消费。虽然一些公司估值被低估,但仍存在投资机会。至于台湾问题,她认为入侵的可能性存在,但概率较低,时间点可能在2027-2028年,这取决于中美两国的政治局势和中国的军事实力;人口因素也可能影响中国的决策。她认为习近平结合了毛泽东和邓小平的政治和经济遗产,其动机是恢复中国的民族自豪感和国家统一。专制社会并不总是比民主社会具有更高的经济增长潜力,但中国的中央集权体制使其能够有效地应对经济风险。美国对华政策可能在未来几年保持连续性。
