Topics
Michael: 本期节目探讨了2021年GameStop股票的暴涨事件,以及由此引发的关于市场操纵和机构投资者与散户投资者之间对抗的阴谋论。事件始于散户投资者,主要在WallStreetBets等社交媒体平台上组织,他们注意到GameStop股票被大量做空,并试图通过集体买入股票来引发轧空,从而获利并对抗大型金融机构。这一行动导致GameStop股价暴涨,但随后Robinhood等券商限制了股票的购买,导致股价暴跌,引发了广泛的争议和阴谋论。Michael详细解释了做空、轧空以及券商限制交易的机制,并分析了事件中各方的行为和动机。他认为,虽然目前没有证据表明存在违法行为,但券商的行动对散户投资者造成了不公平的待遇。 Peter: Peter在节目中主要扮演旁观者的角色,他承认自己对金融市场不甚了解,起初对GameStop事件并不关注,只是在事件发展到一定程度后才开始了解。他表达了对事件中散户投资者遭遇不公平待遇的同情,并对事件中复杂的金融机制表示困惑。 Peter: Peter对金融市场运作机制不甚了解,对GameStop事件的理解仅限于散户投资者试图通过集体行动对抗做空机构投资者。他认同Michael的观点,即券商限制交易的行为是不公平的,并对事件中复杂的金融运作表示困惑。他将金融事件比作体育赛事,虽然人们对此很关注,但他本人并不理解其中的运作机制。
