Topics
Scott: 美国人现在可以押注总统大选,这虽然不好,但也很难阻止。赌博的泛化令人担忧,因为它会导致破产率上升,并且股票市场本身就是一种赌博形式。唐纳德·特朗普的媒体股票是预测大选结果最有趣的指标。 Ed: Kalshi 显示特朗普胜选概率为 57%,高于传统民调结果。预测市场并非完全准确,性别偏见会影响市场结果。预测市场容易受到操纵,其结果可能并不反映真实的选举情况。 Ed: 银行的投资银行部门收益增长,这表明并购活动有所回升。银行拥有多元化的业务,这有助于应对市场波动。利率下降促使并购活动增加。 Scott: ASML 的业绩指引下调导致芯片市场大幅下跌,这反映了市场对 AI 的预期过于乐观且不稳定。市场对 AI 的预期过于乐观且不稳定,即使是轻微的负面消息也会导致市场恐慌性抛售。亚马逊和谷歌投资核能,这表明核能产业正在复苏。2024 年的科技主题将是核能,大型科技公司已经认识到能源生产是其业务中的摩擦点。核能具有可靠性和可持续性,其废物可以回收利用。AI 的兴起将推动核能产业的复苏。
