It's been 19 months since the virus pandemic began, and supply chain disruptions continue, making it

Last week I mentioned that we might witness the born of a super bull.A few of you pointed out some of the "red flags" I covered in the past few weeks that seem in a conflict of the super bull view.There are indeed a number of the red flags brewing and the most obvious is market breadth - the percentage of stocks above 200 MA is deteriorating, which is certainly a divergence with the index.Despite almost the 3 major indices hit historical high (Dow Jones, S&P 500 and NASDAQ) this year, not all stocks are as strong as these indices because only a handful of the stocks, in particular the big & mega cap stocks led the market into historical high. Many stocks especially the small cap (Russell 2000) stocks are laggards.What's

I wrote about the importance of having the right mental mindset in order to enact a perfect execution strategy in investing. In this article, we’ll explore a little deeper about devising a game plan on Averaging Down as an investment strategy. Do note that the focus is primarily on fundamentals first, technical second. As such, as and when we find that there is sufficient value in the company, we will consider purchasing and will use technical to aid our entry and exit positions. Is Averaging Down an Effective Strategy: First, you need to have resources or what we often termed it as warchest. In an ideal world where we have unlimited warchest, that would be nice. In a real world, many of us have a limited resource. Our funds are likely to be limited and even so, we want to c

本周，中美均公布了通胀数据。 先看中国方面，7月份居民消费价格同比上涨1.0%，环比上涨0.3%；7月份PPI同比上涨9.0%，环比上涨0.5%。 生产资料出厂价格涨幅 其中，生活资料出厂价格涨幅同比增0.3%，不过生产资料出厂价格涨幅同比12%，导致PPI增速与CPI的剪刀差进一步扩大至8%。 许导认为，由于上游原材料价格目前无法向下游有效传导，预计未来一个季度左右，PPI同比将会继续维持在7-9%的高位。随着生猪价格的企稳回升，第四季度CPI有望出现反弹，届时剪刀差有望缩窄。 因此，大家要深刻认识到，通胀高温不退，就意味着此前我们提及的周期性板块，诸如钢铁，煤炭，有色与化工的行情有望延续。与此同时，上下游价格传导的迟滞，明显限制了市场对于大消费类个股炒作的空间。为了缓和下游的成本压力，近期郭嘉出台一系列保供稳价的政策，包括抛售储备，关税调整，增加煤矿和铁矿石内矿产能等。 铁矿石VS螺纹钢 如上图所示，铁矿石与螺纹钢的价差近期已经逐步缩窄，甚至螺纹价格的涨幅已经有穿越铁矿的趋势，这也是为什么许导在课程直播里面，重点让大家关注这个板块未来的机会： 钢铁板块 当然，从7月份的社融数据来看，M2同比增长仅8.3%，远低于预期的8.7%，一定程度上引发了市场的担忧，此前的降准也许就是央妈先行一步的调控，随着7月份MPI新出口订单再度走弱，意味着今年第四季度出口压力会加大，同时也意味着，四季度降准的窗口有望再次打开。 因此，我们继续维持大A震荡的结构性行情观点不变，下周需要留意的时间窗口我写在隐藏口令好了，这里空间上就是要注意一下前文《0812：汽车制造霸屏，大盘短期压力骤显！》谈及的下降压力线和上升趋势线反压。 再看美国方面，7月份CPI同比增5.4%，与上月持平，核心CPI同比增4.3%，较上月放缓。看起来经济重启之后所带来的快速涨价阶段已经过去，不过通胀继续上行的风险仍然未解

Summary First, I briefly review the big news and highlights from PLTR's Q2 2021 business update.
