据统计高达60%的NBA球员会在退役后的5年内面临破产的困境。为了避免重蹈覆辙,勒布朗詹姆斯在早年曾特意向沃伦巴菲特请教适合自己的理财之道。巴菲特当时给出的建议十分中肯,他劝阻詹姆斯不要把资金投入到经营餐厅等各种繁杂的实体生意中,而是推荐他采用每月固定从薪水中拿出一部分进行定投的模式,去购买例如$VOO和$SPY这样的美股大盘指数基金。巴菲特用own a piece of america来形容这种稳健的投资哲学。后来知名投资人段永平也充分领悟并吸纳了这一思想,他同样建议大家在投资组合上不要盲目折腾,简简单单买入标普就是最好的选择。
I recently noticed a paid research report published by Wedbush, in which the agency set the target stock price for $TSLA at 600. The core logic supporting this valuation expectation is that they predict Tesla and SpaceX will complete a merger by 2027. The report also mentioned that the recent collaboration between these two companies to create the Terafab chip factory is precisely the initial step to advance this merger plan. By the way, here's an interesting background detail: the agency's chief analyst has been a very famous Tesla bull in the industry. He proposed this merger viewpoint largely in response to concerns in the capital market about the potential dilution of Tesla investment funds if SpaceX were to go public.
Choosing to disclose such information at this particular moment makes one involuntarily sense that Trump is likely to take significant measures early Saturday morning. During this period, the U.S. stock market is very likely to remain stable and unharmed, but for Bitcoin, which has no weekends and trades continuously, it may have to undergo a test soon. On the other hand, the current visit to China is scheduled for May 14. From this, it can be inferred that the deadline regarding his personal plans about the expectations of war should be set for May, and there is still a whole month in April for the situation to evolve.
Analysis of the top 20 individual stocks in the US market called by analysts in the last 2 weeks (compiled from SeekingAlpha and traditional institutions), shared for your reference:
Duan Yongping fed his interview transcript to GPT, summarizing his own 'Duan Yongping's Investment Bible':
A one-sentence summary
Investing is essentially buying companies; you should buy companies that you truly understand, with good business models, good corporate cultures, and reasonable prices, and then hold them for the long term.
The eight core viewpoints
1. Buying stocks is buying companies
- Don’t treat stocks as codes and chips - Treat listed companies as a complete business - The fundamental difference between investing and running a business is not that great
2. Business model is the most important
This is one of the points he emphasizes the most.
His order of judgment is roughly:
right business right people right price
That is to say:
First, see if it’s the right business Then, see if it’s the right people doing it Finally, look at whether the price is appropriate
He is very straightforward:
A good business model = a model that can generate a lot of net cash flow over the long term.
3. A good company is not just a money-making machine; it must have pursuits beyond profit
This is the key distinction between a 'good company' and an 'ordinary company.'
In his view, truly great companies typically have these characteristics:
Not just chasing profits Have higher-level pursuits Persist in doing the right things long-term Not easily swayed by short-term temptations
He strongly agrees with Apple's logic:
The drive comes from making great products, not from thinking about making money first.
4. Corporate culture is extremely important, even more important than individual star CEOs
This is another main axis.
His sense of hierarchy is very clear:
5–10 years: CEO is very important 10–50 years: Board of Directors is very important Longer term: Corporate culture is the most important
The reason is:
Good culture attracts the right people Good culture creates organizational inertia Good culture allows the company not to rely on any one genius
So he particularly values the 'clockmaker' rather than the 'time-teller':
Time-teller: self-capable Clockmaker: can create a system that still works even when they are gone
5. Long slope and thick snow: A good business should be able to run long and grow larger
This is his classic metaphor for quality companies.
'Long slope, thick snow' means:
Slope long: the industry and company can develop long-term Snow thick: profit margin, moat, and user stickiness are sufficiently thick
Behind this are actually three judgments:
- Is the industry able to sustain for many years? - Does the company have competitive advantages? - Will this advantage continue to strengthen?
So he prefers:
- Apple - Moutai - Tencent - Google These types of companies that can accumulate advantages over the long term
6. Differentiation is the prerequisite for a good business model This point is very critical.
His judgments on many industries ultimately boil down to one sentence:
Without differentiation, it’s difficult to make big money long-term.
Meaning:
- If the product is highly homogeneous, it can only compete on price - As long as it relies on price competition, the industry is likely to become a poor business - Truly good companies usually meet certain needs of users that others cannot meet
So he doesn’t like the narrative of 'cost performance.'
In his eyes, many companies talking about 'cost performance' are actually looking for excuses for low prices.
7. Investment should be within your circle of competence; only invest in what you truly understand
This is also something he repeatedly says.
Essentially:
- If you don’t understand, don’t touch it - If you can’t understand the valuation, don’t force it - Don’t invest just because the market is hot, others are making money, or the concept sounds good
He doesn’t say all companies need precise modeling, but at least you should answer:
- How does this company make money? - Why can it continue to make money? - Why is it hard for others to take it away? - Will it likely still be around in ten years?
His changing attitude towards Amazon, Ejiao, Google, Tencent, etc., also illustrates this point:
It’s not about having a position first and then finding reasons; rather, it’s about understanding enough before taking action.
8. Long-termism: less fuss, less frequent trading, less swayed by prices
He clearly leans towards a very simple long-termism:
- Enjoying company growth is far better than being swayed by stock movements - Don’t always adjust your portfolio and stocks - Don’t keep an eye on market sentiment all day - Truly good companies are more important to hold than to fuss over His implicit logic is: - Good companies are inherently scarce - Truly understanding is even scarcer - Understanding and buying appropriately is even scarcer - So once found, don’t easily let go
The 'judgment framework' behind this set of viewpoints
If we compress his thinking into a judgment framework, it would be roughly:
First, ask 4 questions
1. What kind of business is this? 2. Is this business model good? 3. Are the people and culture of this company reliable? 4. Is the current price outrageous?
Then look at 4 long-term characteristics
- Is there differentiation? - Is there a moat? - Can it continuously generate cash flow? - Can it resist short-term temptations?
If we further refine his style, it would be these several tags
His investment style tags
- Focus on the essence of business - Focus on corporate culture - Focus on long-term cash flow - Focus on circle of competence - Light on market sentiment - Light on short-term price fluctuations - Light on grand narratives - Averse to speculative fuss
Elon Musk has set SpaceX's IPO for June, and the timing behind this choice is quite significant. This month not only marks his birthday but also coincides with Trump's birthday and a national celebration. It can be anticipated that Trump will likely celebrate with impressive candlestick trends, thus the overall investment sentiment in the U.S. stock market in June is surely promising.
Before this, there will be a series of major events to build up the emotional momentum. In April, we will witness the first flight of Starship V3, followed closely by orbital refueling operations in June, and the market's expectations are being fully heightened.
If you missed the opportunity to invest directly in SpaceX, there's no need to regret it; you might want to shift your attention to the following relevant concept stocks:
First is the core associated company, which is Tesla $TSLA.
Next is its main competitor; you can pay attention to Rocket Lab $RKLB, AST SpaceMobile $ASTS, and Firefly Aerospace $FLY.
In terms of partners, notable companies include Echostar $SATS, Planet Labs $PL, and Amazon $AMZN.
Companies related to the Starlink business include T-Mobile $TMUS, Qualcomm $QCOM, and FlyExclusive $FLYX.
Finally, the relevant holding companies include Google $GOOGL, Bank of America $BAC, Destiny Tech 100 $DXYZ, and Entrepreneur Private-Public Cross $XOVR.
Hello to all investor friends. Here, we have compiled the discussion popularity ranking of the US stock market from the Reddit community on March 24. As a communication platform favored by overseas retail investors, its discussion atmosphere is very similar to the domestic Dongfang Caifu stock bar, making it an excellent barometer for observing individual investor sentiment. From the current discussion focus, the fluctuations in the oil sector and the sharp decline of Micron Technology have become the absolute center of discussion, strongly occupying the top of the list. Below are the specific rankings and mentions details:
1st: $SPY (S&P 500 ETF), total mentions 512 times 2nd: $USO (United States Oil Fund), total mentions 149 times 3rd: $MU (Micron Technology), total mentions 129 times 4th: $MSFT (Microsoft), total mentions 123 times 5th: $AM (Antero Midstream), total mentions 94 times 6th: $SMCI (Super Micro Computer), total mentions 86 times 7th: $DTE (Detroit Energy), total mentions 85 times 8th: $QQQ (Nasdaq 100 ETF), total mentions 64 times 9th: $NVDA (NVIDIA), total mentions 61 times 10th: $ICE (Intercontinental Exchange), total mentions 51 times 11th: $MOS (Mosaic), total mentions 48 times 12th: $YOU (CLEAR Safety), total mentions 43 times 13th: $TSLA (Tesla), total mentions 41 times 14th: $UGRO (Urban-gro), total mentions 40 times 15th: $VOO (Vanguard S&P 500 ETF), total mentions 36 times 16th: $WTI (W&T Offshore), total mentions 35 times 17th: $CF (CF Industries), total mentions 34 times 18th: $ONDS (Ondas Holdings), total mentions 33 times 19th: $GLD (Gold ETF), total mentions 31 times 20th: $ES (First Energy), total mentions 29 times 21st: $LNG (Cheniere Energy), total mentions 29 times 22nd: $UNH (UnitedHealth), total mentions 28 times 23rd: $DJT (Trump Media), total mentions 25 times 24th: $VT (Vanguard Global Stock ETF), total mentions 24 times 25th: $SNDK (SanDisk), total mentions 24 times 26th: $IT (Gartner), total mentions 23 times 27th: $IQ (iQIYI), total mentions 23 times 28th: $LUNR (Intuitive Machines), total mentions 23 times 29th: $DOW (Dow Chemical), total mentions 22 times 30th: $PLTR (Palantir), total mentions 22 times

Trump's timing this time is indeed extremely shrewd. He specifically scheduled the posting time before the market opens on Monday morning, coinciding with an active phase of U.S. stock futures trading, and this move directly dealt a heavy blow to the short sellers. Stimulated by this news, the market atmosphere after the U.S. stock market opens will undoubtedly be thoroughly activated. As a result, today's decline in the Asian stock market seems completely meaningless.
Famous investor Duan Yongping recently showcased his impressive trading dynamics again. In the latest options investment, he made two notable moves regarding NVDA. First, he executed the Sell NVDA 170 put strategy, which successfully brought him a profit of 14,000,000, corresponding to an annualized return rate of 24%. At the same time, he also made a layout for Sell NVDA 190 call, which also yielded substantial gains, successfully earning a profit of 7,000,000, with an annualized return rate as high as 64%.
Just lit up the screen to check the latest market dynamics, but what came into view was a scene of various assets plummeting across the board.
What is quite surprising is that this wave of decline has swept not only high-risk assets with high volatility, but even the safe-haven assets that are usually seen as a refuge for funds have not been spared from the turmoil.
In the face of this rare situation where everything is falling, what exactly is the reason behind the severe fluctuations in the entire market?

It seems that HSBC has also started to reduce relevant benefits recently. I just noticed that the benefits of the Elite Credit Card have undergone significant changes, as the card has now canceled the mainland VIP lounge service. Meanwhile, the previously popular concierge car benefit for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau region now has a quite high threshold, requiring a spending of $8000 to enjoy it. It's worth noting that at the beginning of this year, the condition for obtaining the second concierge car service was just modified to require a spending of $1000, but now this standard has been significantly raised to $8000. For cardholders, the obvious reduction in benefits is indeed very regrettable.

Recently, I have systematically organized the latest investment assessments from several heavyweight experts in the Lujiazui financial circle for everyone. To facilitate reading, I have integrated their core viewpoints by theme.
Regarding the future direction of China's core assets and A-shares, Gao Shanwen pointed out that the value reassessment process of Chinese assets has not yet concluded, suggesting that investors remain patient and wait for the final return of their value. Chen Guo also holds an optimistic attitude, clearly stating that the bullish pattern of the A-share market continues, and overall, the investment opportunities currently contained far exceed the potential risks.
In terms of specific industry configurations and investment main lines, Zhang Yu emphasized that the current macroeconomic structure is undergoing continuous differentiation, and the midstream manufacturing sector will become the core main line in the future. Fu Peng proposed that investors should actively embrace the AI track and dividend assets with high dividend characteristics, while clearly reminding everyone to resolutely stay away from the real estate bubble.
Regarding commodity and cross-market asset allocation adjustments, Hong Hao predicted that gold and other commodities will usher in a long-term bull market, hence he suggests moderately reducing holdings of US dollar assets. Li Bei also adheres to the investment philosophy of "cycle is king," emphasizing that when market sentiment falls into panic, it is the perfect time to boldly buy commodities.
As for risk prevention and bottom warehouse defense strategies, Dongwu Chen Gang provided prudent advice, suggesting that a solid foundational warehouse should be constructed through bond allocation and retaining some cash, in order to calmly respond to severe fluctuations in external markets.
I wonder if the deep insights from these industry bigwigs resonate with your investment thinking.
