世界过于关注季度收益

1作者: Taikhoom201010 天前
似乎每个人都过于关注季度业绩——通常并没有什么实质性的变化,但人们却对此大做文章。 投资界存在两大阵营:一种人认为存在泡沫,另一种人认为一切只会涨。这两种观点都错了。泡沫是新技术浪潮的固有产物;每一次泡沫都不同,都有其自身的情况。你不应该因为预期泡沫而等待。你无法准确把握市场时机;你应该专注于寻找那些正在建立竞争壁垒,或者正在拓展或转型业务模式,但尚未完成这些举措的公司。你必须通过分析来弄清楚这一点。仅仅因为你认为苹果(AAPL)拥有强大的品牌就想通过投资它来跑赢指数,这是不可能的,因为其他所有人也这么认为。 认为一切只会涨的阵营,在批评那些认为存在泡沫的人时是有道理的,因为记忆中的抛售,或者某家公司业绩不佳。从技术上讲,基本面并没有改变,但更广泛的资本周期解释了为什么收益是不可持续和人为的,并且将会崩溃,而对新技术的强劲需求是因为公司不想错过机会;最初的热潮总会消退,数据中心积压订单是个谎言。关于资本周期的更多内容请看这里。 说了这么多,只是想告诉你,直接购买指数基金就好。

Everybody seems to care way too much about what happens in a quarter- nothing material usually, but people make a huge deal about it.<p>There are two camps in investing: those that think there is a bubble and those that think everything always goes up. There both wrong. Bubbles are inherent with a new wave of technology; each one is different and has its own circumstances. You should not wait for anything because you anticipate one. You cannot time the market well; you should focus on finding companies that either are in the process of developing a moat or adding or transitioning business models, but have not done any of these things yet. You have to analytically figure this out. There is no way to outperform the index by investing in AAPL because you think they have a great brand; so does everyone else.<p>The camp that thinks everything goes up is right to criticize the people that think there is a bubble because memory sold off, or a company had bad earnings. Technically, no fundamentals have changed, but the broader capital cycle explains why earnings are unsustainable and artificial and will collapse, and demand is high for a new technology because firms do not want to miss out; the initial buzz always comes down, data center backlog is a myth. More on the capital cycle here<p>This is a long way of saying just buy the index.
