Ariana Aspuru: 我观察到,过去投资者通常会在市场低迷时抄底,低价买入,高价卖出,以此获利。但如今,更多人选择持币观望,将资金储备在相对安全的资产中。这反映出市场环境的变化和投资者风险偏好的转变。 Crystal Herr: "买跌"策略在过去两年非常流行,因为市场下跌通常短暂,很快就会创下新高。但现在市场波动剧烈,这种策略不再有效。投资者尝试抄底,却发现股价几天后又下跌5%到10%,损失迅速累积。因此,在无法判断市场底部的情况下,抄底变得非常冒险。 Julia Carpenter: 大量资金流入货币市场基金等现金投资,这清楚地表明,美国投资者目前更倾向于寻求传统意义上的安全资产,而不是冒险投资股市。这是因为他们过去常用的投资策略,比如"买跌",已经不再奏效,他们正在寻找新的投资策略。 Crystal Herr: 许多投资者选择观望,等待市场稳定后再进行投资。一位投资者用"试图抓住正在下落的刀子"来形容"买跌"策略的风险,他选择在市场平静下来后再进行投资。他甚至在关税政策公布前卖掉了大部分股票,计划持有大量现金。许多投资者都有类似的计划。 Ariana Aspuru: 投资者对市场充满不确定性,这导致他们更倾向于持有现金。市场波动、关税不确定性、经济衰退的担忧以及无力感,都促使投资者寻求流动性强的资产,以便在需要时能够快速变现。 Crystal Herr: 目前,投资组合的多元化至关重要。投资者需要谨慎选择投资标的,特别关注公司的资产负债表,因为市场环境已经发生了变化,以往那种股市大幅上涨的情况已经不复存在。
