It's been 9 days now. During these 9 days, there has been a lot of information, many false reports, but one basic fact remains unchanged:
1. Iran is not that weak;
2. The US is not that strong.
As for how many US military bases in the Middle East have been destroyed, or how much of Israel and Iran's mainland has been bombed, those are no longer important.

Actually, since the 9 days, the intensity of the war has decreased; both sides' bombings are le

Nice! Recently got a Mac mini base model, paired with that vintage docking station, and this setup feels really awesome. I couldn't help but show it off a bit.
The 16G + 256G budget Mac mini is now basically a lobster farming station.
Running 24/7 in low power mode, raising some small lobsters (running small models and automation tasks), maximizing cost performance.
Paired with the Wokyis M5 dock that looks like a Macintosh, both looks and functions are top-notch. The 256G storage anxiety is also solved, and the desktop looks better too.

A netizen asked Duan Yongping, after you buy a lot of company stocks, there will definitely be a period of significant stock price decline. How much did you lose at your worst, and how did you psychologically comfort yourself?
Duan Yongping said that after he bought Apple, there were several times when Apple dropped more than 40% from its peak, and even more times when it dropped 30%. He said he didn't pay much attention to it and didn't mind.
With decades of investment experience and many successful cases, Duan Yongping also couldn't buy at the lowest point or sell at the highest point, and h

When is the best time to bottom fish in the US stock market? What am I waiting for?
First, I want to share some data with you:

You now hold 10 million, aiming for an annualized return of 15%-20%. How would you invest?
Is there a strategy that can face all economic conditions?
My suggestion is, for ordinary people, go straight to—an all-weather investment strategy.
This strategy, even in China, has been proven in live trading. Bridgewater Fund China relied on this approach in 2024 to deliver an impressive 35% return, far surpassing the 14% of the CSI 300.
This concept, proposed by Ray Dalio in 1996, revolutionized traditional asset allocation—it emphasizes risk-based allocation rather than capital proportions, allowing
