今天又超过4000家公司下跌，大跌的公司其实并不多，但最近的盘面，就是持续的阴跌，其难受程度，远不如4月给人一个痛快。 从10月至今，市场超过3000家公司是大跌的，涨10个点以上的公司1100家（10个点以内可以理解为震荡行情）。如果我们按10月至 今的区间最高价算到昨天收盘价，回撤10个点以上的公司有3300家，回撤超过15个点的有2049家，回撤超过20个点的有1024只。 所以，这段时间，虽然上证指数回撤并没有多少，但应该不少人的回撤是很大的。 如果配了港股，那会更加悲剧，因为就恒生科技指数来说，最高下来回撤了近20%，个股回撤2、30个点的一抓一大把，说港股一脚 已经踏入熊市，都不算过分的。 这就引出了一个灵魂问题：牛市到底还在不在？ 我们从这波回撤的原因，当前的市场环境来讨论这个问题。 01 高位很高，低位不济 10月至今这波回撤，要说原因的话，我觉得就是8个字，高位很高，低位不济。 10月之前，创新药猛猛涨了一波，半导体猛猛涨了一波，AI猛猛涨了一波。这些方向的估值都非常高，如果没有更新的进展来打鸡 血，震荡消化估值是不可避免的。像光模块方向因为实不实又被美帝那边的进展打下鸡血，还有铜铝也加上了 ...
