Key Points and Arguments 1. **Market Adjustment and Investment Strategy** - Short-term market adjustments lack sufficient momentum, with a clear direction towards global economic recovery and loose monetary policies. Investors are advised to avoid panic selling and patiently wait for bottom-fishing opportunities, gradually increasing their positions [1][4]. 2. **Growth and Self-Controlled Sectors** - Priority should be given to growth sectors and self-controlled areas, such as **AI software and AI chips**, which are expected to see higher performance growth next year compared to this year.
