一、1499，老登经济的破产 最近多个平台的茅台拼团价跌破建议零售价1499元，这是茅台史无前例的危机。 星空君说个暴论：这标志着老登经济的崩盘。 你先别拍桌子，听星空君娓娓道来。 茅台的基本盘是谁？老登中的27.5%。 分子人类学（基因）证实，只有27.5%的解酒能力强大的人才能真正品味到酒精的美味。另有30%的人可以附和，但并没有那么痴迷。 因为众所周知的原因，在中国，长期以来是这27.5%中的一部分人主导职场。 喝酒尤其是喝白酒几乎成了整整几代人"团建"的唯一项目。 但是，当75后乃至80后成长起来后，提拔的标准逐渐多元化，酒量不再是重要的标准。 这批人提拔了以后，一方面酒精爱好者为少数，另一部分他们更注重小家庭，不会拿出大量的时间和精力去饮酒应酬。 很多茅台的拥护者痴心妄想年轻人依然会接盘茅台，核心原因还是在于基因。 让他沉迷其中的茅台，对于大部分人来说，并没有那么大的吸引力。基因的原因，让他理解不了这么好喝的东西居然不受欢迎。 随着年轻人整体基数的减少，以及业余生活的多元化，曾经气贯长虹的茅台，就是崩盘的老登经济。 有些酒精爱好者苦口婆心的对星空君说，酒是唯一的合法多巴胺补剂，一定会有市场的。 大哥 ...

Core Viewpoint - Despite the focus on large tech stocks and AI-related companies, traditional oil refining companies have seen significant gains, with their performance nearly matching that of leading AI infrastructure firms like Nvidia and Broadcom [1][2]. Group 1: Market Performance - Major refining companies such as Valero Energy Corp and Marathon Petroleum Corp have seen stock price increases of at least 30% this year, outperforming approximately 90% of S&P 500 constituents, including tech giants like Microsoft and Apple [2]. - Smaller refining firms like Par Pacific Holdings Inc. and CVR Energy Inc. have experienced even stronger stock performance, with Par Pacific's stock doubling and CVR Energy's stock rising by 83% year-to-date [2]. Group 2: Profitability Factors - The profitability of global refining companies has significantly increased due to falling crude oil prices and stable gasoline prices, leading to expanded profit margins [3]. - The market anticipates further declines in Brent crude oil prices, which could enhance the earnings outlook for refineries and catalyze additional stock price increases [1][9]. Group 3: Energy Sector Dynamics - The weight of energy stocks, including oil and gas, in the S&P 500 index has been steadily declining, currently accounting for less than 3% [6]. - The so-called "Magnificent Seven" tech giants dominate the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indices, comprising about 35% of their market weight, while also benefiting from the AI boom [6]. Group 4: Future Outlook - Analysts suggest that as oil prices decline, it is typical to sell large oil company stocks and buy refining stocks, which may have a "scarcity value" due to the limited number of new facilities being built [11]. - The recent proposal to exempt small refineries from renewable fuel standards could serve as a tailwind for the sector, contributing to stock price increases for mid-sized refiners [11]. - Factors such as attacks on Russian energy infrastructure, low diesel inventories, and unprecedented electricity demand from AI data centers create a unique bullish outlook for the refining sector over the next 6-12 months [12].
