之前很多人谈生育率的时候都会提到高房价，教育费用高，但事实是可能都到不了那一步。相比从前，过于舒适且精彩的单身生活，让年轻人连恋爱都懒 得谈了。 …… 今天的a股成交量进一步萎缩，只有4700亿了，比昨天又低了一点，咱也不知道缩量的尽头在哪，也许明天还能再低一点。 通常极致的缩量伴随着极致的低价，这个说法在比较大的范围区间内是有效的，历史上很多中长期阶段的低点都是缩量跌出来的，所以这几天的趋势不是 坏事，可能是一种有效探底的市场行为。 这个时候国家队最好不要再拉沪深300救市，没有必要，只会浪费市场更多的时间。其实之前的且战且退已经铺下了足够厚的安全垫，你们可能都没意识 到大盘已经不声不响的来到了2850，如果是快速下跌到这个位置，股民们多半会鬼哭狼嚎，诚惶诚恐，但现在温水煮青蛙，一个个都淡定如常。 今天躺按摩椅的时候听一个小宇宙的节目，大致内容讲的是日本年轻人为什么都不愿意谈恋爱，整体出现了"性萧条"。因为按摩椅一个默认疗程是20分 钟，所以我就听了前20分钟。 大致内容就是30年前的日本青年男女，谈恋爱的占比2/3，单身空窗期的1/3，现在正好反过来，谈恋爱的1/3，单身空窗的2/3。这样的趋势在中国也在 ...

先更新一下昨天的热点，网络论坛神秘账号精确卡点预测涨停的事情破案了。深交所还专门为此发了一条公告。 字小如果你懒得放大图片看，我简单总结一下，肇事者叫陈果，他持有700股中通客车，上午的时候他把这700股挂在涨停价附近， 然后发帖称1点20分 涨停。结果后来真的涨起来了，他又反悔不想卖，把单子撤了。 由于他扰乱了市场，最后对他的处罚是禁止交易15天。 所以就是一个口嗨的散户碰巧蒙对了涨停的时间，不是操纵股价的游资大佬。也幸亏他不是游资大佬，否则操纵市场罪名落实，监管层就不会这么轻易的 放过他。 其实从我十几年前炒股起，股民在论坛里口嗨涨停就是一个传统娱乐节目，但以前就算偶尔蒙对也不至于发酵到舆情，大家哈哈一乐就完事。这次之所以 不同，是因为最近几天连续有焦点股票被蒙对（不是同一个网友），而且都是涨停跌停的极端行情，于是让股民开始担心背后有操纵股价的布局。监管层 出来调查澄清了也好，大家也不用再疑神疑鬼。 所以资金去拉中介服务板块是对的，只要成交量上来了，房价涨不涨中介就能抽佣，至于房地产板块这波底部起来已经反弹了29%，我觉得势能释放的差 不多了。 至于大盘走势，目前上证依然稳健向上，属于那种可以70分做多的 ...
