大家好，我是海豚君！ 舞完了大棒的特朗普，先是来一个90天的休止符，接着这两天突然跟"换魂"了一样，开始对包括中国在内的国家频频示好，市场原本预期平均税率都要到20%上 下，现在似乎川普温和之后，觉得最终关税税率可能也就是5-10%之间。 这种情况下，市场从Risk-off模式又重新进入了Risk-on模式，但这一波特朗普政府的神操作之后，美股市场会一笑泯恩仇，接着4月2日解放日之前的节奏继续"蹦 迪"吗？ 一、4月2日之前 vs之后，到底什么变了？ 但这次特朗普的极限操作，让市场意识到了，疫情以来美国的繁荣主要是联邦政府的加杠杆，现在这个杠杆在美国国债收益率高企的情况下，继续加杠杆已经很 困难了。 在特朗普这波难得一见的"抽象"操作中，从叙事角度，最大的变化恐怕就是"美国例外论"信仰了。在全球资金超配美国资产的过程中，除了美国作为成熟市场，稳 定的股东回报和理性的资本配置之外，一个很大的原因，相信美元资产持续向上。 从美国的宏观杠杆率变化可以看出： a. 美国经济总体的杠杆率目前仍然有258%，比疫情前的251%（2019年四季度）还高出7个百分点； b. 但分部门来看，杠杆是集中给到了联邦政府，企业和居民 ...

这就是中国股民的局限性，其实哪怕是去了美股，绝大多数的中国投资人一开始也是倾向于买更熟悉的中概股，包括交易思路都有炒a股的后遗症，我刚 去的前3年因为这个没少吃苦，后来是吃了亏开窍了，慢慢的思路也变了。 但思路变了以后，再回头看a股会觉得别扭，这个真的很矛盾。我身边的圈子还没有遇到过同时a股炒的很好，美股也炒的很好的人，能够白天和黑夜即时 切换大脑，适应两个不同市场的交易者，我觉得那是真的有东西。 聊偏了，总之就是qd基金的溢价短期内无法解决，有人问可不可以申购场外的，我没具体了解过，但拍脑袋想肯定也有外汇不够用的情况，要么停止申购 要么限购，你们要是遇到场外还能无限买的那就买，注意底层资产别买错就行。 …… 今天两市成交1.36万亿，这个成交量......就挺有问题的，缩太多了，咱们不说之前的2万亿标准，现在如果连1.5万亿也兜不住的话，再往下又要跌回以前的 熊市水平。 先回应这几天评论很多新读者问的，关于qd基金溢价的事。 qd基金是可以用a股账户直接买的境外etf，它的底层资产是境外股市的股票。通常基金有溢价的时候，你可以按净值申购，然后到二级市场抛售进行套 利。 但qd基金没办法套利，因为公募基金的外 ...
