一轮牛市，人们只会记得最后的"疯"，很少有人记得它之前往往是漫长、枯燥、甚至伴随质疑声的"慢"。 2015年的疯牛，真正的起点在2013年； 2021年大家口口声声说是牛市，但上证指数全年几乎横着走，赚钱效应主要来自中小盘和赛道股。 今天的A股，又一次站在类似的阶段： 指数不算耀眼，情绪时冷时热，但结构已经发生了关键变化。 我的核心判断是： 这轮牛市尚未结束，仍处在从"慢热"走向"发酵"的阶段，未来3个月，A股有较大概率走出类似2014年底那种"先挖坑、再 拉升"的节奏，春节前后或是情绪爆点。 下面我们从资金、政策、结构和时间节奏四个维度，把这件事讲清楚。 一、情绪冰冷，往往不是牛市结束，而是主升浪的酝酿期 很多人这两年最大的感受是： "指数没涨多少，我的账户怎么反而更难做了？" "明明新闻天天说利好，怎么盘面老是阴晴不定？" 如果只盯着指数，你确实很难判断牛熊。 从几个关键"现象"看，目前更符合"牛市中段，而非尾声"的特征： 散户参与度并不高 新开户数据温和，没有出现2015年那种开户潮。 银行存款搬家迹象有限，居民资金并未大规模杀入股市。 社交网络上"炒股一夜翻倍"的故事极少，讨论热度远未"泛滥"。 场内 ...
