Andrew Casey remembers a moment when colleagues truly looked to him for leadership. At ServiceNow, a then‑$400 million company with little go‑to‑market infrastructure, the team faced a long list of missing elements: no functioning comp plan, no partner ecosystem, and no clear strategy for scaling sales. “Whenever people said they didn't know how,” Casey recalls, “I started raising my hand and said, I don't know either, but I know what we're going to go do… and then we're going to adjust as we go.” That willingness to lead through uncertainty became a turning point in his career.ServiceNow would grow from $400 million to $4.5 billion during his tenure, and colleagues still use the pricing and deal frameworks he created, he tells us. The experience cemented his approach: chase experiences, not titles, and transform finance into a partner that drives business outcomes.That mindset carried into his first CFO role at WalkMe in 2020, where, just two weeks in, COVID forced an immediate office shutdown. “We didn't even have a work‑from‑home policy,” he tells us. The sudden disruption forced him to navigate crisis management, team alignment, and IPO preparation simultaneously.His journey through Sun Microsystems, Symantec, Oracle, HP, ServiceNow, and Lacework sharpened his ability to guide transformation and scale. Today, as CFO of Amplitude, Casey draws on those lessons to help a smaller public company grow with discipline. Each chapter—from orchestrating 37 acquisitions at Oracle to steering turnarounds—reflects a career built on stepping into complexity, listening first, and leading change with confidence.

Apple reported its greatest revenue growth in years, Microsoft's market cap topped $4 trillion after its earnings report, and Amazon's disappointing earnings forecast overshadowed its solid results.

Send us a textThis week on The Skinny on Wall Street, Kristen and Jen are back in full swing with a jam-packed episode covering some of the biggest stories in markets and finance. They kick things off by diving deep into the highly anticipated Figma IPO, which just priced and shocked the market with an incredible first-day reaction. They break down why the IPO was such a blockbuster, how it compares to other historic tech listings, and what this means for the broader IPO market in 2025.From there, they unpack the newly passed Genius Act and its sweeping implications for the stablecoin market. They both explore why this legislation could have surprising effects on short-term interest rates and the broader bond market. Speaking of bonds, the episode also includes a sharp look at the latest Fed decisions, auction activity, and the fascinating dynamics playing out on the front end of the Treasury curve.To wrap things up, Kristen and Jen discuss a Wharton research paper that's making headlines about AI trading algorithms colluding—and what that could mean for fairness and stability in financial markets. Plus, they share exciting updates on The Wall Street Skinny's expanded presence on LinkedIn and YouTube, as well as the upcoming LinkedIn Live series on how to “AI-proof” your career.

What if index funds weren't as “passive” as you think? In this episode of the Rational Reminder, we are joined by Jim Rowley, Global Head of Investment Implementation Research, and Andy Mack, Head of US Equity Portfolio Management at Vanguard. These two experts offer a rare, behind-the-scenes look into what it really takes to run some of the world's largest index funds—and it's far from “set it and forget it.” From real-time trading decisions to managing $7 trillion globally, Jim and Andy walk us through how Vanguard implements index strategies with a precision that rivals any active manager. They challenge the traditional labels of passive versus active and show how thoughtful implementation, securities lending, FX execution, and IPO participation can add real value for investors—even in low-cost index products.

When your audience thinks they already know your story, the boldest brands flip the script and earn their attention in the process. That's exactly what happens in Wicked, the smash-hit film adaptation that reimagines one of pop culture's most iconic villains. In this episode, we explore the marketing lessons behind it with special guest Allison MacLeod, Chief Marketing Officer & GM of US Education at Flywire.Together, we explore what B2B marketers can learn from reframing brand narratives, building fan-level community, and executing with bold, high-stakes detail that actually gets noticed.About our guest, Allison MacleodAllison Macleod currently serves as Chief Marketing Officer & Head of US Education at Flywire (Nasdaq: FLYW), a global payments enablement & software company. At Flywire, Allison leads global marketing and revenue operations, & US Education sales, relationship management & pre-sales. She played a key role in guiding Flywire to a successful IPO in May 2021.Allison brings nearly 20 years of experience with a background spanning marketing and revenue-focused roles. Prior to Flywire, she spent seven years at Rapid7 (Nasdaq: RPD), where she played a pivotal role in building and scaling demand generation, business development, and analytics. Before that, she held various digital and field-based positions at Forrester, including launching the marketing function in EMEA.Outside of work, Allison sits on the Board of Trustees of the Massachusetts Technology Leadership Council and serves as a strategic advisor to early-stage companies through F-Prime & Underscore VC.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Wicked:Reframe what they think they know. Wicked works because it flips a legacy story on its head. The same power lies in brand repositioning. “How do you really reframe what people think they know about you and your brand,” Allison says. Whether it's entering new markets or expanding product lines, your biggest unlock might come from telling your old story in a completely new way.Community is your flywheel. Wicked isn't just a show, it's a movement. Audiences don't just watch it, they live it. That level of advocacy isn't accidental. “How do you really cultivate that community, whether that's your clients, the advocacy, and make people… feel that deep passion for what you do,” Allison asks. In B2B, fandom might look like retention, referrals, or customer-led storytelling, but it starts with emotional connection.Be bold and unforgettable. Every production choice in Wicked is a masterclass in attention to detail. From the live vocals to the stunts, they took creative risks that resonated. “How do you be bold and unforgettable,” Allison says. The safest move in saturated categories? Standing out.Quote“I think that's sort of the lesson and the beauty in this, taking something that everyone already thought they knew, and they thought they knew the story… and completely reframing it. And I think that's where you just think of us as businesses, us as consumers… there's so much clutter. So the brands that stick out and do things differently, and even if it is trying the same channel but in a different way, there's so much power in that."Time Stamps[0:55] Meet Allison MacLeod, Chief Marketing Officer & GM of US Education at Flywire[01:05] Why Wicked?[02:29] The Role of CMO at Flywire[04:00] Breaking Down of Wicked[09:22] B2B Marketing Takeaways from Wicked[21:54] The Appeal of Villains and Taking Risks[23:37] The Power of Visual Design in Branding[24:54] Marketing Strategies for Global Brands[29:26] Flywire's Unique Differentiation Approach[40:03] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Allison on LinkedInLearn more about FlywireAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

As we take a brief hiatus from releasing new episodes this week, we thought it would be interesting to revisit this episode from December 2024 with Michael Saylor. Ahead of the Trump administration officially taking office, Michael explained why he thought the year ahead would be a seminal one in the history of Bitcoin. Was he correct? You be the judge. Summary: With a new, crypto-friendly administration incoming, 2025 may be the year we see Bitcoin integrate more fully into mainstream finance in America and globally. Though volatile, and with an uncertain future that will heavily depend on how macroeconomic conditions and regulatory policies play out across the year, there's reason to believe that Bitcoin could soon be more prominent than ever. Today's guest is here to tell us why.Michael Saylor is the Executive Chairman and co-founder of business intelligence company MicroStrategy (Nasdaq: MSTR), and a leading advocate of Bitcoin. MicroStrategy considers itself to be the world's first Bitcoin Company, and under Michael's leadership have adopted a unique Bitcoin acquisition strategy with approximately $42 billion in Bitcoin held to date. In this episode, Michael describes his journey from skeptic to Bitcoin maximalist, emphasizes the importance of understanding Bitcoin as a digital capital asset, and discusses its potential to disrupt traditional valuation methodologies in finance.Highlights:Michael recommends resources for Bitcoin beginners (2:37)Why fear of progress holds us back (3:55)Michael points out the clues suggesting Bitcoin is here to stay (7:11)What USD maximalists get wrong (13:15)How we can understand the potential of Bitcoin through an engineering lens (16:25)Why valuation methodologies need to adapt to include Bitcoin (18:48)How Bitcoin outperforms traditional investments (28:09)Why supportive regulatory environment is crucial for Bitcoin's growth (30:54)Michael explains why the current capital market structure favors a select few (34:59)Why sound money is critical for societal progress (39:00)Links:Michael Saylor LinkedInMicroStrategy WebsiteBook: The Bitcoin Standard by Saifedean AmmousICR LinkedInICR TwitterICR WebsiteFeedback:If you have questions about the show, or have a topic in mind you'd like discussed in future episodes, email our producer, joe@lowerstreet.co.

In this episode of the People of Packaging podcast, host Adam Peek sits down with Michael Houston, President & CEO of Future Blue Group and Co-founder of Shower Pouch, for an insightful conversation that delves into his extensive career in packaging and his passion for innovative, sustainable solutions.Michael's Journey: From Corporate Giants to Entrepreneurial VenturesMichael shares his impressive career trajectory, starting with his time at major CPG companies like Procter & Gamble and Johnson & Johnson, where he gained invaluable experience in packaging R&D and operations. He later transitioned to companies like Beachbody, where he began to focus on helping smaller businesses navigate the complexities of product development and market entry. His experience also includes roles at Unilever, working with beauty brands like Murad, Dermalogica, and Kate Somerville, and contributing to the Honest Company's IPO. This rich background has fueled his current entrepreneurial pursuits.Introducing Shower Pouch: The On-the-Go Hygiene SolutionA significant portion of the discussion revolves around Shower Pouch, a product born from a personal problem statement. Michael recounts how his father, serving in Afghanistan, highlighted the need for a better hygiene solution than just baby wipes. Collaborating with his business partner, Omar Jimenez (a talented chemist), they developed Shower Pouch – a high-quality, durable, and highly absorbent non-woven wipe designed to clean an entire body with just one product. The conversation touches on:* The Problem: Addressing the need for convenient and effective hygiene solutions for military personnel, hospital patients, and even active individuals on the go.* The Innovation: The use of a specialized non-woven material that is highly absorbent and durable, allowing for efficient cleaning.* Sustainability Focus: Shower Pouch is designed as a durable good, emphasizing reusability and minimizing waste. The packaging even suggests washing and repurposing the wipes.* Convenience: The product can be used on its own or heated for a more comfortable experience.* Availability: Shower Pouch is available on Amazon Prime and through their website, theshowerpouch.com.Future Blue Group: Driving Sustainable Packaging for CPG BrandsMichael's consultancy, Future Blue Group, leverages his deep industry knowledge to assist CPG brands in various aspects of packaging. The discussion highlights:* Key Areas of Focus: Future Blue Group helps brands with cutting-edge technical packaging solutions, cost reduction, enhancing packaging aesthetics, improving customer experience, integrating sustainability principles, optimizing supply chain operations, and accelerating market entry.* Industry Successes: Michael notes significant success working with brands in the supplement space, where he helps optimize packaging for shelf stability and manufacturability, moving beyond generic stock options. He also finds considerable success in the personal care, masstige, and prestige categories, where he navigates complex material and formulation challenges to ensure both aesthetics and functionality.* The Importance of Data: Michael emphasizes the critical role of data in making informed packaging decisions. He advocates for a scientific, objective approach to sustainability, starting with verifiable data rather than relying on "greenwashing" or gut feelings. This is where tools like Specright.com and Trayak become invaluable.Sustainability in Packaging: A Call for ClarityMichael offers crucial advice for brands tackling sustainability:* Define Your Sustainability: He stresses the importance of clearly defining what sustainability means for your specific brand – whether it's compostability, recyclability, durability, or a combination. A clear definition allows for quantifiable goals and avoids being "all over the place."* Embrace Material Science: Understanding the materials you're working with, their manufacturing processes, and their environmental impact is key to making truly sustainable choices.* Beyond Greenwashing: Move past superficial claims and commit to science-based decisions that genuinely reduce environmental impact, particularly focusing on reducing CO2 emissions.Connect with Michael Houston:* LinkedIn: Michael Houston* Future Blue Group: Find them on LinkedIn* Shower Pouch: theshowerpouch.com* Email: michael.houston@futurebluegroup.com This is a public episode.

He candidly shares that CEOs who don't understand empathy are a risk. And finally, Steve offers ways to balance a culture of experimentation and empowerment with effective risk management.

It is not the machine or the algorithm that will solve your risk problem; it is your people. You risk losing your best people if you're not willing to adapt to what needs to be done for the best of your organization, employees, clients, and other stakeholders.

Moving hospitals? How can simulation help?  In the latest of our collaborative episodes with Advances in Simulation, Vic interviews Nathan Oliver about his recent article:   Oliver, N., Twentyman, K. & Howie, K. ‘Everybody's voice is important': using translational simulation as a component of change management. Adv Simul 10, 38 (2025).  Nathan and team were asked to support the transition to a new hospital in Scotland. They took a very human centred approach, and we discussed Laura Rock's adage to ‘not answer feelings with facts' when considering staff anxieties about change. They drew upon Bartenuk's work to orient their thinking about how change was experienced at the individual level, beyond simply measuring resistance or readiness.  The simulation strategy, design, delivery and debriefing were guided by Nickson's IPO model.  Nickson, C.P., Petrosoniak, A., Barwick, S. et al. Translational simulation: from description to action. Adv Simul 6, 6 (2021)  Among many interesting elements, we reflected on the process of Systems focused debriefing, including some great work in this area by others.  Dubé, Mirette M. et al. PEARLS for Systems Integration: A Modified PEARLS Framework for Debriefing Systems-Focused Simulations. Simulation in Healthcare: The Journal of the Society for Simulation in Healthcare 14(5):p 333-342, October 2019.  Colman, N., Dalpiaz, A., Walter, S. et al.

迎收听雪球出品的财经有深度，雪球，国内领先的集投资交流交易一体的综合财富管理平台，聪明的投资者都在这里。今天分享的内容叫盘点三次A股大牛市，我有了一些经验和感悟，来自超级定投家主理人。自2000年以来，A股市场上曾经历过3次主要的牛市，分别在2005-2007年、2014-2015年、2019-2021年。今年6月底以来，A股表现持续强势，这几天也站上了3600点的高地。在这个时间点上，或许大家都有点心潮澎湃，但也不免有些忐忑：这轮行情究竟能走多远？想要回答这个问题，不妨先从历史经验中寻找答案。因此今天来复盘A股过去的3次大牛市带来了哪些宝贵的经验和前瞻，以及本次行情下我们的一些感悟。今天的内容全是干货、满满回忆，无论你是刚入市的新手，还是经历过几轮牛熊的老股民，都可以来再次回顾、总结下当时的市场。1、3次大牛市复盘回顾前三次大牛的行情，我们可以发现领涨的、跟涨的、以及不怎么涨的行业，都各有差异：例如，在05-07年涨幅排在倒数的计算机行业，在14-15年却是领涨的第一名；而在14-15年排名倒数的食品饮料，在19-21年则是绝对的排头兵。这种行业表现上的差异，本质上都在于，每一轮牛市背后的驱动因素不同。每一次行情里，在宏观经济、市场政策、产业面发展情况等方向上，都有很大的不同。第一轮牛市：2005年-2007年从宏观上来看，当时的经济，正处于一种内生性的高速发展。自2001年中国加入世界贸易组织后，强劲的出口，为我们国家的各大企业带来了可观的盈利，名义 G D P 增速持续保持两位数增长，企业盈利与宏观经济同步改善为股市提供了较好的基本面支撑；当时的货币和财政政策并没有特别宽松的扶持。在2005年，政策面上也迎来了重大转机，也是启动行情的重要因素：股权分置改革+浮动汇率制度。2005年4月的股权分置改革，代表了一个更流通的市场。这个名词大家可能经常听说，但不太清楚它的具体意思和现实意义。简单来说，在改革之前，A股上市公司的股份被分成两类：- 流通股：社会公众持有，可自由交易，也就是股市上主要交易的股份类别，不过占总股本的比例较少。- 非流通股：国有股、法人股为主，暂不上市，占总股本的比例较多。这种制度形成的原因，主要是90年代证券市场初创时，为避免国有资产流失而规定的。但它也有一些不太完善的地方，例如：- 非流通股的成本很低（比如1元），而流通股成本较高（在股市里买入的，一般都比1元贵不少），但拿到的分红是一样的，这就带来了收益分配的问题，流通股的吸引力明显不高；- 非流通股不会因为股价波动而影响自身利益，但又占股东的大多数，具有决策权，这就导致了决策者的利益捆绑不足；- 与国外发达市场的全流通制度差异较大，资本市场的开放程度不足。总而言之，股权分置改革的核心，就是消除流通股和非流通股的制度差异，尽量建立全流通的市场。具体的措施有很多，我们不需要全部了解，只需要知道结果是：在改革之后，两种股的股东权益比之前更加平等了，可以在A股市场交易的流通股的吸引力大大增加。2005年7月的浮动汇率制度，代表着中国资产吸引力加强2005年7月之前的一段时间，人民币的汇率管控是相对严格的，基本上固定在1美对应8.23人民币左右。但当时，中国的出口贸易已经进入高速发展期了，外汇储备很多，人民币有比较强的升值动力，因此从2005年7月开始，央妈放松了汇率管控，让人民币汇率更加市场化。这样的结果是，处于高速发展期的中国资产吸引力很强，人民币汇率快速升值，也吸引了许多外资的投资兴趣。总结来看，这波行情，是坚实的基本面高速发展+两个非常重要的政策改革所带动的。现在，我们回到A股市场上：1. 当时市场情绪回暖，券商受益于交投活跃度增加，佣金收入大幅增长，板块率先开启上涨。2. 顺周期属性最强的银行和地产也跟进领涨。3. 经济持续上行，推动钢铁、有色金属等周期行业接力。不过，需要单独提一下，本轮行情中TMT板块看起来是表现较弱的，传媒、计算机、通信、电子恰好都垫底，而这主要是因为，那个时点我们的科技公司基本还都处于起步阶段，相对竞争力较弱。第二轮牛市：2014年-2015年在经历了十年左右的高速发展期之后，国内经济增长出现减缓，GDP季度增速下滑明显。作为应对措施的一部分，央行采取了宽松的货币政策：在2014年到2015年连续6次降息，并进行了3次降准，累计降准幅度达250BP。此外，2014年5月国家重磅发布资本市场政策“新国九条”，其中与股市相关的重要内容包括：- 推进股票发行的注册制改革，加大股权融资比例，重启IPO；- 开通沪港通渠道，扩大资本市场的开放。- 这些因素加在一起，导致了这样的现象：打新收益比较高+沪港通开通后市场情绪不错，吸引了许多散户入场；央行连续降息背景下，融资利率较低——融资加杠杆炒股，成为了当时比较常见的事情。截止到2014年末，融资融券规模破万亿（年初为3.5千亿，翻了三倍），2015年5月破2万亿，这也是一个到现在都没有再破过的记录。所以这一轮，也被很多人称为“杠杆牛”。我们再看回A股市场上：1. 当时市场的典型特征是交易活跃、两融等杠杆比较高，直接受益于此的券商行业走出领涨，开启年末单月翻倍的“狂飙”模式。2. 军工、银行、钢铁等板块后续也有显著表现。3. 2015年3月两会正式提出“互联网+”后，点燃了科创概念，TMT板块接力上涨。但，本轮行情中，消费相对较弱，食品饮料和美容护理在各行业中涨幅垫底。第三轮牛市：2019年-2021年受国内经济新旧动能转换+与美国第一轮贸易战的影响，国内经济增速有所放缓，社融增速有所下滑；在2020年新冠疫情刚爆发的一段时间，经济也面临了比较大的压力挑战。所以，为了应对经济内生性增速下降+新冠疫情的影响，央妈持续采取着宽松的货币政策。在2019年到2021年之间，央行连续四次降准，累积幅度达200BP（有点梦回2015年），连续三次降息，MLF由3.3%降至2.95。而且，那个时候的财政政策应对也是比较积极的。2019年3月两会推出大幅减税政策，强化了企业盈利改善的信心；2020年为尽快从疫情影响中复苏，政府开始大量发债。在内忧外患下，货币和财政政策都在积极大力宽松以扶持中国经济，带动基本面走好。而在资本市场上，其实还有一个重要的原因：2018年的资管新规推出后，非标投资（也就是非标准化债权类资产）受到严格限制，许多资金在原本投资到期后，就需要做别的配置。这时候，公募基金凭借信息透明、监管规范的优势，再加上互联网销售平台的助力，很大程度上接住了这一波资金。随着公募基金在市场中的影响力越来越大，甚至成为影响资产价格的重要边际力量，市场上表现比较好的行业，往往就是公募基金重点持仓的行业了。1. 2019年：科技股（计算机、电子）和消费股（白酒）领涨市场。2. 2020年初：疫情爆发后，医药板块接力上涨行情。3. 2020年9月：随着碳中和政策正式提出，也有多家龙头企业在技术和市场上取得突破，开启新能源产业趋势行情，电力设备、汽车行业表现亮眼。而本轮行情中周期股表现相对较弱，与公募基金低配周期板块有关。2、5个问题，看看现在的市场情况回顾完前三次的上涨行情后，我们再来看看当前市场情况如何。第一，经济基本面？——弱复苏是当前的主线目前工业生产和出口仍然有韧性，但内生融资需求仍不强，地产数据未有明显好转，物价持续偏弱，预计下半年维持弱复苏格局。第二，货币政策？——持续宽松2024年以来，央行降准三次，累计幅度150BP，降息三次，7天逆回购利率降至1.40%，创历史新低，带动贷款和存款利率同步下行，并创设货币政策创新工具（互换便利、回购增持再贷款）等。整体来看，央妈对实体经济和资本市场的流动性，都有比较强的呵护。第三，财政政策？——更加积极宽松2024年12月的中央经济工作会议上，首次提出“实施更加积极的财政政策”，25年3月的两会上将财政赤字率从去年的3%提高至4%，并持续扩大政府债券规模。第四，资本市场政策？—— 9 2 4 组合拳+反内卷去年924国新办上，央妈+财爸+证监会的三部门政策组合拳，毫无疑问是近几年“最靓的仔”。配合“国家队”的持续买入，体现了极强的稳住股市的政策意愿，极大扭转了之前市场的悲观预期，股市快速止跌反弹。近期的“反内卷”政策，虽然严格意义上不算资本市场政策，不过由于其涉及各行各业的基本面改善预期，直指当前经济中最重要的“通缩”问题，因而也带动了很强的市场情绪。此外，今年以来，在AI、创新药等科技领域的新兴产业，频频有重大技术突破发生，对于市场情绪也有重要的提振效果。第五，那现在的市场及板块情况呢？自从2024年9月末以来，A股市场已经离开了先前的疲弱态势，开启了上行的趋势。从板块启动顺序来看：2024年9月24日-2024年年底1. 政策组合拳后，券商作为习惯上的“牛市旗手”，又成为涨幅第一的板块；2. 政策利好比较多、且前期已经经过深度调整的房地产随后跟上；3. 商贸零售受到以旧换新政策的利好，在2024年四季度领涨；4. TMT板块也受益于风险偏好提升，受到资金青睐，涨幅也不错。2025年年初至今1. 行情呈现着比较明显的“哑铃”结构；2. 哑铃进攻的一端，是产业热点频出的高科技行业。从春节前后的DeepSeek、春晚机器人跳舞带来的TMT行情，到二季度大爆发的创新药产业行情，都曾经带领整个行业跑出一个月25%以上的夸张涨幅。全球地缘冲突升温的背景下，军工也有着不错的表现；3. 哑铃防守的一端，则是受益于金价猛涨的有色金属板块，以及资产荒背景下、以银行为典型的高股息主题；4. 7月以来，反内卷政策持续提出和落地，以钢铁、建材、煤炭等为代表的顺周期资源品板块领涨。不过，如果从今年4月8日开始计算的话，食品饮料和公用事业表现相对弱一些。3、关于未来，我们的几点感悟7月以来，大A确实很猛，一周稳住3500点，现在又开始在3600点关口上下反复博弈，市场情绪明显升温。但复盘完A股的3次大牛市，我反而有了另一些感悟：1. 没有永恒的“领涨板块”，只有不断轮动的市场风格三轮牛市，每次领涨的行业都截然不同——2005-2007年是金融地产，2014-2015年是券商和TMT，2019-2021年则轮到了消费和新能源。而那些曾经表现不佳的板块（比如2005年的计算机、2015年的食品饮料），后来却成了另一轮行情的主角。2. 牛市中市场情绪很重要，但基本面的驱动力也不可忽视每一轮牛市都伴随着高涨的市场情绪，但真正决定行情持续性的，始终是基本面支撑。经济高增长、政策宽松、产业升级，这些都是实实在在的驱动力。3. 市场永远在变，只要你的投资框架架得够稳，就有可能抓住更多胜率与其纠结“是不是牛市起点”，不如踏踏实实做另一件更关键的事：构建一个攻守兼备的组合——例如“哑铃结构”配置。根据上文的复盘，本轮行情，与此前的几次相比，还是有一些不同的地方。一个是，本轮行情中行业轮动速度非常快，而且科技成长板块热度很高，主要包括创新药、人形机器人、AI、军工等频频有突破性的产业热点推出的行业。——这指向的是，高科技行业可能成为未来行情的“旗手”。另一个是，本轮行情处在非常低利率、城投债融资减少的资产荒环境下，这是前几轮行情都没有的。目前10年期国债收益率已经回落到1.7%的较低水平，信用利差和期限利差也处在历史低位，以保险机构为典型的资产荒情况持续。——这指向的是，股票中的红利主题，很可能成为债券等固收类资产的替代选择，可能也会在资金持续流入下，带动一些行情。因此，攻受兼备的哑铃策略或许更适合现在这样一个快速轮动的行情。到这里，我们的框架基本就搭建出来了：- 攻的方面，关注产业热点频出的高科技类成长赛道；- 守的方面，酌情去配置一些高分红的红利主题；- 此外，结合产业趋势、性价比和市场情绪的微观差异，布局细分方向，灵活把握市场轮动机会，是更精细化的投资方向。总结一句话：牛市与否现在还不知道，但一个攻守兼备的策略，能让你在不确定性中握有更多主动权，这才是当下最该做的事。

In this episode of Excess Returns, Mike Green returns to dissect the structural transformation underway in public markets due to the rise of passive investing. He explains why “there's no such thing as a passive investor,” how inelastic flows distort prices, and what it means for valuation, volatility, and the long-term sustainability of equity markets. From the math behind market multipliers to the policy distortions driving mega-cap dominance, Mike walks through the macro, micro, and behavioral implications of passive flows — and what investors and policymakers need to do about it.

On today's episode, Kyle Grieve discusses Charlie Munger's legendary speech, The Psychology of Human Misjudgment, and unpacks all 25 of his cognitive biases that often lead even the most intelligent people to make poor decisions. Drawing from Poor Charlie's Almanack, Kyle explores how these psychological tendencies—like incentive-caused bias, social proof, and inconsistency avoidance—can distort our thinking in business, investing, and everyday life. He blends Munger's timeless wisdom with real-world investing examples, personal experiences, and practical strategies to help listeners make better, more rational decisions.
