<h3>Strategy Review</h3>
Threatening Shareholders? Musk: Without 25% Voting Rights, It's Better to Do AI and Robotics Outside of Tesla
Musk hopes to gain greater control over Tesla, questioning why if the current stock holdings are already sufficient for motivation, then why don't Fidelity and others who hold similar shares come to work?
Are Douyu and Huya finally abandoned by Tencent?
What does it mean that Douyin is finally live streaming King of Glory?
Why is the US stock market pursuing &#34;high-quality&#34; stocks?
Why are investors interested in this strategy? Because high-quality companies usually perform well during economic slowdowns, such as Nvidia and Microsoft with strong performance growth, or stable profit companies like Coca-Cola and Johnson &amp; Johnson.
Behind Apple's price reduction: a dual failure in the consumer market and the capital market?
Price reductions and Vision Pro are both Apple's self-rescue measures in the face of declining smartphone sales and being considered &#34;no longer a growth stock&#34;.
Goldman Sachs: Bullish overcrowding increases the risk of a US stock market correction
Goldman Sachs strategists say that bulls are flooding into the stock market, increasing the risk of a market correction after a strong rebound by the end of 2023. The strategists point out that both stock positions and sentiment have risen to relatively bullish levels, which often dampens further market gains.
In addition, the strategists believe that technology stocks have taken the lead in this rebound, and narrowing breadth means that recent returns will remain flat. Goldman Sachs strategists expect a significant amount of money deployed in money market funds to shift to the stock market, further driving the market up.
