<h3>Strategy Review</h3>
1. Will zero-date options trigger a crash in the US stock market?
Some investors are concerned that the trading activity of ultra-short-term options may affect stock market volatility, and studies have shown that most retail investors using ultra-short-term options end up losing money.
2. How much longer can the US stock market rise? Danger is approaching!
&#34;From now until the end of summer, two things must happen: either there must be a significant improvement in guidance, or interest rates must fall. Otherwise, we may see the S&amp;P 500 index fall again, or even experience a full-scale pullback.&#34;
3. Palantir is riding the &#34;AI wave&#34;, will the stock price continue to soar?
The strong growth of Palantir's commercial business may enhance investors' confidence in the company's ability to expand beyond government clients. Goldman Sachs analysts believe that as Palantir's advantage in data integration intersects with clients' AI projects, the key debate surrounding the stock will be the sustainability of its business growth
