【近日股市資金行情之我見】
這兩個月忙著跨海搬家,沒太多時間寫長文。這篇文章從今年1月斷斷續續寫到現在,主要嘗試回答兩個問題:
1. 2021年初是否存在市場過熱現象?
2. 美國政府2020年的瘋狂印鈔行為(參見下圖)是否會引發嚴重通貨膨脹?投資人應該如何因應?

首先關於第一個問題,在今年2月份我們看到美國股市的option契約數量大增,從19M/每日增加至30M/每日;SPACs形式2020年增加200件,募資$74B;GME軋空炒作行情。
這樣是否存在擦鞋童現象?
這部分我想先回顧17世紀荷蘭鬱金香投機事件。
傳說當年荷蘭鬱金香莖球被瘋狂炒作,價格上漲幾百倍,荷蘭舉國人民紛紛陷入投機熱潮,甚至20世紀德國知名投資客柯斯多蘭尼稱當年有駝背侏儒光是出租其後背供投資客們寫上最金莖球價格,然後穿梭人群中賺了一小筆。
隨後鬱金香莖球炒作泡沫破裂,荷蘭國家經濟受到重創,進而影響當年曾是海上商業王國的地位。
然而史實是如此嗎?
美國經濟學家Peter Garber專門研究此一投機炒作的經濟史,並寫下幾篇著名論文。而依據其著作"Famous First Bubbles The Fundamentals of Early Manias" 一書,我整理幾個重點:
1. 實際上鬱金香熱潮時間相當短,價格明顯彈升發生在1636年11月~1637年1月份。
2. 參與人數總共約350人,全是職業商人;真正支付高價(超過300荷蘭盾)者約莫10人,多數人其實是透過遠期合約的方式進行炒作,而最後多以違約拒絕真實支付現金,直到荷蘭當地鬱金香相關商會與政府出面介入,才以履約價格的10%甚至5%方式解除合約。
3. 非常昂貴的品種,如Semper Augustus 的真實漲幅只有5倍(從原本的1千出頭荷蘭盾漲至5千多),並非都市傳說中幾百倍的漲幅。
漲幅較大的主要是那些本來就平價的品種,例如Gouda buds,起漲價格約2荷蘭盾,最高價50多荷蘭頓。即便存在瘋漲,但至多也是一、二十倍,這即便放在現代農產品供需失調時的價格軌跡來比較,也並不離奇。例如台灣颱風後的香菜價格漲幅。
這邊可以題外話說明為何Semper Augustus這品種售價昂貴。因為這特殊品種本不存在於大自然,而是農夫必須將快開花的鬱金香球莖人工嫁接罹患某種病毒的鬱金香,才能開出特殊花色。而這種嫁接病毒的球莖將會死亡,不再具備繁衍後代的能力。此外,嫁接後的成功率在當年也並不高,不保證存活也不保證開出特殊花色。
物以稀為貴下使得Semper Augustus這品種本來售價就高昂,是一般品種的百倍。
讀者可參見以下幾張當年不同品種的價格走勢圖:

4. 也因為這個事件的範圍與熱潮都比傳說中小得多,因此並未對實質荷蘭資本市場或經濟體造成多少負面影響。
荷蘭鬱金香泡沫事件有三點啟示:
a. 即便在當年差不多時期的著作、媒體都有對其瘋狂投機炒作的描述,但實證來看誇大成分居多。很可能受到作家喜歡站在道德高點批判投機行為的習慣影響,但做為投資人或經濟史研究者在考據曾經的泡沫事件,始終必須以事實為依歸。
b. 小範圍小規模的投機炒作,無論價格哄抬得多麼高聳入天,事實是「毀約」始終是一種選項,有行無市的價格不存在經濟學意義。
c. 同樣地,小範圍小規模的投機炒作,無論價格哄抬得多麼高聳入天,對整體經濟乃至於資本市場的影響同樣不會太大。這意味著我們雖然應該警醒擦鞋童現象,但也無需杯弓蛇影。
如同我在去年幾篇文章中談到的,我認為Covid-19疫情本身造成的經濟損害遠不如人為的隔離措施所造成。目前看到的全世界生產力衰退,人禍成分高過天災。但與2009年不同之處在於:
「Personal savings soared as high as 33.7% in April following the Cares Act and were still a healthy 13.7% in December before Congress passed another $900 billion in Covid aid. This means that, unlike during the 2009 recession, households aren’t weighed down by debt.
Personal bankruptcies, home foreclosures and loan delinquencies last fall were the lowest since at least 2003. The mortgage delinquency rate was 0.7% in the third quarter of 2020 compared to 7% in the first quarter of 2009. ...」
出自Wrong Stimulus, Wrong Time - WSJ ( Feb. 5, 2021)報導。
因此在我看來,此文撰寫的時間點,雖然多多少少某些類股上存在擦鞋童現象,投資人不必過度擔憂。投資人真正該做好未雨綢繆準備的,是美國瘋狂印鈔下必然到來的嚴重通貨膨脹。
問題二:通貨膨脹下股票標的如何選擇?
高資產或高負債的公司在嚴重通膨時期的股價表現優於高現金部位的公司。在經濟學大師Armen A. Alchian 1965年的論文 "Effects of Inflation Upon Stock Prices "中,特別指出傳統經濟學如凱因斯、費雪等著名學者之見認為銀行身為典型債務人,在通貨膨脹環境下應該有較好的股價表現。而Alchian則點出這些學者大老忽略銀行雖然集債務於一身(大眾存款之於銀行就是債務),然而銀行受限於法規與現實,其資產多是「現金資產(money-type assets)」,故在嚴重通貨膨脹影響下,銀行實際經濟損失大過通膨泡沫所得,股價表現當然好不到哪去。
Alchian此文對我的啟發甚大,揭櫫面對貨幣因素影響甚大時的投資方向。
但我們要知道Armen Alchian的論文寫作時期與如今的投資環境又有幾個重大侷限條件之不同,因此我們不能生吞活剝地硬套Alchian的觀點,而是必須真實理解背後隱含的正確經濟學邏輯,並依據當今侷限條件之不同而修改並應用。
引入費雪的利息理論與張五常的財富倉庫概念,現今世界何謂資產、何謂債權債務、何謂現金?我們必須要能超脫會計學、法學的思維侷限,而從真正在投資決策上有效益的經濟學角度切入。
一個我認為值得投資人注意的重點是:投資人對於高商譽(goodwill)的公司能否有正確地、在經濟學層面的深度理解與評價機制。
這點同樣也適用在面對新科技寵兒如電動車之流之正確價格評估。
以長期投資角度看,如果以夠低的成本入手高資產或高品牌價值公司,本身部位又很大,則隨後的股市大幅修正甚至崩盤基本可以無視
如果部位不大,則可以視隨後散戶瘋狂狀況逐漸增加現金部位。
回到現實面,我認為通膨現象確實在發生,有兩個現象值得注意:
a. 機構法人買入加密貨幣的金流增加
「...JPMorgan, said the size of the bitcoin market had grown to equal about a fifth of gold held for investment and trading purposes, with a market capitalisation for the cryptocurrency of $750bn at its peak earlier this year, meaning it “is far from a niche asset class”. 」
「...Analysts at Canadian insurance company Manulife said in late January that the expansion in central banks’ balance sheets and rising public debt would push investors further into alternative asset classes ...」
「...Xangle showing that investors have lost more than $16bn to fraud since 2012 ...」
b. 近日美國美國前25大銀行對私人之貸款佔總資產比例從去年54.1%下降之45.7%,且放在Fed reserve account總金額達$3.15兆美元。
(The 25 largest U.S. banks currently hold 45.7% of their assets in loans and leases, according to Fed data released Friday, down from 54.1% this time last year. .. reserve balances in their Federal Reserve depository accounts at sky-high levels, $3.15 trillion at present
)
通膨現象將會更嚴重,因為「...According to a recent House Budget Committee estimate, $1 trillion from last year’s bills hasn’t been spent—including $59 billion for schools, $239 billion for health care and $452 billion in small business loans. State and local governments added 67,000 jobs in January. They don’t need more federal cash. ...」
WSJ "wrong-stimulus-wrong-time " Feb. 5, 2021
如同我在「論比特幣」一文中闡述過:比特幣顯然不是被當作交易貨幣而是某種無根財富倉庫,因此其價格之暴漲暴跌均同時具備「合理與不合理」之雙面性。因為不存在適當的評價方式去推估其價格之合理性。
但在此文我想進一步指出,從另一層面來看,這種無根倉庫的價格變動本身卻可提供我們對於貨幣因素下真實通貨膨脹的現狀診斷。這好比我們切脈在左關中層把得一數滑脈,搭配右關心位或肝位的脈相,或胃經、肝經或經外奇穴的壓痛診斷,或舌診眼診等等訊息,我們可以推知患者是肝臟、胰臟有惡性腫瘤亦或慢性胃潰瘍。
比特幣的暴漲本身也是一個類似性質的市場訊號。
換言之,當我們把貨幣看做經濟體的血液/體液時,投資人懂不懂得把經濟的脈?是否可以從貨幣的脈相得知經濟血液/體液的品質、健康度、病理變異方向程度與進程...等等。當我們脈診上發現血液/體液堆積於某經絡時,我們看到某類型資產價格飛漲甚至軋空時,診斷者有沒有能力正確推測隨後的、不同時間點地病程發展與相對應的症狀發作?
中美貿易戰框架與因應Covid-19疫情的政府舉措則是結構性地在解剖學層面改變經濟體本身,所需要的制度經濟學知識又是否足夠投資人能趨吉避凶甚或從中獲利?
這些都是參與投資市場者必須時時捫心自問的問題。
我文末再強調一次:美國主要銀行減少對私人企業放款而增加手中政府債券這現象。

【享受露營樂】首先要擬定露營用品Checklist
⭐露營用品可買可租
⭐迷上露營的話通常裝備越買越多
#星期二提升正能量
野外留宿初體驗
即Check必備露營用品
受疫情困擾的日子,大家都想走向大自然,到郊野地方活動一下,去露營的念頭油然而生。作為露營初哥,對於露營要帶甚麼沒有概念?今日就同大家數一數必備露營用品!如果你的露營用品是租賃或問朋友借用,記得出發前先熟習操作方法,尤其帳篷、天幕等打開和收納方式,以免到荒山野嶺時手忙腳亂。
.帳篷
選擇帳篷需要留意重量、大小及季節,一般來說越輕的帳篷價錢越貴,但的確可以為行裝減輕不少負擔。帳篷大小要按使用人數而定,建議以[人數+1]去選購,即是2人用三人帳篷,因為空間與舒適度成正比,再加上需放置隨身物品,尤其冬天行裝多需要空間就更大。春夏天的帳篷物料宜透氣、有窗口甚至蚊網;秋冬天則講求帳篷保暖防風。
.睡袋
睡袋一般分為木乃伊式和信封式兩種,木乃伊式包覆性比較高,較為保暖,但不適合喜歡轉身的「反瞓」人士;而信封式睡袋將拉鏈拉開可以當被子用。購買時要注意保溫範圍 (Temperature Rating),說明睡袋適合哪種溫度使用。如果想提升睡眠質素,可以加上充氣床墊,在野外都有一夜好眠。
.天幕
天幕看似可有可無,但其實它可以為露營者帶來舒適的起居空間,因為它能遮風擋雨,亦能隔熱防曬,在天幕下煮食、用餐、嬉戲都很寫意。
.照明設備
在戶外過夜照明設備是必需的,燈具選擇視乎行程和露營場地,如果會在晚上行山的就需配備頭燈或其它行動電源照明燈,方便空出雙手活動。部份燈具還附有滅蚊、風扇等功能,亦要帶備手電筒以防不時之需。
.摺疊桌椅
不想坐在草地或石頭上開餐,就要自備桌椅,選擇時首重輕身及堅固。如果桌子和椅子並非一套購買,記得購買時要配合兩者高度。
.煮食工具
露營用的煮食工具都以輕便為主,想節省空間宜選摺疊式鍋具,通常一個平底鍋加一個湯鍋已可做到煎、炒、煮、烤、燉、蒸等功能。亦可以準備多功能的燜燒鍋,燜煮時可同時準備其它菜式。
.充電器
現代人生活離不開智能電話,所以記得攜帶大容量的充電器,尤其如果會攜帶平板電腦、充電式燈具、風扇等電器,需要用電的情況遠比你想像的多,充電器搭配太陽能充電功能就更理想。

Getting ready for your first camping trip
A checklist for you
We have all been trapped at home for months during the pandemic, and many of us would love to get closer to nature. Hence, the idea of camping outdoors might pop up in our minds. As someone without camping experience, where do you start?
Let us go through a checklist together! If you plan to rent camping gears or borrow them from friends, make sure you learn how to use them, particularly the tent and canopy tent. Learning the proper way of installing and keeping these items can help you avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles.
.Camping tent
Do consider the weight and size of the camping tent, and if it is appropriate for the season. Tents that are lighter in weight are generally more expensive but they can significantly reduce the campers’ burden.
Determine the size of the tent based on the number of campers. We recommend you to follow the formula ‘number of campers +1’, meaning two campers to share a three-person tent. This will give everyone enough space to store his or her items and to chill, particularly during winter.
Opt for tents that are made from breathable materials when camping in spring and summer, and ensure they come with windows and proper mesh to allow air circulation and prevent insects from entering. During autumn and winter, opt for tents with good insulation.
.Sleeping bag
It is generally divided into two types: the mummy and the envelope. The mummy type can retain more heat as it is closed and form fitting, but it is not suitable for individuals who are used to tossing and turning during their sleep. The envelope type is more basic, as one can use it as a blanket once he or she unzips the sleeping bag.
When purchasing a sleeping bag, do take note of its temperature rating, as it will give you a hint of its ability to retain warmth. If you wish to improve your sleep quality, add another layer of inflatable mattress beneath the sleeping bag.
.Canopy tent
Canopy tent may seem negligible, but it will bring great comfort because it can protect campers from wind and rain and function as a shade screen. It would be an enjoyment to cook, dine and play beneath the canopy.
.Lighting equipment
This is exceptionally important for night use, and we should choose the right equipment based on the itinerary and the campsite condition. Headlamps would come in handy for night hiking. While some can repel insects, some even come with a fan to cool users down. It is also good to bring along a torchlight in case of emergency.
.Folding tables and chairs
If you do not wish to eat on the ground or rock then it is wise to prepare your own tables and chairs, which should be sturdy and lightweight. If they do not come from the same set, make sure they are all of the same height.
.Cooking utensils
Opt for portable and foldable lightweight utensils. All you need is just a pan and a stock pot for soup, and they can all be used for frying, cooking, grilling, stewing and steaming. If necessary, bring along a multifunction stew pot so you can prepare more dishes at one go.
.Power banks
It is a known fact that city folks cannot live without smartphones so make sure you prepare high-capacity power banks. If you are planning to bring items that consume high electricity such as notebooks, rechargeable light equipment, and fans, do consider using solar power banks instead.

With endless Covid Dinner venue lockdowns & it's already Year 2021, it's a bit boring at night 🌃. So always hoping to stock up on some spare Saba Zushi with cured Japanese Mackerel 🐟! 😬
In Kyoto context, 京都通常叫這做 『鯖姿寿司 Saba Sugata Zushi』. 尤其是富小路山岸也是京都有名氣之過江龍米芝蓮 🌟 星級店. 不過普遍嚟講好多人叫習咗簡單的 Saba Zushi 鯖寿司就可以..
題外話對住店員, 反而我自己好少叫他做 Saba Bouzushi 鯖棒寿司, 因為 subtle meaning 用上形容詞的話, 在日本或京都可能用於高級餐廳時會顯得有少少不雅? 所以京都才叫 '姿寿司' 不是 '棒', 有少少像是 '叫化雞' 同 '富貴雞' 的分別.. 不知道有沒有其他喜歡日系食物的人同意或不同意呢?🤔

Some of you who aren't local Singaporeans might be wondering what is the meaning of the term Zi Char (sometimes spelt as Zhi Char / Tze char) . For us Singaporeans, almost everyone of us knows what it means. Before I tell you what it means, I shall construct a few sentences here to help you guess what it means. (1) What do you wanna eat? Zi char or Mcdonalds? (2) Which zi char stall is the best in Singapore? (3) Which zi char stall serves the best chilli crabs?
Can you guess what zi char means? Alright, zi char is a hokkien term which literally means cook & fry in Mandarin - it's a term we use to describe a coffeeshop stall that serves freshly cooked dishes and such a stall is usually operated by Chinese .I have no idea how this term came about but I guess in the olden days, zi char stall owners must have said they serve cooked and fried food dishes so over the years, people just affectionately refer to them as Zi Char. So much about zi char but what has it gotta do with our recipe today? That's because this curry pork is a zi char inspired dish - a quick stir fry dish which you can easily whip out at home.
Refer to the ingredient list below or go to our website here www.spicenpans.com/curry-pork for your reference.
We would like to give special thanks to Shogun for letting us try out their high quality non-stick pan in the video. If you like to buy them, you can go to any of the major departmental stores in Singapore such as Isetan, Robinsons, Takashimaya, BHG, OG, Metro or Tangs.
Hope you can recreate this yummy dish in the comfort of your home. Thanks for dropping by our channel.

Osechi-Ryori is traditional Japanese New Year's food eaten during the first three days of the New Year. Each dishes that make up Osechi-Ryori has a special meaning celebrating the New Year (such as good health, fertility, good harvest, happiness, long life, etc...) and those dishes can last for a couple of days in the refrigerator or at cool room temperature in winter. Usually, they are served in Jyubako (重箱: three-tiered bento boxes). In the first tier, we serve colorful festive dishes such as shrimp, black beans, sweet chestnuts, etc... In the second tier we serve Sunomono (pickled dishes) and Yakimono (grilled dishes). And in the third tier, we serve Nimono (simmered dish) called Nishime (simmered Japanese vegetables).
Traditionally, we spend few days to prepare Osechi-Ryori but I always spend few hours to complete mine. I use ready-made dishes for sweet dishes since my darling doesn't eat a lot. I put more effort into cooking the savory dishes.
So, this is my darling's favorite Nishime recipe for the third tier :) I use frozen Japanese vegetables to save time and money. I came up with this idea when I lived in New York, where you can not find ingredients easily. I hope you can make it in your country in this way.
For the seasoning, I used Yamasa's Konbu Tsuyu (3 times concentrated Konbu kelp seaweed soup stock) which is tasty and convenient. I'm sure it is available overseas at Asian grocery stores or online.
