135.宏观大事频发期如何保持定力？| 投资账2025半年度复盘

Summary

This [[QizhulouYanBinke|起朱楼宴宾客]] half-year investment review has [[DavidWeng|大卫翁]] ask how an ordinary investor can stay steady during tariff shocks, geopolitical news, dollar volatility, gold strength, and intense media reversal. The source extends vol.124.信息过载后如何保持冷静？ | 投资账复盘 from first-quarter information overload into a first-half result: the host says his total assets rose about 8.3%, helped by long-term equities, short-term equities, and gold, but he also identifies failure to follow a staged buying plan as a real process error. Its central synthesis is Ordinary Investor Macro Boundary: macro matters more for professional asset allocators, but ordinary households should trade less on macro events, watch whether events become trends, and keep allocation, cash, and sleep ahead of headline reaction.

Key Claims

  • The source was published on 2025-07-07, so market levels, personal returns, and second-half intentions should be read as source-dated observations rather than current facts.
  • The host describes first-half 2025 as broadly strong across A-shares, Hong Kong equities, U.S. equities, gold, and Bitcoin if one ignores intra-period volatility.
  • The host says his total net assets rose about 8.3% in the first half, with gains mainly from long-term stock holdings, a shorter-term stock account, and gold.
  • His long-term stock sleeve emphasizes dividend stocks, utilities, and leading internet companies; the shorter-term sleeve covers arbitrage, favored sectors, and small trial positions.
  • Investment Plan Execution Discipline is the main self-critique: after selling a house, the host intended to deploy capital over about half a year but invested too quickly during the January-February technology and DeepSeek market mood, leaving less cash for April’s better entry point.
  • April 2025 is treated as the behavior test from [[HowardMarks|Howard Marks]] and Macro Event vs Macro Trend Distinction: the host says he avoided selling during tariff-war panic because “nobody knows” made panic reduction less logical than deliberate inaction.
  • The source separates macro data, macro events, and macro trends. Macro data can often be ignored by ordinary investors, macro events may create opportunities, and macro trends deserve serious allocation attention.
  • The source argues that 2025 macro events increasingly affect ordinary life, including export work, U.S. immigration or study plans, and Middle East travel risk, but that life relevance still does not make every headline tradable.
  • Ordinary Investor Macro Boundary is expressed practically as watching less news, avoiding direct portfolio reactions to each headline, and only tracking events closely when making a major allocation change.
  • The host prefers short-maturity [[USTreasury|U.S. Treasuries]] for cash-like yield and rejects using TLT/TMF-style duration products as ordinary-investor rate bets, extending Treasury Duration Risk.
  • Gold remains a portfolio shock absorber near an 8% to 10% target rather than a high-return engine, extending Gold As Currency Spare Tire / 黄金备胎 and Gold Monetary Anchor.
  • The second-half plan is deliberately low-action: continue 1:1:1 Allocation Anchor, rebalance rather than chase, reduce screen time, sharpen Dividend-Technology Barbell / 红利科技杠铃, reserve more cash, and participate selectively in Hong Kong IPO opportunities through Hong Kong IPO Liquidity Path.
