純噴口水,but I would do a short Nike / long Adidas pair trade。
Nike 這幾年給我的印象是吃老本(和蘋果差不多),Jordan 球鞋復刻完了再復刻,創新方面嚴重不足。以我最熟悉的籃球鞋為例,Jordan Brand 的當家球星 Melo 和 CP3 感覺不大賣得動,Super.Fly 是個不錯的系列但是 Blake Griffin 又沒有足夠的叫座力,XX9 和 XXX 定價太高。Nike 本身的 Lebron KD 和 Kobe 隨著 Kobe 退役剩下 Lebron KD 和 Kyrie,雖然各有各的粉絲,但是沒什麼增長前景。
那麼假設整個市場總量不變的話,合理的估計是在 Nike 此消的情況下,彼長的一定是 Adidas 和 Under Armour,Adi 這幾年憑 Boost 撈得風生水起而 UA 則挖到了 Curry 的金礦。
Nike 6月28日收 USD53.09,Adidas 收 EUR122.65。一個月后再回來看看。

I picked up D Rose 6 from the North Point outlet recently. And for HK$700, it's a steal.
For sneaker addicts, buying the right basketball shoes is a careful exercise of checks and balances, taking into account of traction, materials, fit, support/stability, heel to toe transition, breathability, etc. etc. But for a 45-year-old with aches and pains in both of my knees, the only thing matters is cushioning or impact protection.
Here comes D Rose 6, with an unapologetic amount of boost, and it's full length from heel to toe. It's so soft yet doesn't compromise responsiveness. It lets your foot sink in then pushes back to shape and propels your next step.
Yes, it may look a little bulky and may not be everyone's cup of tea aesthetically, but if you're looking to take care of knees, this is the one, especially for HK$700.
Yesterday, I played about 10 games of 3-on-3s and my knees felt fine. That says a lot about BOOST.

Sources: Lizhang Jiang to be NBA's first Chinese minority owner

Heck, I would want to buy a stake in the Timberwolves too if I were a billionaire. Things are finally looking up for Minnesota with cornerstone players Carl-Anthony Towns and Wiggins. After taking Providence point guard Kris Dunn fifth, it may be time to part ways with Rubio, who just couldn't fix his jump shots.
Now it's up to Thibodeau to bring out the best in this young group of players. It was a genuine pain last season watching Sam Mitchell coaching this team.

Eagle Nice's (2368.HK) 34% decline vs 52-week high of HK$2.82 (Nov. 23) likely have priced in lackluster 2H results. Full-year dividend payout of 17 HK cents yields 9.2% and looks sustainable, hence providing downside protection. Risk is if there will be another warm winter which impossible to forecast. No catalysts for now so probably best just keeping current positions unless there is steep post-results fall. Shares down 4% at HK$1.85 Friday.

no zuo no die
用 no zuo no die 來形容這次脫歐公投應該妥貼。Brexit vs Bremain,最後结果竟然是Bregret。大批英國民眾不滿公投結果,在下議院請願網站聯署,要求推翻公投結果,並舉行第二次公投。
金融市場的反映似乎過激。英國經濟仍然是英國經濟,該貿易還得貿易,該融資照樣融資,優惠可能少點但不會是翻天覆地的巨變。兩種觀點我尤其不買帳,一是英國經濟會衰退進而拖累歐洲乃至全球經濟,二是其他歐盟國家會東施效顰然後歐盟土崩瓦解。
對於第一個觀點,英國現在是英國,不是大英帝國,二則想像力無限發揮。不是說不可能,而是中間變數太多而且這樣的 scenario 即使 play out 也是經年累月的事情,哪能現在一下子就 discount 在資產價格上。
回說港股,上周除了脫歐的黑天鵝,另一個持續發酵的因素應是滔滔不絕的北水南下。套用大陸用語,一是港股確實是"價值窪地",其二這些南下資金部分應該是為了規避人民幣貶值的風險(和來香港買保險一個道理)。
操作上,週五買了不少貨,明天有機會繼續血拼。今年上半年是操作困難的半年,希望下半年做得更好。
Nightwing says wearing these is like wearing Kobe 4 or 5, "but on steroids." Kobe 4 is one of my all-time favourites. If this is Kobe 4 on steroids, I'm all for it. Adidas is killing it with Boost. Nike, you need to step it up. KD 9 is nice, but 1399? NOOOOO

你巧勁啊
問題並不在於原意、初心是不是好,也不在於某一具體條款對行業內不同公司的影響,而是對於A4治國的擔憂甚或恐懼。 不能自己是個錘子,看到什麼都是釘子。經濟都什麼樣了,還要監管這個規範那個。更要命的是,整頓監管思路太直接太幼稚。哦,把房價弄下來,把教培打掉,然後也不讓玩遊戲,那麼大家都...

兒子: 首先我要開宗明義,我和你媽媽是不贊成你現階段去參加遊行集會的。原因之前也和你談過,我覺得形成文字能夠更清晰表達爸爸的觀點。我不指望(因為我知道這是奢望)你能夠完全接受我的觀點,但是起碼希望你能夠耐心看完這封信。 我們看著你長大已將近17年,知道你從小非常執著於對與...

別瞎扯什麼這次的180度轉向是經過深思熟慮。前有新加坡優等生的经验,後有香港劣等生的教訓,如果真是深思熟慮,3月上海之後的這半年多時間,就應該竭盡全力提高老年人接種率,對民眾進行實事求是的科普,加緊建立分層治療制度,而不是自己刮自己大嘴巴,實行令人猝不及防的群體免疫。 不僅僅是防...

為什麼美歐日韓等等要 gang up on C?很簡單,道理祇有一條,C不僅動了他們的奶酪,還要動他們的根基。中國去年的汽車出口已經超越德國,僅次於日本,這擱十年前是完全不可想像的。 C不講武德,卷就卷到極致。下面這塊skeleton mechanical watch,要是貼上...

在比亞迪(1211)和小米(1810)摧枯拉朽升勢帶動下,組合再創今年新高。同樣做出貢獻的還有信義玻璃(0868),拖後腿的則繼續是物管和中糧肉食(1610)。 比亞迪、小米和信義輕輕「係咁意」獲了一點利,物管則輕輕加了一點時代鄰里(9928),另外象徵性加了一點世茂(0813)...

投資可以很複雜,也可以很簡單,有時候簡化到最簡單的層面,就是黑白分明的兩種結果:信或者不信? 信不信碧桂園服務(6098)的盈利警告其實是對空頭的⚠? 信不信碧桂園服務真正和碧桂園(2007)做到切割? 信不信得過楊家父女的人品? 如果三個問題的答案都是yes,那麼這就是一盤扣除...

看曾鈺成《AM730》專欄方知蔡元培《自由與放縱》一文,網上找來一讀,成文或許一個世紀前,然而歷久彌新,振聾發聵,可惜讀過的人有幾許。 文章開章明義說明自由的重要,“自由,美德也。若思想,若身體,若言論,若居處,若職業,若集會,無不有一自由之程度。若受外界之壓制而不及其度,則盡力...
