北京，中国——你是否知道在美国，工人辛苦所得低到一小时3～5美元？而靠这点
收入很难生存，因为“路边小店一顿饭每人要花20～40美元”。
这些奇怪而错误的说法只是周小平写的《梦碎美利坚》一文中很多这种说法的一部
分。这个月，在“文艺座谈会”上中国国家主席习近平把此人（连同其同行博客写手花
千芳）特地挑出来表扬之后，这个33岁的博客写手已成为北京官方最推崇的人。习主席
表扬这两个人的作品拥有“正能量”。
周被证明了是一个特别有争议的选择。
他最著名的文章之一，题为《美国对华文化冷战的九大绝招》，是一篇反美文章，
声称好莱坞是美国破坏中国的阴谋的一部分，并把美国人对待中国人的态度比做希特勒
对待犹太人。
实际上，自从上世纪90年代末像《活佛》《红色角落》这样的电影产生争议以来，
好莱坞很担心会由于批评中国而失去一个巨大的市场。恰恰相反：2014年的大片《变形
金刚4》是一部自大、饱受批评的续集，因为赤裸裸地推销中国品牌和迎合中国人的感
情而受到冷嘲热讽。

我基本上是搞ETF。首先要有个大前题
大前提就是我觉得欧洲那边会有影响，而且股市涨得厉害，觉得是要回调了，所以就买

然后就是准备有意外，
没想到5/6号那天会那么恐慌，那天卖了一半的FAZ,TZA，也在大下将近一千点的时候抄

然后就是观察，抓信号。5/6好的讯号很重要，首次显示market原来已经很skittish.
接下来该涨的时候不涨，那就得下得更凶。该下的时候不下，那可能有短期底了。
