思科股价超过互联网泡沫期间创下的峰值记录
网络巨头思科股价周三达到了 80.25 美元,终于超过了 25 年前互联网泡沫(dotcom-era)期间创下的 80.06 美元峰值记录。互联网泡沫期思科的市值曾在短时间内超过微软成为全世界市值最高的公司。思科股价的复苏之路花了 25 年 8 个月零 13 天。思科的基本面在此期间有显著改善:自 1999 年以来,营收增长近五倍,利润增长四倍,每股收益增长八倍,利润率保持在健康水平。但在峰值期间买入思科股票的投资者在长达 25 年里还是因通货膨胀而蒙受损失。思科的轨迹与英伟达有相似之处,作为最大的 AI 芯片供应商英伟达因 AI 热而一跃成为全世界市值最高的企业,其市盈率超过 45 倍,企业价值接近 24 倍销售额。思科在 2000 年市盈率超过 200 倍,企业价值 31 倍销售额。 via Solidot

瑞士考虑将人口上限设置在 1000 万
极右翼政党支持率的不断攀升施压欧洲各国政府加强移民管控。瑞士即将就一项提案进行投票,该提案把移民管控推向了新的高度——设定人口上限。如果瑞士居民人数从目前的约 900 万增至 1000 万以上,那么根据该提案瑞士可能全面禁止新移民入境,不管难民、技术工人还是年薪六位数的高级经理都一视同仁。根据瑞士的全民公投政策,公民预计会在明年就该提案进行投票表决。而民调显示该提案很可能会获得批准。限制人口流动从来不会有利于经济发展,全面限制新移民被认为可能会导致瑞士关键技能人才缺乏,损害国家竞争力。投票结果将展示公民为了维护国家的吸引力而愿意做出怎样的选择。右翼的瑞士人民党(Swiss People's Party)在上次选举中赢得了 28% 的选票,其竞选纲领将瑞士公民身份刻画成一种特权而非权利。该党在 2023 年提出了限制人口数量的设想,将其包装成一种保护瑞士生活方式和防止环境受到过度人类活动破坏的方法。 via Solidot
