Looking at the recent trends in the capital markets, an interesting phenomenon can be observed — the cycle of industrial innovation seems to be guiding the rotation of investment hotspots.

Reflecting on the past few years, from 2019 to 2021, the new energy sector represented by lithium batteries indeed attracted a large influx of capital, and related stocks yielded considerable returns. By 2024, the performance of autonomous driving concept stocks caught the eye of many investors. In the first half of 2025, humanoid robots and computing power concepts became market focal points, with impressive gains. The commercial aerospace sector soared in the second half of the year. At the beginning of 2026, stocks in the frontier field of brain-computer interfaces began to emerge.

Behind these ups and downs in the market, it seems to correspond to strategic layouts of certain business empires. From energy, transportation, robots, to aerospace and brain-computer interfaces, each sector points to the same business logic — focusing on future technologies and betting on long-term trends.

The insight for investors is that true wealth opportunities are often hidden within the context of industrial innovation. If you have already profited from these waves, it is indeed fortunate. If not, perhaps it’s more important to carefully study the business thinking behind these industrial trends — understanding this logic can greatly benefit your asset allocation and investment decisions.

The logic of topic hot spots rotating... It seems to me like a perfect post-hoc rationalization, but what about the risk exposure? Wait, why isn't there a specific multiple mentioned for the lithium battery gains from 2019 to 2021? This data is incomplete. And once again, the phrase "hidden opportunities" is used; when the liquidation threshold is triggered, it’s no longer hidden.

It's all just following the trend; only a few major players truly benefit.

Oh no, it's another story of a "certain business empire." Even when it's exposed, people still follow the trend? This wave of brain-computer interfaces... I feel like it's just gambling on the concept. Honestly, following the trend never makes money; the real opportunity lies in early deployment. The new energy wave did make money, but now it feels a bit late to enter. As for computing power and robots, I find the logic behind this round a bit hard to understand. Industry context belongs to the industry, but this theory seems to be applicable every time? It feels like playing "predict the future," but it's probably better to focus on solid fundamentals.

Wow, isn't this talking about someone's investment landscape? From new energy to aerospace and then to brain-computer interfaces, a single thread runs through it... Smart people must have understood it all.

It's the same old "follow the trend and make money" rhetoric again, but ask yourself, do you really understand the underlying logic? Regretted selling new energy stocks, then jumped into robotics, only to get caught in another round of harvest haha. Is following a certain business empire's footsteps in stocks investing or gambling? Honestly, it's just armchair strategizing after the fact. Wait for the next hot trend to rise and then regret it bitterly. Computing power, brain-machine interfaces, aerospace... every time they say this time is different, but in the end, the cash flow from stable assets is even more attractive. I've heard too many of these "industry chains," but reality is often that by the time the chives want to invest after hearing about it, they've already bought at high prices.

Wow, isn't this just talking about someone's industry layout? They can always predict the next trend every time.

Speaking of chasing so many hot trends, it really feels like following a big shot’s roadmap to invest in stocks.

Talking about the shifting trends again? Basically, it's just copying the moves of the big players.
