2. Is the Dow 40,000 points not a dream in 2021? Wall Street is bullish on value stocks

Patrick Spencer, vice president of equities at Baird, an investment bank, thinks the Dow could reach the 40, 000 mark by 2021.

On Wednesday, he explained on the CNBC programThere are more value stocks in the Dow than growth stocks, and value stocks are expected to perform better when the market stabilizes.

There are still many people disappointed to enter the market, many people remain silent about entering the market, and the stock market is still generally unpopular. We think the Dow could reach 40000 next year because the composition of the index values value stocks rather than growth stocks.

Muddy Waters, a short seller, said publicly that Huanju Times was a "fraudulent technology company", claiming that 90 per cent of its revenue from its live broadcast business was fake and that 80 per cent of its overseas business Bigo Live was fake.On the eve of shorting, Baidu announced that it would buy Huanju's YY Live for $3.6 billion (23.6 billion yuan).

However, among Muddy Waters' allegations of fraud, Baidu's most valued core asset is suspected of fraud. The Muddy Waters accusation mainly includes three aspects:

• 50% of the virtual gifts rewarded by the Huanju platform come from the company's own servers, and 40% come from external robots or anchors' own "internal loops".

• In the case of fake virtual gifts, the income of the VJ at the head of the platform is actually not as high as the outside world thought.

• The guild is involved in fraud. According to the comparison of the Huanju financial report and the corporate credit report of the five major guilds, it is found that the actual income of the guild in 2018 is less than 15% of the amount announced by Huanju.
