"我预计最终会有一场80%（跌幅）的崩盘……但只有在一次大规模的、令人兴奋的、历史性的反弹之后 （才会发生）。我认为我们现在正处于反弹的中间阶段，而不是结束阶段。"他补充说。 华尔街最悲观的对冲基金经理之一、擅长从尾部风险中获利的"黑天鹅基金"创始人最新表示，市场的乐观 情绪可能会推动美国股市再上涨20%，然后紧跟着就是一场类似于"引发全球经济衰退的1929年股灾"的崩 盘。 今年迄今，标普500指数已累计上涨超13%。在美联储上周自去年12月以来首次降息后，该指数周一再度创 下历史新高。美联储已经暗示可能会进一步降息，因为它试图抵消劳动力市场的疲软，这可能会加剧并扩 大美股涨势。 在接受最新采访时，黑天鹅基金Universa Investments创始人马克•斯皮茨纳格尔（Mark Spitznagel）指出， 他认为股市可能会在当前水平上再上涨20%左右，从而推动标准普尔500指数突破8,000点。 然而与此同时，他也警告说，随着美国经济有可能在借贷成本负担居高不下的影响下出现崩溃，美股这种 上涨可能最终会导致一场历史性的崩溃。 "我们将看到这样做的后果……这需要时间。"他说。 斯皮茨纳格尔曾是一名交易员 ...

美国最新的消费者信心指数的进一步大幅下滑对美联储本月议息会议上重启降息进程起到一定的支撑。从目前公布的一 系列最新的经济数据看，美联储本月降息几乎是板上钉钉的事情。有机构甚至认为，美联储本月会一次降息50个基点。 笔者认为，美联储本月降息25个基点是更大概率的事情，未来一段时间内美联储仍然会在降息问题上秉持谨慎态度，大 幅而快速降息的概率不大，除非美国经济出现了非常明显的加速下行的趋势。 目前，特朗普总统的关税政策仍然存在很大的变数，由此带给美国经济的不确定性仍然存在，这给美国经济带来了相当 的负面压力。 9月12日公布的数据显示，美国9月密歇根大学消费者信心指数从前值58.2下降至55.4。美国9月密歇根大学消费者信心指 数从上月处于的历史低位进一步大幅下滑，这表明美国经济的最重要的支柱消费正在进一步恶化。 与此同时，美国经济还面临着来自"黑天鹅事件"的可能的负面冲击。这使得美国经济的前景更加扑朔迷离。 JerryZang 免责声明：本文内容及观点仅供参考，不构成任何投资建议。投资者据此操作，风险自担。一切有关市场的准确信息， 请以相关官方公告为准。市场有风险，投资需谨慎。 ...
