近日，以准确预测2008年次贷危机而闻名的"大空头"Michael Burry接受了一档播客节目的访谈。 在对话中，Michael Burry对当前美股市场的展望持极度悲观态度，认为未来几年可能会迎来一场类似 2000年的长期熊市。他判断，由于被动投资（指数基金）占据市场主导地位（超过50%），未来市场下 跌时将是"一体下跌"，在美国很难靠多头仓位保护自己。 Burry将当前的AI投资热潮类比为2000年的"数据传输泡沫"，指出两者都存在资本开支与股市见顶的时 滞。 他押注Palantir在两年内会大幅下跌，看空的核心理由是其不合理的估值和不健康的财务结构，特别是 公司在收入不高的情况下，通过大量高成本的股权激励造就了多位亿万富翁，而历史上几乎没有赚到过 真正的利润。 Burry对美联储持有最尖锐的批判态度，认为其成立百年"没做什么真正有益的事"，主张废除美联储， 将其职能交给财政部。 以下为访谈亮点总结： 1、我认为现在股市的状况不妙，未来几年可能会很糟糕，可能会迎来一段类似 2000 年那样的长期熊 市。 2、现在，我认为整个市场会一体下跌，在美国很难靠持有多头仓位同时保护自己。 3、例如，Palanti ...

Core Viewpoint - Michael Burry expresses a highly pessimistic outlook on the U.S. stock market, predicting a prolonged bear market similar to that of 2000, driven by the dominance of passive investment strategies [2][5][21]. Group 1: Market Outlook - Burry believes that the current market structure, dominated by passive funds (over 50%), will lead to a scenario where the entire market declines simultaneously, making it difficult to protect oneself with long positions [6][24]. - He compares the current AI investment frenzy to the "data transmission bubble" of 2000, noting a lag between capital expenditure and market peaks [3][8]. - Burry anticipates that Palantir's stock, currently at $200, is overvalued and should be worth $30 or less, leading him to buy out-of-the-money put options with a strike price of $50 [6][11].

Group 3: AI and Google - Burry warns that AI poses a serious threat to Google's core cash flow from its search business, as AI search is significantly more expensive compared to traditional search methods [3][42]. - He argues that most users will access AI services for free, and the willingness to pay for large models will be minimal, with real profits likely confined to the developer ecosystem [9][43]. Group 4: Critique of the Federal Reserve - Burry holds a sharp critique of the Federal Reserve, claiming it has not contributed positively over its century-long existence and advocates for its abolition, suggesting that its functions should be transferred to the Treasury [4][48][49].
