该策略之所以引人注目，是因为其时机和规模都恰到好处。根据数据，联合健康公司的股票目前的交易价格接近五年来的最低点，较其 52 周内的最高价 630.73 美元下跌了 57.4%。 这些持股表明巴里和伯克希尔看好该行业的复苏前景，尤其是因为美国"医疗保险优势"计划的费率在 2026 年的预期数值已经超出实际水平，而联合健康集 团的竞争优势地位在近期遭遇挫折后依然稳固。 联合健康公司的多头持仓标志着巴里通常"看跌"的投资策略出现了显著转变。这位"大空头"投资者似乎正在这家遭受重创但品质优良的公司身上寻找价值， 期待着在联合健康经历动荡时期后实现股价上涨。 智通财经获悉，根据美国证券交易委员会(SEC)披露，好莱坞电影《大空头》原型、全球知名对冲基金经理迈克尔·巴里(Michael Burry)所管理的旗下Scion资 产管理公司递交了截至2025年6月30日的第二季度美股持仓报告(13F)。 据统计，"大空头"迈克尔·巴里旗下Scion在第二季度持仓总市值约为5.8亿美元，上一季度持仓总市值约为1.99亿美元，环比增长191.5%。该资产管理公司在 今年第二季度的投资组合中新增了14只个股，增持了0只个股，减持1 ...

Group 1 - The core viewpoint is that the current U.S. inflation data is masking underlying pressures from delayed tariff impacts, supply chain restructuring costs, and the depreciation of the dollar leading to rising import prices [1][2] - Short-term weakness in food and energy prices is suppressing CPI growth, but the increase in "super core inflation" excluding housing indicates a solidifying trend of price increases in core services and tariff-sensitive categories [1] - The immediate effects of U.S. tariffs are being delayed by importers stockpiling goods before tariffs take effect, leading to high inventory levels for sensitive items, which may result in price shocks in the fourth quarter as inventories are depleted [1][2] Group 2 - The Federal Reserve faces a dilemma with potential interest rate cuts in September amid a weakening job market, but premature cuts could lead to a repeat of the 1970s inflation mismanagement [2] - Historical data suggests that during periods of rapid policy shifts, market volatility (as measured by the VIX index) typically increases by 30%-50% [2] - The current inflation appears stable on the surface, but structural pressures are building, indicating a potential shift in market narrative from "rate cuts" to "inflation defense" in the fourth quarter [2]
