伯里再启"预言家"模式，斥资1000万美元做空AI双雄。但问题在于他不确定泡沫何时会破。网友调 侃："他过去预测20次衰退，只中2次"...... 由于过早地嗅到危机而成为人群中的异类，迈克尔·伯里（Michael Burry）对这类"剧情"并不陌生。 正如电影《大空头》（The Big Short）中的经典场景：克里斯蒂安·贝尔（Christian Bale）饰演的伯里， 向投资者说明他做空美国房地产市场的押注。若判断正确，市场崩盘后，这位对冲基金经理将通过类似 保险的合约斩获7亿美元巨额收益；若判断失误，他的基金将在几个季度内破产。 "等着瞧，一定会有回报的，"电影里的伯里说道，"我或许下手早了，但我没说错。" "又是 老一套！"一位投资者反驳道。 如今，现实中的伯里正试图说服华尔街：他能从人工智能（AI）企业英伟达（NVDA）和Palantir （PLTR）的股价下跌中获利。今年以来，AI行业一直是推动市场创下历史新高的核心动力，但过去十 年大多保持低调的伯里，近期再度现身，直言AI板块存在泡沫，且即将破裂。 但问题在于：他不确定泡沫何时会破。 伯里这种直言不讳的"异类"，很适合成为迈克尔·刘易斯（Mi ...
