"我不喜欢它的战略定位和正在进行的投资。它本不必这样做,我也不知道它为何如此。或许是出于自 负," 伯里在回复读者关于为何选择做空英伟达而非甲骨文的提问时写道。他未披露此次期权交易的具 体细节。 智通财经APP获悉,以押注2008年金融危机而闻名的知名投资人迈克尔·伯里,正将其对人工智能热潮 的质疑转化为对科技巨头甲骨文公司(ORCL.US)的实质性做空。 市场周五收盘后,伯里在其博客中透露,他已持有甲骨文股票的看跌期权。通常,当标的资产价格下跌 时,看跌期权的价值会上升。伯里表示,过去六个月中他亦曾直接做空甲骨文。此前在去年11月,他已 披露了对AI芯片巨头英伟达(NVDA.US)和数据公司Palantir(PLTR.US)的看空头寸。 尽管甲骨文以其数据库软件闻名,但近期正大举押注云计算服务,为此不得不投入巨资建设数据中心产 能,并承担了显著的债务压力。 他认为,这些公司很可能会逐步控制支出,消化产能过剩带来的损失,并可能进行资产减记,但仍将在 核心业务中保持主导地位。"这三家公司不会消失,"他补充道。 伯里表示,若以5000亿美元估值计,他愿意做空OpenAI,这进一步凸显了其对AI建设速度和经济效益 ...
