對沖基金寰宇投資(Universa Investments)的聯合創始人兼首席投資官馬克·斯皮茲納格爾經常針對泡沫破滅和其他極端市場事件拉響警報。
作為《黑天鵝》(The Black Swan)作者納西姆·尼古拉斯·塔勒布的門生,斯皮茲納格爾在接受《華爾街日報》采訪時表示,一場嚴重的股災即將發生,而且美股市值可能蒸發超過一半,他還認為他最近的警告不應該令人意外。
斯皮茲納格爾說道:“我認為,非常非常糟糕的事情即將發生——當然,我會這么說?!?/p>
他的對沖基金專門從事尾部風險對沖交易,這種策略旨在防止因前所未有和不太可能發生的經濟災難(又稱“黑天鵝”)造成損失。
他因在這類黑天鵝事件中獲利豐厚而聞名,包括新冠疫情,而且他最近就美國的負債和“人類史上最嚴重的信貸泡沫”發出了警告。
雖然美股較近期的最高點大幅下降,其中標普500指數經歷了自4月以來最糟糕的一周,但是斯皮茲納格爾預計,市場漲勢會持續幾個月,而且漲幅更大,因為通脹放緩和美聯儲降息所帶來的“金發姑娘階段”,將刺激投資者對市場繼續上漲的預期。
但他也警告美聯儲降息通常是市場開始嚴重逆轉的信號。他對《華爾街日報》表示:“做空市場的主張,不會讓你覺得自己是個傻瓜?!?/p>
斯皮茲納格爾表示,當下的情形可以與互聯網泡沫破滅相提并論,但即將到來的暴跌將更加嚴重。他補充說,這是因為目前的市場極端情況代表了“人類史上最嚴重的泡沫”。
他預測,美國負債已經達到歷史水平,聯邦政府將無力應對,而且到今年年底,美國經濟將陷入衰退。
斯皮茲納格爾最近的觀點,與他今年4月對《財富》雜志的維爾·丹尼爾表達的觀點遙相呼應。他當時表示,僅靠投資者的積極情緒,無法讓市場持續走高,而且更高的利率會影響美國經濟。
他說道:“美聯儲做了許多事情?,F在,人們似乎在強烈呼吁美聯儲收手。但它無法收回已經做過的事情。市場終究要遵循基本面,但總會出現一些‘金發女孩’行情,市場會脫離基本面?!?/p>
最近幾天,美聯儲主席杰羅姆·鮑威爾和其他央行均暗示,通貨膨脹終于受到控制,而且可能很快就會降息,市場普遍預測美聯儲會在9月降息。
但斯皮茲納格爾在4月表示,“從某種程度上來說,有史以來最快、最嚴重的緊縮政策,催生了人類史上最嚴重的信貸泡沫”,其后果是無法避免的。他補充說“到那時,情況會變得非常糟糕,而且在某種程度上,想要脫身可能為時已晚”。(財富中文網)

Mark Spitznagel, cofounder and chief investment officer of the hedge fund Universa Investments, has frequently sounded the alarm about bubbles popping and other extreme market events.
In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, the long-time associate of The Black Swan author Nassim Nicholas Taleb said a severe crash is on the way and stocks could lose more than half their value, while acknowledging that his latest warning should come as no surprise.
“I think we’re on the way to something really, really bad—but of course I’d say that,” Spitznagel said.
His hedge fund specializes in tail-risk hedging, a strategy that seeks to prevent losses from unforeseeable and unlikely economic catastrophes, also known as “black swans.”
He had famously made astronomical gains on such events, including the COVID-19 pandemic, and more recently has warned about U.S. debt and the “greatest credit bubble in human history.“
Even as stocks have come well off recent highs, with the S&P 500 suffering its worst week since April, Spitznagel expects the market rally to continue for months and get wilder because the “Goldilocks phase” of slowing inflation and rate cuts from the Federal Reserve will stoke bets that markets will continue running higher.
But he also warned Fed rate cuts are often the opening signal for severe market reversals, telling the Journal that “You don’t feel like a fool for making a bearish argument.”
Spitznagel sees parallels between today and the dot-com bust but thinks the selloff that’s coming will be even worse than that. That’s because market extremes now represent the “greatest bubble in human history,” he added.
With U.S. debt already at historic levels, the federal government will have less capacity to respond, and the economy could enter a recession by the end of this year, he predicted.
Spitznagel’s latest comments echo what he told?Fortune’s?Will Daniel in April, when he said investors’ positive sentiment alone can’t carry markets higher indefinitely and that higher rates are weighing on the economy.
“The Fed did a lot. And now it’s sort of jawboning its way out of it. But it can’t take back what it did,” he said. “Markets follow fundamentals at the end of the day, but you can have these little Goldilocks zones where it can get sort of untethered.”
Fed Chairman Jerome Powell and other central banks have hinted in recent days that inflation is finally coming under control and that rate cuts may be coming soon, with markets widely seeing the first one in September.
But Spitznagel said in April that fallout from the “the fastest, greatest tightening ever, by some regards, into the greatest credit bubble of human history” can’t be avoided, adding “That’s when things are going to be really bad—and at that point, it’s probably also too late to get out.”
