大举做空英伟达的大空头Michael究竟是慧眼如炬还是逆势妄为？

最近很多新闻都在疯狂炒作13F公布的美股大空头Michael Burry的空头持仓，因为在公布的持仓当中显示Michael Burry通过期权大量看空英伟达和Palantir两家AI行业的风头企业。

Michael因为在08年的次贷危机中大幅看空美国的地产行业通过金融衍生品CDS的互换合约在08年全球性的金融危机中大赚特赚了一笔而成名，此后根据其真实经历改编的电影《大空头》更是风靡全球。

近期从监管部门的公开资料中显示Michael Burry管理的Scion在2025年的Q3披露文件中显示买入了大量的英伟达和Palantir 的看空期权，其中1.87亿美元看空英伟达，9.12亿美元看空Palantir，市场也被这波操作吸引带动，两家公司股价承压后连续下挫，甚至是Palantir的CEO在社媒上破防怒斥为何要做空那些赚的盆满钵满的公司？

其实实际情况是媒体在新闻上喜欢噱头来博取眼球，看似8成仓位押注两家AI企业暴跌的持仓实际上是他持仓的看空期权的名义价值，而真实对应的期权成本可能远远小于实际情况。Michael习惯性的运用金融衍生品工具的特性，利用可控范围的风险对可能产生的AI泡沫破裂进行重要压注。并不是说他真的把80%管理的资产押注在了两家风头正盛的公司的暴跌上，而且因为相关信息的缺失，什么时候离场，以及是否在对冲其他持仓等因素其实外界并无法确切知悉，所以现在就对美股AI报以极度悲观的态度是非常情绪化且不准确的。

而根据Michael自08年以后的投资来看其交易实际上并不是每次都很准，具体总结如下：

• 2015年12月预测股市崩盘：Burry在2015年底公开警告股市将在未来几个月内崩溃然而，S&P 500在随后一年（2016年）上涨约11.96%

• 2020年3月重注看空市场：Burry在疫情初期下重注做空但从2020年3月低点起，美股在12个月内反弹约72%这被视为他的重大失误之一。

• 2022年9月警告股市未触底：Burry在9月发推警告市场将持续“失败“，尚未见底但从2022年9月到2023年8月，S&P 500反弹约21%他的预测又一次“早于市场“。

• 2023年1月敦促“卖出“：Burry在1月底发单字推文“Sell”，预言经济衰退和新通胀浪潮，结果，S&P 500在2023年全年上涨约24.23%，远超他的悲观预期。

那对于普通投资者究竟如何合理看待这种明星基金经理的持仓呢？

其实大部分资管公司都有自己的持仓和投资逻辑，无论是多还是空，可能都是整体布局的一个部分，媒体放大一个角落使得很多投资者在面对相关问题时显得管中窥豹一般无法总览全局，从Michael的一系列表态中也可以看出他虽然暗示了本轮AI的泡沫和2000年科网崩盘存在相似性，将其作为对市场的警告或许不失为一种合理的看待方式，但是这并不意味本轮AI的发展和走势就将戛然而止，AI的发展或将在接下来更长期的时间里影响每一个人的生活。

Markets retreated last week, pulling back about 2.5-3% from record levels. While the decline is modest, it is marked by several headwinds that could create further pressure this week.

Government Shutdown Reaches Historic Length

The ongoing shutdown has now reached record duration, and there's still no clear resolution in sight. Healthcare remains the primary sticking point between the two sides. Some reports suggest potential progress, but the jury's still out on whether any deal will materialise or gain bipartisan support before the Thanksgiving holiday season.

Key Economic Data May Be Delayed

The shutdown's impact extends to data releases. Market-influencing government reports, including jobs numbers and CPI data, may be delayed this week — CPI is still technically scheduled, but the shutdown could affect its release. This data delay will make it harder to gauge the economy's true direction and could inject further volatility into markets.

Earnings Season Continues to Impress

Despite these macro headwinds, corporate America is delivering exceptional results. We're seeing an 82% EPS beat rate and 77% of companies exceeding revenue expectations. While we're in the final 10% of S&P 500 reports, some important retail stocks are still due. These consumer-facing companies could provide valuable insights into spending patterns and economic health.

NVIDIA Tests Critical Support Level

AI stocks are facing pressure, with NVIDIA testing a key technical level around $180-$185. The stock experienced five consecutive days of losses before bouncing strongly on Friday with a major wick rejection. If support at $180 breaks, we could see a drop to $165. However, Friday's bounce suggests a possible retest of $193. This is a crucial moment for the AI sector leader, and its direction could influence broader tech sentiment.

Key economic events

Keep up to date with the upcoming economic events for the week.

Artificial intelligence stocks have begun to waver slightly, experiencing a selloff period in the first week of this month. The Nasdaq has fallen approximately 2%, wiping out around $500 billion in market value from top technology companies.

Palantir Technologies dropped nearly 8% despite beating Wall Street estimates and issuing strong guidance, highlighting growing investor concerns about stretched valuations in the AI sector.

Nvidia shares also fell roughly 4%, while the broader selloff extended to Asian markets, which experienced some of their sharpest declines since April.

Wall Street executives, including Morgan Stanley CEO Ted Pick and Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon, warned of potential 10-20% drawdowns in equity markets over the coming year.

And Michael Burry, famous for predicting the 2008 housing crisis, recently revealed his $1.1 billion bet against both Nvidia and Palantir, further pushing the narrative that the AI rally may be overextended.

As we near 2026, the sentiment around AI is seemingly starting to shift, with investors beginning to seek evidence of tangible returns on the massive investments flowing into AI, rather than simply betting on future potential.

However, despite the recent turbulence, many are simply characterising this pullback as "healthy" profit-taking rather than a fundamental reassessment of AI's value.

Supreme Court Raises Doubts About Trump’s Tariffs

The US Supreme Court heard arguments overnight on the legality of President Donald Trump's "liberation day" tariffs, with judges from both sides of the political spectrum expressing scepticism about the presidential authority being claimed.

Trump has relied on a 1970s-era emergency law, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), to impose sweeping tariffs on goods imported into the US.

At the centre of the case are two core questions: whether the IEEPA authorises these sweeping tariffs, and if so, whether Trump’s implementation is constitutional.

Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett indicated they may be inclined to strike down or curb the majority of the tariffs, while Justice Brett Kavanaugh questioned why no president before Trump had used this authority.

Prediction markets saw the probability of the court upholding the tariffs drop from 40% to 25% after the hearing.

The US government has collected $151 billion from customs duties in the second half of 2025 alone, a nearly 300% increase over the same period in 2024.

Should the court rule against the tariffs, potential refunds could reach approximately $100 billion.

The court has not indicated a date on which it will issue its final ruling, though the Trump administration has requested an expedited decision.

Shutdown Becomes Longest in US History

The US government shutdown entered its 36th day today, officially becoming the longest in history. It surpasses the previous 35-day record set during Trump's first term from December 2018 to January 2019.

The Senate has failed 14 times to advance spending legislation, falling short of the 60-vote supermajority by five votes in the most recent vote.

So far, approximately 670,000 federal employees have been furloughed, and 730,000 are currently working without pay. Over 1.3 million active-duty military personnel and 750,000 National Guard and reserve personnel are also working unpaid.

SNAP food stamp benefits ran out of funding on November 1 — something 42 million Americans rely on weekly. However, the Trump administration has committed to partial payments to subsidise the benefits, though delivery could take several weeks.

Flight disruptions have affected 3.2 million passengers, with staffing shortages hitting more than half of the nation's 30 major airports. Nearly 80% of New York's air traffic controllers are absent.

From a market perspective, each week of shutdown reduces GDP by approximately 0.1%. The Congressional Budget Office estimates the total cost of the shutdown will be between $7 billion and $14 billion, with the higher figure assuming an eight-week duration.

Consumer spending could drop by $30 billion if the eight-week duration is reached, according to White House economists, with potential GDP impacts of up to 2 percentage points total.
