The current supply and demand situation in the U.S. stock market is the worst since 2002, similar to the period just before the burst of the internet bubble in 1999. He plans to short the U.S. stock market for the entire year next year. His reasoning is that the buybacks and mergers and acquisitions that have supported the bull market over the past four years have continued to compress stock supply, but this logic is now reversing: large IPOs like Anthropic and OpenAI are about to come, SpaceX's issuance has just been completed, and many companies will also issue additional financing for AI development.He also listed the U.S. fiscal deficit as another major hidden danger, believing that the likelihood of the market being forced to correct is 60 to 40. Regarding crude oil, he holds a long position, believing that the U.S.-Iran conflict is unlikely to be resolved in the short term, and that oil prices still have a potential increase of 20 to 25 dollars.
