Topics
Chamath Palihapitiya:由于市场环境变化和估值过高,难以找到合适的 SPAC 投资机会,风险回报比不佳,因此关闭了两家 SPAC 并将资金返还给投资者。他自去年11月以来就一直警告市场存在风险,并从那时起开始系统性地减持股票以管理流动性。他认为,大多数剩余的 SPAC 可能会清算并返还资金,但仍然存在一些有吸引力的投资机会,例如能源和农业领域。 David Sacks:SPAC 难以找到合适的投资目标,部分原因是优质公司数量有限,以及对 SPAC 机制的误解。他认为,私营公司目前不太考虑上市,正在利用现有资金来改善估值,同时降低运营成本。他认为美联储加息预期超出预期,经济形势不容乐观,市场风险暴露,劣质公司将被淘汰。他指出部分投资者在投资决策中缺乏尽职调查,劣质项目会吸引缺乏尽职调查的投资者,最终导致投资失败。 Jason:他认为,美国风投机构拥有大量未部署资金,但市场环境依然严峻,融资难度增加。他指出,风投机构公布的未部署资金数据可能存在滞后性和偏差,部分风投机构在市场下跌前已部署了大量资金。他认为,尽管风投机构拥有大量资金,但市场环境依然严峻,融资难度增加。 Chamath Palihapitiya:他认为,未来18个月美国消费者将面临艰难时期,但股市可能触底反弹。通货膨胀将持续存在,股市将在今年年底或明年初触底。他分析了劳伦斯·萨默斯对经济形势的担忧,以及政府的应对措施,使得经济形势难以预测。为了解决通货膨胀问题,需要提高失业率,这将引发政治回应,进而导致更多通货膨胀。能源价格、债务违约风险和中国房地产泡沫等因素增加了市场的不确定性。 David Sacks:他认为,普京的行动增加了市场的不确定性,西方国家没有寻求外交解决方案的迹象,而是试图通过施压迫使普京下台。他认为,目前局势存在升级风险,普京下台后的后果难以预测。他分析了西方媒体对俄罗斯局势的解读可能存在偏差,评估普京的行动需要考虑其过往行为和可能的动机。他认为,美国历史上曾多次考虑使用核武器,美国领导层是否具备在核危机中达成妥协的能力值得商榷。 Jason:他认为,美国在经济低迷时期更容易卷入冲突,经济低迷时期,政府更容易寻求外部冲突来转移国内矛盾。政府机构的腐败和经济低迷增加了社会动荡的风险。
