  • David Einhorn's Greenlight Capital says a bear market in stocks has already started, and that they're making a handful of defensive trades.

In his Q1 letter, David Einhorn of Greenlight Capital expressed a bearish outlook on the stock market, predicting that the S&P 500 could fall another 20% by the end of 2025 due to persistent inflation and the Federal Reserve's inability to cut interest rates. He highlighted the challenges faced by the Fed, suggesting that even if inflation decreases, the central bank might not lower rates quickly enough to prevent an economic downturn. Einhorn also discussed his investments, noting a significant position in gold as a hedge against inflation and market volatility, and mentioned that Greenlight's portfolio had a strong performance in Q1, returning 11.7% net of fees, outperforming the S&P 500's 10.2% gain.
