尽管就业和房地产市场出现了越来越多的不利迹象，但美国主要股指仍持续上涨。整体经济增长似乎依然强 劲。但分析师警告称，一场堪比互联网泡沫的危机正在悄然酝酿。 美国经济和股市受到巨额且不可持续的财政赤字支出以及人工智能支出爆炸式增长的推动。 包括亿万富翁基金经理大卫.艾因霍恩在内的人士开始担忧巨额人工智能投资是否会带来回报。《哈佛商业 评论》最近也发表了一项研究，对人工智能是否能真正提高生产力提出了质疑。 在Seeking Alpha撰稿人Bret Jensen看来，当前的经济/市场形势越来越像1999年的情景，也就是2000年初互联 网泡沫破裂前的那段时间。 Jensen强调，当前市场/经济中的三个关键趋势与1999年互联网繁荣末期情况惊人地相似。 1.估值已变得"疯狂" 高估值或许是这两个时期最明显的相似之处。标普500信息技术板块的预期市销率达到8.8倍。这远高于互联 网繁荣末期的水平，也是有史以来的最高水平。 标普500信息技术板块的预期市销率 2."供应商融资"回归 年长的投资者可能还记得"供应商融资"曾迅猛增长。在这种模式中，像思科(CSCO.US)这样的供应商会在销 售的同时，以优惠的条件为购买其设 ...
