Evidence and source

Mark Spiegel: Bear Market Rally Almost Over? S&P 500 To Fall By Over 30% In Next 18 Months?
Published on Feb 17, 2023@ 31:25Open on YouTube

Our summary of the thesis

Strongly Bearish

Structured interpretation of the video, not a verbatim quotation. Check the source for conditions, emphasis and context.

Spiegel views Tesla as no longer a growth company but a commodity auto producer that slashed prices and profits in half. He expects Tesla to fall to low double digits as competition destroys margins and the growth story is completely busted.

Key arguments

  • January price cuts of ~12% per car slice profits roughly in half
  • Company will earn 25-35% less in 2023 than 2022 despite selling more units
  • Legacy automakers can cross-subsidize EV losses with profitable ICE vehicles
  • Superior competition from Hyundai/Kia EVs and other manufacturers
  • Musk's behavior has damaged the brand

Counter-arguments acknowledged

  • Recent rally was driven by call option gamma, not fundamentals
  • Stock was very oversold before the rally began

Hedges and caveats (from the video)

  • Spiegel acknowledges uncertainty about the exact composition of the rally (short squeeze vs. underinvestment)
  • Historical precedent cited: NASDAQ had multiple rallies of 30-50% during the 2000 tech bubble collapse, suggesting current rally is not unusual
  • Spiegel's fund is positioned short (Tesla and SPY), creating potential bias in bearish outlook
  • Interview recorded February 16, 2023 - predictions are time-sensitive
