Einhorn told CNBC on " Halftime Report " on Wednesday that the firm is still betting against some of those stocks. The fund manager said Greenlight is still betting against that basket of stocks, though at a smaller weight. "I think most people in the market right now cannot do valuation, they choose not to do valuation, or structurally they're valuation agnostic," Einhorn said.

Greenlight Capital's David Einhorn said the Fed wants to knock stocks lower and will keep hiking rates. He sees today's inflationary era as potentially caused by government spending and interest rates that have not gone high enough. "The Fed does want stock prices lower. "I think it would be better if they cared less about the stock market in either direction." While a higher-for-longer interest regime has become the general expectation on Wall Street, Einhorn thinks estimates for how far the Fed will hike rates are still too low.

☆ David Einhorn says he's bearish because the Fed's 'official policy is to make the stock market go down'

Greenlight Capital's David Einhorn, who is crushing the market with double-digit returns this year, is selling stocks as the Federal Reserve continues to deflate the market with aggressive rate hikes. However, higher interest rates also discourage investments and in turn crunch supply, which is most evident in the housing market. "The most glaring area might be in housing, where higher rates lead to reduced supply despite widespread shortage," Einhorn said. That compares with a 23.9% decline for the S & P 500 during the same period as the benchmark tumbled into a bear market. Further, high short-term interest rates provide competition for gold," Einhorn said.
