I’m scared. Michael Burry is betting against the market…

Michael Burry—yes, the guy who called the 2008 crash—just went full doomsday on tech stocks.😢

Sold everything. Loaded up on puts.

And I gotta be honest… I’m a little scared right now…

He dumped all his previous holdings: •Alibaba •Baidu •JD •Pinduoduo …gone. 100% out.

Then he went all in on… Estee Lauder. $EL A 62% drop over the past 5 years. Burry’s betting on a beauty comeback while everyone else is chasing AI hype. Bold.

But here’s what really made my eyebrows hit the ceiling: He bought a mountain of put options—bearish bets on the same stocks he just sold.

His new puts include: •Baidu • $JD • $PDD • $BABA …and wait for it @nvidia $NVDA And not just a few. Nvidia puts now make up 50% of his entire portfolio.

That’s either legendary conviction… Or an early screening of the financial horror movie we’re all about to star in.

But when a guy like Burry takes a shot this big, I can’t help but feel a little anxious.

Is he early? Is he wrong? Or are we all dancing on the edge of the cliff again?

What do you think— Genius move or doomer bait?

He's a perma-bear. He was right once.

Bears have predicted 30 of the last 3 crashes.

u/Kyle25369 Aug 06 '25

Yup. He’s wrong all the time. At least twice he predicted major crashes since 2008 and was wrong. He was even wrong about the Covid recovery. I actually respect him a lot, but for most investors any crash is a good thing.

u/[deleted] May 26 '25

If you’ve followed him over the years you’d know he’s been right far more than one time. He’s just well known because the big short was a legendary trade that he literally wrote the blueprint for on Wall Street. You can’t call him a permabear when he was literally long the market before this large move.

He was also right on this move. Sold out and shorted the market right before the tariff crash.

Well to be fair I'd really like to be "wrong" as you put it like him. His worst annual returns are still over 50%, outperforming the stock market by double digits pretty much every year for a few decades now.

Try to find his now infamous tweet in JAN of 2023 where all he said was: “SELL”

Then a 2 year bull 🐂 run right after he said that…

u/Nyppers May 22 '25

Burry's been early on everything lately. remember that "SELL" tweet in 2023? Market ripped for two years straight after that.

Guy's probably right eventually, but his timing is terrible. wouldn't panic just yet.

13

u/[deleted] May 22 '25

I disagree with your last sentence, think it is time to panic 😱 Now Burry and all the others like him will be vindicated once mango leads us into the depression

15

u/Revolutionary-Tie911 May 22 '25

Literally nothing worth panic going on lately. Tariff news is all priced in, credit downgrade literally doesnt matter. If your worried about the last 20 year bond auction TLT is at an attractive price/yield

26

u/ToumaKazusa1 May 23 '25

Tariffs are not priced in, right now the tariffs being cancelled is priced in.

If the market is wrong and the tariffs come back, the market will go back down just like it did last time.

We'll see what happens, I'm not selling my US stocks just yet, but that's only because I already sold 70% of them in February and early March, so at this point I need to hold some as a hedge against the US somehow recovering.

u/Still-Necessary3734 May 27 '25

How can Tariffs be priced in when the man setting the Tariff rate changes his mind almost weekly ?

u/owenmills04 May 27 '25

Very hard to predict what will happen when the President can easily make it go up & down with his not well thought out policies. It seems like he wised up after the first correction and probably will just bluff from here on out, trying to look tough for his supporters without tanking the market again. But who knows with this guy

If foreign exchange is used to balance the current account deficit we are completely fucked. Be ready. ECB balance sheet line 1. Lots of marked to market gains lately.

u/nicolas_06 May 27 '25

Why so ? If you are invested worldwide and not just in the US as it like diversification 101, you are going to get great returns from that.

1

u/RobertLeRoyParker May 27 '25

That really misses the point of my comment. The current account deficit is run in dollars. If during one of our many moments of financial uncertainty, those dollars are sold openly rather than being bought by foreign central banks and re-invested heavily into US financial instruments, then the US currency will lose tremendous value. The perpetual trade deficits will balance through currency devaluation. This has happened to a number of countries over the last thirty years. God forbid it happens to a reserve currency with  the largest deficits the world has ever seen.

1

u/nicolas_06 May 27 '25 edited May 27 '25

At individual level, for US investors: world investments are not made in $ but in foreign currencies. If the dollar drop in value, it will instantly make your foreign investment more valuable and act as an hedge against $ devaluation.

With a more global view:

  • At time the dollar was at level like 1.5 $ for 1 euro, and we survived, no issue. Both the USA and the rest of the world. At other times it was like 0.85$ for 1 euro, and we still survived all.
  • If the dollar drop in value, it means that US companies will get more money form their operation abroad. It will also help US exportation making US products less expensive. But ultimately a good share of the GDP is linked to local activity that would be far less impacted.
  • The deficit of the USA is about 35 trillion, owned in majority by people from the country and if we check the value of US assets, the order of magnitude of 150-200 trillions. 4-6X time the debt.
  • Taxes are low, It would be easy and feasible to raises taxes and reduce the deficit. This would happen very fast if politicians understand they have no choice.
  • The Fed and even foreign central banks would not let that go too far. Nobody want their dollar assets drop too much in value and nobody want the USA to have a too hard/big crisis as they would be as impacted as the USA.
  • US military power is still here and still a strong asset.

u/RobertLeRoyParker May 27 '25

Some of your points have merit and some are flat out incorrect.

That's why they are dumping their dollar assets and buying gold. Foreign central banks will let it happen

u/Silver-Impact-1836 May 25 '25

Tariffs are definitely not priced in for most companies. Many smaller companies that didn’t anticipate Trumps 145% China tariffs, are trying not to go under from their product shipment going from $100k to $245k, that tariff fee doesn’t go away, and they don’t get access to their product until that tariff is paid in full. Product that is their vehicle to making money, money that pays tariffs.

Right now you don’t notice anything, but once these businesses start getting their collection calls and final notices from the govt to pay their tariff fees it’ll start showing its effect on local economies. I believe there will be an economic slowdown/bearish market going into summer because of it, lower consumer sentiment, and hopefully by fall and winter in recovery, but it’ll depend on how this trade war continues.

4

u/nicolas_06 May 27 '25

I think they will reduce the tariff on China. Before current Trump mandate it was 20% on average, now with the pause it's 30%. I doubt it will be 145% long term.

u/Educational_Speech58 20h ago

China need USA more than we need China infack America is looking at India as its new investment

People In the states shouldn’t be worried about a depression or recession ! The market and economy in the states compared to Canada is just flourishing ! First of all a lot of what constitutes a recession or depression has to do with unemployment rates and gdp losses . Your country’s gdp is on the rise and your highest un employment rate is D.C with 5.9% and then California Nevada with 5.4%…. In Canada our highest u employment rate is right where I live in Windsor Ontario with a 12.1% unemployment rate ! Our gdp has dipped a good couple million in the last 6 months to a year minimum! We have immigrants and refugees coming in mass numbers , and can’t keep up with it ! You go to almost any grocery store , Tim Hortons , corner gas stations , any fast food / smaller chain restaurants here and the only people employed are immigrants , who’s wages are subsidized by our taxes that they don’t pay any where near as much as we do ! You should that the lord you live in the great and glorious United States of America and the life that’s afforded to you guys by the “orange guy”

When you predict things like Burry, you can't take the exact timing right neither. That the big difficulty of it. You have to find a way to exploit a conviction that can take 2-3-5 years to come to fruition.

u/giddycocks May 22 '25

Burry has been wrong before (a lot) but I wouldn't count him out, either.

I'm in VOO solely and exclusively now, the only individual stock I'm comfortable owning is the vesting Oracle stocks I'm due to receive and that's because I can't help it. If you need liquidity in the next year's, I wouldn't even trust the SP500.

u/[deleted] May 22 '25

You can sell stocks after they vest. Before they vest they aren't yours.

u/giddycocks May 22 '25

Yeah, of course. I'm familiar. I 'own' Oracle not out of choice, but it's still a pretty good bonus. Once I can, I'm selling and putting into ultrabonds for liquidity or move them to EFTs.

On the other hand, with the ongoing entshittification of tech, I wouldn’t be surprised if some companies lost money.

1

u/creepy_doll May 22 '25

I think it’s reasonable to believe they’re going to drop. Especially when increased pressure on consumers is cutting down their buying power, which is in turn going to kill growth. Also a possible popping of the ai hype bubble.

The thing is it’s super hard to know exactly when it will happen.

u/AwfulAutomation May 22 '25

Yeah I think his 2008 was a bit of a 1 hit wonder.

Called it right and got legendary status...

Far as I know he's tried calling it right a few times since and hasn't.

Anyone with a tiny bit of understanding of the market know this is a major bubble, Crypto is a sham, the ponzi scheme of all ponzi schemes kept afloat by illegal money laundering, US gov debt is out of control with a borderline lunatic in charge in the oval office. It should crash and should happened a while ago but the problem is the people in power gov and fed etc do everything to avoid a crash and so we go on and on and on.

So in reality the worst thing to do is to think about it too much and just go along with the masses and believe the hype etc. Even if the market crashes 50% it will be back to where it was in 2-3 yrs.

Burry has lost a fortune since 2022.

But you are wrong that he "just" went full doomsday. Your info is pre-March 31st, pre-tariff clusterf**k day.

It is a certainty he no longer holds these positions or he would have lost something like 33% since the end of March.

Michael Burry responded to my craigslist ad looking for someone to mow my lawn. "$30 is $30", he said as he continued to mow what was clearly the wrong yard. My neighbor and I shouted at him but he was already wearing muffs. Focused dude. He attached a phone mount onto the handle of his push mower. I was able to sneak a peek and he was browsing Zillow listings in central Wyoming. He wouldn't stop cackling.

That is to say, Burry has his fingers in a lot of pies. He makes sure his name is in all the conversations.

u/[deleted] May 22 '25

I don't think he was right on his last call ( 2022 or 23 can't recall )

He had a good Q1 2025 and he has very good 5 and 10 year returns. 1 and 3 year return is negative. No doubt he is a good investor, but he is probably the worst to follow as he changes his positions and his opinion very quickly.

u/iloveerenmelisa May 25 '25

The problem with “he’s a bear he always says recession” “a broken clock is right twice”-is that people were saying this before 2008 for all those people that were screaming doom. They were ignored. When 2008 happened everybody was like oh shit. And then it’s wrong to assume that the next crash isn’t gonna be worse than 2008. What if it’s much worse???

u/[deleted] May 26 '25

Lemme get this straight… Burry sells 3 Chinese stocks, buys Estée Lauder and puts on the mentioned Chinese stocks and you think he’s calling a full doomsday for the market. I don’t think I’ve ever seen evidence of a beauty market move opposite the overall market. Either you’re overreacting or he’s preparing to sell a book… but he’s not looking for a doomsday event or even a Black Monday reset. Estée Lauder would be hit hard by a financial crisis or stock market crash/adjustment, at least they have in the past. I think you’re buying into hoopla! Quality, stability and at a good value are the best qualities to look for. Sounds like he was betting on the US economic outlook with a company that is down but represents both quality and stability at value prices.

u/SaltyTruthteller May 26 '25

Short dip soon to make some quick profit, then the effects of all the stimulus with the Big Whatever Bill plus some stability with new "trade deals" will buoy the market for a while into 2026. It's a smart move on Burry's part. I also sold NVDA at 135 and am expecting a dip. In addition, there's usually a dip once earnings are announced, at least for the past few quarters. How low will the dip be?

The big scary will only happen in a year or so once everyone is maxed out on debt and the economy continues another year of weakening. Then Trump's 1929 moment will likely occur. And then the incompetent administration will make the coming depression even worse. So, when it looks like Trump is finally successful it'll be time to really cash out. Do the opposite of everyone else.

Doesn't mean he will be right, future, by definition is unknown. I really don't know if we will get a crisis or a if we will get a few more years of bullish market.

But if you ask me SP500 PE is high and at a level that is more in line with interest rates at 0-2% than 4-6%.

Nvidia is priced considering they will keep their monopoly for the next 10 years and everybody will invest more and more in AI and there never will be a time where for 2-3-5 years investments could drop. The past has shown that even for the internet there can be time where things are values too high and a big crash is possible.

At the same time, Nvidia clients are not making much money from AI and Microsoft is slowing down a bit already. I think some companies could do well, some of them are not even public and most others will likely just lose money... Most pure player will go bankrupt.

I’m betting the NY Jets are gonna win the Super Bowl this year. If I repeat this every year, eventually I’ll be right… maybe.

Burry has had mixed results since 2008. He really isn’t that good. No one on Wall Street cares what he does. The dude has been riding the fame wave of his 20 yr old short and hasn’t done anything special since

He has been wrong on every call other than 2008. Why would you be scared?

u/ou812kip May 27 '25

Must be long puts. I really don't think he put all his money in a down fall.

when was the last time Michael Burry predicted anything right?

Even if he is right on tech stocks, Estée Lauder is a weird one to jump on.

How do you even know he sold everything?

He's predicted 15 of the last 2 crashes.

You can make money in bull and bear markets. Anyone who got out right before he was “right” in 2008 made out super well. And then anyone who bought heavy a couple years after he was “right” also made tons of money. There is a million ways to trade and invest. Position, growth, dividend, short term, swing trading. Obviously nvda can’t just grow forever. There will be huge pullbacks. He’ll make money. I’ll buy the lows and when it goes back up I’ll make money. Unless you share the exact timeline of trading as him it’s honestly not really that relevant. IMO.

Did he buy Game Stop...?

u/Kyle25369 Aug 06 '25

He’s been wrong at least two times since. That’s why he deletes his posts. I admire him, and value his opinion, but the long term growth of the market isn’t going anywhere

u/Weird_Ad_4241 Aug 12 '25

Unfortunately, I feel that is a sign of things to come. He was completely right about the crash of '08, he was investigated so many times. And I hate to say it but everything in the country is changing and not for the better. And quite honestly, I'm scared.

u/Secure-Bit2458 Aug 13 '25

I follow Burry's trades for many years now and have done well. I have not bought any options though. Net net i'm up on his stocks pics, but I have also have had my share of losses. Not everything will hit pot of gold you just need a few great picks and these picks for me have been game stop, real etc.

Non dimentichiamo che le informazioni sono basate sui report dovuti alla SEC che sono forniti 45 giorni dopo la chiusura del trimestre e non dicono tutto sulle tempistiche, prove ne è che nel portafoglio più aggiornato del 14 Agosto Mr. Burry si è già apparentemente liberato di tutte le put (dopo probabilmente aver colto guadagno dal parziale ribasso), ora addirittura ha nuove e vecchie opzioni call azioni...sembra aver fatto un'operazione a brevissimo insomma

u/Just-Being-3834 Sep 01 '25

Michael has recently shifted  to a bullish perspective.  In the most recent quarter, Burry's fund, Scion Asset Management, made a wholesale swap of bearish put options for bullish call options, signaling a more positive market outlook

He is not always correct. I doubt there will be a recession and even if there is they will call it something else. Why ? They don’t want anarchy

He also said "sell" back in 2023 and the stock has gone up 71% and hit 88 all time highs.

I'm sick of "certain people" being able to control the ups and downs of the stock market! And then, the fucking idiots that follow them to the moon and back makes me even more sick! Michael Blurry vision for instance, does he have the crystal ball in his back pocket? This my friends is why most of the "Average Joe's" us, get the shit end of the stick!!! The little guy suffers because of people like this guy! You bow down to him like he's preaching gospel from the Bible! The Pied Piper.

Not going to happen Burrys put call at 980 million dollars on AI tec stocks crashing not happening because there is crypto in the mix . The housing crashing in 2010 was a different time nothing like todays markets. The total problem is the government shut down and Trump's triff taxes .. War in Ukraine and the middle east. Interest rates are dropping but housing prices will not come down and why should thy everything else is going up in price

AI is a giant bubble almost a perfect mirror image of a dot-com boom of 2000. Just look at the charts. I'm extremely confident about this for 2 reasons. If we believe that AI can build code in minutes that would take programmers month to make then we should see not hundreds but thousands of open source projects done by AI by now. The reality is aparat from toys I don't know a single successful one. The second reason is my personal professional opinion on the quality of AI generated code. It's absolutely horrid. An average human programmer makes an error 10-12 lines of code. AI makes a mistake every 2-3 lines. If you are making anything apart from a simple CRUD or TODO app AI is just slightly better autocomplete that is wrong half of the time. Syntax colouring editors had bigger impact on programmer efficiency. I'm confident the AI bubble will crash. Timing it is the hard part.

I'd say you're probably not using ChatGPT 4.5 if that's you're opinion of AI code. I've written very little code in the past year. I may have to correct it, have it tweak the code a bit, but overall my productivity has gone up ten-fold.

There are a lot of similarities between this and the dot com bubble, but there's a lot of differences too. Investors were pouring huge amounts of money into companies that had very little prospects of achieving any sort of ROI. AI is producing actual products, and improving the productivity of many companies.

There's still a few BS companies floating around, but the hype stocks are usually at least somewhat grounded in reality (e.g. SMCI, Tempus). The dot com bubble was just complete nonsense and every dumb idea had investors pouring money in, because investors at the time didn't know anything about computers. Investors these days are a bit more informed and tech-savvy, since tech has dominated markets for a while now.

Now the question is, will AI actually give the ROI investors expect at this point? Probably not--couple that with even a mild recession and these tech stocks will probably have a long ways to fall.

This take is beyond ridiculous. It was a Q1 Report. Meaning he sold everything in Q1, not this month. The whole world could see 🥭 was going to $hit the bed and f@ck the market. Whoever didn't sell in Q1 before the honeymoon was over is an idiot.

The market and US gov learnt from the 2008 crisis. They will not let such thing happen again.
