'Big Short' Michael Burry's $1bn bet on a market crash pays off

'Big Short' Michael Burry's $1bn bet on a market crash pays off as stocks suffer WORST day since tariff meltdown

The man who predicted the financial crash could soon be proven right again.

On Tuesday, Michael Burry — who became a household name after anticipating the 2008 economic meltdown and inspiring the film The Big Short — had wagered more than $1 billion that Wall Street's AI boom will end in tears.

Now the cracks are showing. US tech stocks are on track for their worst week since Donald Trump's 'liberation day' tariffs rattled global markets in April.

Eight of the most valuable AI-driven companies — among them Nvidia, Meta, Palantir and Oracle — have lost a staggering $1.1 trillion in market value since the end of last week.

By midday in New York, the S&P 500 was down 1.2 percent, the Nasdaq 2 percent and the Dow 300 points, or 0.7 percent. The Nasdaq is on track for a 4 percent weekly loss, its sharpest decline since the Trump administration's tariff war years.

Burry specifically bet that the value of stock for Nvidia and Palantir — two of the market’s hottest AI plays — would fall, and those two have been hardest hit.

Shares of Nvidia — the world's most valuable company — tumbled another 4 percent Friday, leaving them down 13 percent for the week. Palantir has plunged 17 percent since Monday,

Filings show Burry's hedge fund, Scion Asset Management, disclosed put options worth about $900 million against Palantir and $187 million against Nvidia. A put option is a financial bet that pays off if a company's share price falls.
CEO Jensen Huang made things worse by admitting that 'China is going to win the AI race.' He later tried to walk back the remark, but investors were already spooked.
Meanwhile, concerns are mounting over OpenAI's finances.

simplified explanation. the price needs to be lower on the contract expiration date so he can execute the put option and sell the shares for a profit. he has made zero dollars so far.

Yeah, I guess when you're the biggest gambler in the field the mm or others won't take back your options early to cash out the current value.

This guy has falsely predicted more crashes than he has correctly predicted. Take it with a grain of salt. Doesn't surprise me the market reacted though, that's all the retail bagholders panicking. Institutional investors probably scooped up at a discount. I'm not saying AI isn't a bubble, but I don't think its collapse is as imminent, nor do I think it'll be as extreme as 2008.

>another Burry thread
Does Michael Burry pay jeets to spam his shit like ecelebs, or is this organic fertilizer? This one hit wonder has been screaming crash for years and has been bleeding out of his ass for a) being wrong and b) leveraging up his bets. Sure, our entire stock market is a scam and eventually will have a 2008 moment. Burry barely survived in 2008 because he a) made enormous bets and b) was nearly irrecoverably wrong timewise. I was neutral on him until I got forced to see his slop everywhere for the past week; now I consider him another Jim Cramer, a pied piper for mitwits.

In 2008, and was nearly wiped out for being a degenerate gambler and ignoring this reality: "The financial markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent."

As I understand it, this includes (the bad) bets that he made since May 2025.

No he doesn't. He has rented out, via PR companies, talk time on CNBC and has you guys making these threads every hour. Anyone who knows what he is doing knows that a) the jews may pop the bubble at pretty much any time b) it is irresponsible to make enormous bets like this that require a major swing and c) thinking that he has outsmarted everyone with some super intricate system that "proves the market will collapse" at a given time.

uh as if no one noticed we are getting the shit kicked out of us by china in the tech sector and importing h1b has been a losing strategy. we do not have the power to run the data centers we need supposedly and those data centers will be used to spy on us while provided AI slop video shorts and erotic AI chatbots. gee, no signs of trouble here. if the market were coherent and not run by kikes the AI bubble would have popped with deepseek release. that was the moment it was clear the US had lost.

You are correct, Mexico fren. That's the guy. Cramer is more useful because at least with him, we can use his picks as an inverse indicator.

>but the chinks
They are playing as the casino of scams, too, and deeply tied to the Israeli state

>importing h1b has been a losing strategy
100% agree. It doesn't matter on the short to medium term, however.

>we do not have the power to run the data centers we need supposedly and those data centers will be used to spy on us while provided AI slop video shorts and erotic AI chatbots
I again, completely agree. It is a bubble for Boomers who don't understand technology, but do jump on jewish trends. Again, doesn't matter as long as they want to keep this going.

>if the market were coherent and not run by kikes
But it is not and it is, respectively

>that was the moment it was clear the US had lost
The US lost in 1941 when we went to war against our distant cousins for world jewry and their usurous domination of the world. The ZOG engine we call the USA is still, despite everything, the strongest player on the block.

All that said, the S&P500 ended UP 8.50 points today. Burry get choke on his Asian-tier degenerate gambling.

Just my opinion: I think Berkshire is ahead of itself on its taking positions in home builders, but maybe they know something thst I don't. Re Buffet: he had a reasonable approable for the past year: park in tbills and just take a minute. Valuations are insane and eventually there -will- be an aggressive correction. But, timing that is virtually impossible. Attempt to time it with big short bets is either insane, gross incompetence/malfeasance, or Tony Soprano season 6 tier degenerate gambler.
