⚡️💬 NEW - 'The Big Short' Bet Against Palantir & NVIDIA

Michael Burry's Scion Asset Management's latest 13F disclosure shows an extreme bearish concentration. The hedge fund has concentrated 80% of its $1.38B portfolio into put options on Palantir and Nvidia.

Portfolio Breakdown:

Total notional value: $1.38 billion (↑139% from Q2's $578M)

PLTR Puts:

• $912 million (66% of portfolio)

• 5 million put contracts

NVDA Puts:

• $187 million (13.5% of portfolio)

• 1 million put contracts

Combined: $1.1B (~80%) betting both stocks fall.

Both companies are positioned to benefit from current administration priorities. Yet Burry's thesis appears to be: valuations are so extreme that even favorable policies can't justify current prices.

⚡️ MORE - Burry made numerous false predictions afterwards and apparently lost quite a bit... even if he was right in 2008, that doesn't prove anything for 2025.

In 2021, he also sounded the alarm about a major speculative bubble in meme stocks and cryptocurrencies.

In 2023, he posted a tweet (image 2) saying "Sell" before the S&P 500 rose significantly.

Nevertheless, you can see (image 3) that his fund's performance has been on par with the US index since that tweet.

Finally, we have just learned that he has taken a short position via options on Nvidia and Palantir (image 4).

Burry is not bad at spotting bubble effects, subprime mortgages, cryptocurrencies, meme stocks, and now he's talking about AI.

When I see cryptocurrencies falling, the Nasdaq plateauing, and US unemployment turning around, it doesn't make me feel comfortable with the current situation 🤷‍♂️

imagine michael burry is a super smart money wizard from the movie the big short who once bet against bad houses and won big. he runs a giant piggy bank with $1.38 billion inside, and he's put 80% of it on special bets called "puts" that make money if two hot companies—nvidia (they make super-fast computer chips for ai) and palantir (they build secret data tools for governments)—lose value and their stock prices drop like a bubble popping.

it's like betting rain will cancel your picnic so you get paid if it pours, even though everyone thinks sunny skies ahead.
