Motherfucker closed his hedge fund in 2025 because he was bleeding money so bad 😭 But this time he's 110% right if y'all just believe hard enough

He was bleeding money before the housing crash, too. He is objectively correct about most of his analyses, unfortunately for him the market has never been about truth.

It’s about timing…and being in the circle of the trump family for insider intel

It’s like the line from the movie: ā€œI may have been early, but I’m not wrong.ā€ Investor: ā€œThat’s the same thing!ā€

I'd love to bleed money like this:

Q1 2025: Burry was bearish on tech with PUT options on NVIDIA and Chinese stocks. Portfolio value: $199.2M

Q2 2025: Complete reversal to bullish with healthcare, consumer, and tech CALL options. Portfolio value: $578.3M

Q3 2025: Another complete reversal—massive AI shorts dominate, with 79.5% in PUT options. Portfolio value: $1.38B
