    Michael Burry has liquidated his entire portfolio except for one stock. Perhaps he's since liquidated that too.
    You do realise that Burry's portfolio was all shorts?

    I didn't realise that. Are you sure?

    So he had stocks then?  His portfolio wasn't "all shorts"?

    Yeah he held stocks, which have now mostly been sold. We have no real idea what shorts he holds. I assume he has taken more out recently

    Type45, I know you had a bit of a blind spot around the concept of shorting, as in you didn’t have a scooby. 
    Have you since done some reading up on the subject?

    Just checking.  :#

    Had stocks. Sold them by end of Q2 just in time for markets to accelerate.
    Sounds like Type45’s sort of guy.

    The nature of bear market rallies is that they suck in money from the sidelines.

    We don't need to know what Michael Burry is doing. It's not as though his predictions come true like clockwork. It would be far more interesting to get an update on the Type_45 portfolio.


    Keeping it quiet as I don't want to spook the markets.
    More like you don’t want to admit to everyone of the recent equity rally that you have missed out on whilst sitting with your big pile of cash 

    I see us as allies. I will buy your bags when you want out.

    If it does tank, you'll never buy back in
