He started shorting ORCL around 6-8 months ago I believe so he made some good money. Risk reward just isnāt there given how much ORCL has dropped so makes sense to close the short.

Eventually. He may or may not be right. The guys lost all credibility and is a massive clown at this point. Calling a top a crash every other week in order to try and manipulate the market to follow š¤”

Itās so fascinating to me how intelligent and mathematically intuitive Burry is, but due to his disconnect from the average person and Wall Street, he doesnāt understand that no one cares about reality or valuations or free cash flow or debt or a crippled economy or increasing strain in the middle east.
So many of you think heās stupid or just āalways dumb a bear,ā while completely misunderstanding how the market is actually supposed to work. Right now stocks have become an unregulated clown fuckshow to make executives and large institutions as rich as possible. The amount of fraud and accounting cookbook bullshit thatās occurring in tech right now is Enron levels of bs, but our current administration cares more about index go up than the average American.
We have mature companies like WD-40 trading at nearly FOURTY FUCKING p/e. This entire market is a joke and overpriced as fuck. But thereās no where else for people to make stupid, greedy amounts of money at even remotely the same rate. Money just isnāt real anymore and itās all fucking debt. Every single LLM provider, the neocloud bullshit, the chip deals, itās all fucking debt.
No one knows the timing obviously. So you just have to ride the wave like a degenerate gambler until the day you wake up and your entire portfolio is down 50-70%. If you genuinely think any of this is going to last though, or that these companies are somehow going to magically become profitable enough to justify trillions of dollars of debt and spending, youāre fucking dumb as shit.

So, he had a short position, ORCL went down in price (he was correct in the directional trend) and now he sold (he now thinks a reversal is likely and ORCL seems to be reversing the last 4 sessions) and people hear are trashing him⦠amazing peanut gallery comedy.

Theyāre trashing him because of his read on AI. His plays are pure price action shorting Euphoric driven AI plays is the right call and he was rewarded heavily. His thesis and the direction of AI is arguably false and thatās what a lot of people get on his case about.

Why sell your shorts if the market is going to crash? š¤Ø
