This guy shorts stuff and eats shit all the time. It's obviously a bubble and everyone knows it, but while this might be the top, the top might also be 4 years and +60% from here. The market is not going up or down for rational reasons.

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.
If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.
Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.
Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.
Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.
Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

He does, but on average he outperforms market returns three or four times. He ain't gonna get it right every time but he's not just shorting shit willy nilly
The market can stay irrational longer, than you can stay solvent.
indeed
Now if I recall the movie correctly, everyone lost a bunch of money because the bubble didn't pop for like a year after they predicted. So let's see.
He ended up losing a lot of money on the bet for a while yeah, but it paid off in the end IIRC
From listening to interviews and watching a few videos because the movie piqued my interest, I’m pretty sure Burry actually had it predicted within a few months because he factored in that a lot of the garbage loans had locked in low interest rates for x number of years, and he figured once they went variable everyone would start defaulting.
I guess he held short positions well before his actual predicted time for the crash as a hedge in case his prediction was wrong?
Damn, archive doesn't work on this WSJ article
yeah I tried it too with no luck
I feel like anyone who knows how Nvidia is involved with the AI bubble knows that the time to short it is coming.
Turns out all you need to do to short a company is look at the PE ratio (well, for palantir at least)
