Big Shortâs Burry Does Big Flip-Flop, Puts All Bets on Calls
Michael Burry, best known for 'predicting and profiting' from the 2000s housing crash, decided to swap his bearish put options for bullish calls last quarter. His Scion fund went from cautious to all-in, holding nine call-optioned stocks worth a whopping $522 million, including Meta and Alibaba. From puts on Alibaba and JD.com to calls on 'Estee Lauder, Lululemon, Meta, and UnitedHealth,' Burryâs portfolio now screams commitmentâor mid-life crisis. He even trimmed Estee Lauder shares from 200,000 to 150,000, because why not? Burryâs moves remind us all that 'quarterly portfolio updates...only provide a snapshot with a six-week lag,' meaning he's probably already changed his mind again.

Burryâs portfolio is like a teenagerâs mood swingsâone quarter bearish, next quarter bullish, and just as predictable as your GPS recalculating for the 5th time on route home.
Michael Burry switched from betting on stocks to betting on the bet. Itâs like switching teams mid-game then acting surprised youâre sweaty and confused.
Watching Burry's portfolio flip is like watching a soap opera where you never know if you'll get a clown car or a luxury sedan next.
