Pinned straw:
I would put people like him on ignore. You need to follow people who share your mindset and time horizon. If you’re strong and in it for the long-term, you can skip right past all the noise in the interim.
Personally, I think he is wrong and he is just demonstrating how we all revert to the mean…I have IRL holdings in NDQ which I have no intention of getting out of for a couple of decades.
It’s hard to keep up. Earlier in the year he was saying sell, then it changed to no I was wrong to say sell to now it’s a sell again. In saying that considering the recent big run up putting a sell (short) on the US markets would not seem like a silly call for a “trader”. Especially as much of it has come from half a dozen+ stocks. Add to that the significant geopolitical risk factors pertaining to overall debt levels. Now watch the US market go on a 20% run. Ha ha ha
Can someone with knowledge of shorting please explain what Burry is doing here. Is he all in on shorting or is he just using the options as a hedge/insurance against other long holdings?
