Michael Burry doubles down on AI bubble short, warns 'leave the market' by mid-2027
SumitGup · x · 2026-11-15
Michael Burry, the investor behind The Big Short, has reportedly put real money behind his AI bubble call, doubling Nasdaq-100 put options expiring early 2027 and adding new VanEck semiconductor index puts on Nov 12. He compares the Nasdaq's October peak to the 2000 dot-com top, calls the current rally a bull trap, and warns of a semiconductor crash by mid-2027. Critics note he shorts early and is often wrong, but the bet lands amid rising CAPEX-peak concerns. Not financial advice.
