Among those weighing in on the S&P 500's first closing high in 42 sessions was Michael Burry, the investor famed for predicting the housing market crash and portrayed in "The Big Short."
"I continue to believe it is possible we are near a major top, and possible a 1987-type fall, but the S&P 500 making new highs will likely bring new money into the market," Burry said early Wednesday on X, in an excerpt from his Substack post.

There are six reasons the U.S. stock market could reach new highs in August, according to Fundstrat.
Equities have broadly flatlined over the past two months, with the S&P 500 SPX down 1% and the Nasdaq COMP down by about 2% since the beginning of June. But "as long as we have a healthy economy, consolidations are healthy," said Tom Lee, head of research at the market-strategy firm, adding that he believes stocks are poised to respond to positive catalysts.

Sandisk Corporation (SNDK) spent most of the past year rewarding investors who backed the artificial intelligence (AI) trade. Relentless optimism over booming memory demand kept the stock climbing until the rally suddenly lost its footing. On Monday, July 27, shares tumbled 11%, making Sandisk the worst-performing stock on the S&P 500 Index ($SPX).
The sell-off spilled over into the semiconductor sector, leaving other chip stocks under pressure too. Traders returned the next day with little appetite for bargains, driving another 14.25% intraday decline. The retreat revived a familiar debate among retail investors over whether Sandisk could hold above the psychological $1,000 mark.

There's no mystery why Dr. Michael Burry is so bearish on the semi trade. It's overheated, and if you think AI is in a bubble, it just makes sense to bet against the broad basket. With an individual bearish position in Applied Materials (NASDAQ:AMAT), though, questions linger as to whether there's more pain to be had in the individual name targeted by the great Michael Burry.

The bid, first reported by Reuters and the Financial Times, both citing unnamed sources, represents a 28% premium to Tuesday's close.
The move puts PayPal stock at its highest level in months and unwinds much of a bruising stretch. Shares had fallen 35% over the past 12 months heading into the report and were still down 18% year to date (YTD) as of Tuesday's close.

SpaceX's stock-market debut temporarily minted CEO Elon Musk as the world's first trillionaire, but not everyone is convinced of the company's valuation. Among the skeptics is famed investor Michael Burry, who recently revealed that he is choosing neither to buy in nor to wager against ***** eX, despite his skepticism.
In a post on Substack (1), the investor, best known for predicting the U.S. housing collapse before the financial crisis, said he examined several options trades betting against the rocket-and-AI company, but has decided to pass.

Michael Burry — the man who famously predicted and bet on the 2008 housing market crash — recently expressed his opinion on the ****** eX (SPCX) initial public offering (IPO). Rather unsurprisingly, Burry isn't impressed by ****** eX's high valuation, saying that the market has become too caught up in artificial intelligence (AI) and related industries.
Even though he is unimpressed by the high valuation, Burry also refuses to short SPCX stock, saying that none of the put options looked attractive considering the risk he would have to take. Without a doubt, one component of this risk is Elon Musk, who made short sellers pay dearly when raising Tesla (TSLA) to become an electric vehicle (EV) giant. Burry called ****** eX a number of things — including a "bedeviled social media company," referring to the company's ownership of X (formerly Twitter) — and is appalled that a company generating less than $20 billion in revenue is worth more than a company like Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A).

While the 2008 financial crisis is but a distant memory, the lessons learned from that era continue to be felt in the stock market. Michael Burry, who at the time was running the Scion Capital hedge fund, identified that the housing market was under duress because of an unsustainable bubble of risky subprime loans. Burry and his ***** ociates famously bet that the house of cards would fall. The trade was depicted in a book and movie of the same ***** le, The Big Short.
Burry has since closed his hedge fund and today operates a Substack, Cassandra Unchained, in which he talks about the markets. His Substack is closely watched by investors because of his often contrarian takes on the market. One of Burry's most recent posts highlights Adobe (ADBE), which he says has been unfairly punished as investors ignore cash-generating companies in favor of flashy AI stocks that carry sky-high valuations.

SpaceX already nailed its first test stock market test.
The tough question is whether investors can detach the stock from the company.
Elon Musk's rocket, satellite, and artificial intelligence company has become one of the most controversial new listings on the market after a record-breaking initial public offering and rapid ascent. The company's story is huge. Its valuation may be even bigger.
That's why Michael Burry's warning of late has such weight. Not only is ******* eX (SPCX) overpriced, he says, but the bearish trade may also be as dangerous as the bullish transaction.
"I am not involved with ******* eX now. Neither short nor, ahem, long," Burry wrote, according to Fortune.

Among them is Applied Digital (APLD), which has grown from a relatively small data center operator to one of the market's most carefully watched AI infrastructure providers. Recently, it landed a 15-year lease worth about $5.2 billion with a U.S.-based investment-grade hyperscaler, validating its business model. In a highly competitive semiconductor industry, winning your client's trust with long-term contracts is a competitive advantage.
APLD stock has surged a massive 88% year-to-date (YTD), outperforming most tech heavyweights and the overall market. Let's find out if Applied Digital's stock is a good buy now.

Michael Burry Skips ****** eX Short Bet Over Expensive Options Pricing

Investor Michael Burry—of Big Short fame—considered antagonizing the richest man on the planet over the IPO of his latest company.

Burry said he had been tempted to bet against ***** eX, the rocket company owned by Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

SpaceX went public last week, and its stock has already gained more than 25%. The company's valuation since then has soared close to $3 trillion, even overtaking Jeff Bezos's Amazon at one point.
But for every optimist backing Musk's bid to establish a human colony on Mars is an investor on earth wondering if the plan will ever take off. Burry, in typical form, was open in asking that question.
In a Substack post, the ***** yst best known for predicting the housing crash before the 2008 financial crisis said he had reviewed a number of trading options for betting against Musk's company.
"I am not involved with ***** eX now. Neither short nor, ahem, long," Burry wrote Tuesday, per CNBC. Put options on the shorter end—expiring in June 2027, for example—cost roughly $13 with the stock trading at around $212, Burry reported. A put ending December 2026 was priced at around $6.75, he added.
Burry was "tempted by that one. But no thank you," he wrote of the short option.

Famed investor Michael Burry recently said the stock market’s heavy dependence on artificial intelligence today feels like “the last months of the 1999-2000 bubble.”
And he’s not alone. In early May, Paul Tudor Jones — an American billionaire hedge fund manager — told CNBC that he, too, had noticed today’s AI-fueled market looks quite similar to the dot-com bubble.

We just covered From Fired Researcher to $13.7 Billion King: How Leopold Aschenbrenner Broke the Hedge Fund World and NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) ranks 2nd on this list.
NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) is a new addition to the 13F portfolio of Situational Awareness LP. The fund declared a new stake in the company in filings for the first quarter of 2026. This stake consists of PUT bets worth close to 9 million shares. Previously, Leopold Aschenbrenner had bought a stake in this chip giant in the third quarter of 2025. This position consisted of PUT bets worth 1.6 million shares and was sold off completely by the next quarter. Back then, this bearish bet represented over 7% of the 13F portfolio of the fund. The latest one is the second-largest position and represents over 11% of the portfolio. Leopold Aschenbrenner is not the only hedge fund manager betting against the chip giant.
Prominent names like Michael Burry, Ken Griffin, Israel Englander, and Sander Gerber also hold PUT options on NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA), per latest filings. There is concern among some in the hedge fund universe that as AI shifts from training models to running autonomous agents, the required hardware changes. Complex sequential logic execution favors high-performance CPUs. While NVIDIA commands an estimated 90% to 95% market share in AI training GPUs, it has virtually no market share in the traditional x86 enterprise data center CPU market, which is dominated by AMD and Intel. Bearish investors are betting that NVIDIA GPU demand will face a structural ceiling as compute requirements diversify.
While we acknowledge the potential of NVDA as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk. If you're looking for an extremely undervalued AI stock that also stands to benefit significantly from Trump-era tariffs and the onshoring trend, see our free report on the best short-term AI stock.

With crypto down across major ******* ets and liquidations climbing, we are questioning why Bitcoin is falling even while traditional markets are up.
What deepens the discussion is how often Michael Burry skepticism on Bitcoin comes during these volatility spikes, especially when crypto is down without any direct negative catalyst. As the crypto market absorbs the latest wave of liquidations, the vibe has shifted from surprise to concern.

Burry, who rose to fame shorting the housing market during the 2008 financial crisis, dubbed the EV maker as "ridiculously overvalued" in a Substack post on Sunday. Business Insider was first to report on Burry's latest missive.
His post took aim at the "tragic algebra" of stock-based compensation, and Tesla was an example. Tesla dilutes its stock by 3.6% a year, he said, and offers no buybacks.
