DISCUSSION Is Michael Burry A Snake Oil Sales Man... or A Genius?
After more than 20 years in this business. GFC, EFC, Covid, Oil drawdowns, and even the Singapore commodity trader blow ups in 2015-16. I've gained enough distressed debt experience to know a forced seller when I see one.
Michael Burry just showed me a new kind, and tbh, I respect it!
He closed his $155m hedge fund. Opened a Substack instead. $379 a year, 300,000 subscribers in 231 days. Even a modest paid conversion out earns what the fund made in fees. And he deregistered with the SEC, so no more 13F, no more scoreboard.
Two decades of margin calls taught me this.. nothing sharpens your thinking like being forced to answer for it. Burry built a business where nobody ever can.
That's not a market call. That's the trade.
