his fund, Scion Asset Management, bought $187.6 million in puts on Nvidia and $912 million in puts on Palantir (...) Palantir’s market cap is also up over 150 percent year-to-date. Its current valuation is upwards of 200 times its forward earnings, spreading fears that it may be grossly overvalued.
He knows which one is more likely to get really fucked in this bubble and it's not the shovel seller
Burry similarly made a long-term $1 billion bet from 2005 onwards against the US mortgage market, anticipating its collapse.
Can we assume his puts aren't for 2026, but at least 2028 or later?
As CNN points out, Burry’s track record isn’t perfect. For instance, he called in January 2023 to “sell” in a now infamous tweet
Something something irrational solvent something
Palantir CEO Alex Karp: "The two companies he’s shorting are the ones making all the money,"
One of the companies is making all the money and it's not Palantir.

I think it's a bubble but I'm also suspicious we're near peak investment and think it could sustain for a while yet. I wonder what sort of range he's projecting for the peak and timeframe
If he needs a straight pin to pop it I can send him a couple
has bet over $1 billion that the share prices of AI chipmaker Nvidia and software company Palantir will fall
not a very tough bet to make tbh.
very misleading title and literally no commenters could even read the first paragraph here lol. Man the AI hate is truly reaching the looms now
This is a long term investment, predicting that the bubble will burst _at some point _. It doesn't signify that he believes the collapse to be imminent. The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent!
