Michael Burry Nothing Burger Stock Market CRASH Warnings
Stock-Markets / Stock Market Crash Oct 17, 2023 - 10:25 PM GMTApparently Michel 'Nothing Berger' Burry has put BIG SHORT position on the stock market to the tune of $1.6 billion, as reports the fear mongering MSM.
Of course it's nonsense, in fact Michael nothing Burger may not even be net short! All he has done is to buy out of the money PUT options on the SPY and QQQ with a notional value of $1.6 billion for which in reality he may only committed less than $10 million! Which in reality could be part of a larger LONG position i.e. the Puts are a hedge against his long positions, I do the similar, buy S&P puts especially if I think a correction is likely, with the understanding that they may expire worthless if said correction fails to materialise, where the only way to reduce ones risk is to go for in the money and longer dates options, i.e at least 3 months to expiry and preferably 6 months so as to give the position room to breath. Anyway Burry is NOT SHORT $1.6 billion, in fact he is not short at all! Buying puts is NOT going SHORT! To short you have to SELL a stock or ETF SHORT!
His actual risk is less than $10 million which just acts as a reminder not to pay any attention to MSM else it will cost you money! Journalists are just that journalists, often they do not know about that which they write especially where the markets are concerned where the name of the game is FEAR SELLS!
