On August 27, Michael Burry, the archetype of the 'Big Short,' disclosed his latest holdings, revealing that he has bought long positions in Nvidia (NVDA) as a hedge while also increasing his short position in Nvidia. Additionally, he has raised short positions in Oracle (ORCL), Palantir (PLTR), Nebius (NBIS), and Caterpillar (CAT). On the long side, Burry increased his stake in Birkenstock (BIRK) at around $30 and in Freddie Mac (FMCC) at around $5. Burry stated that his short positions now account for over 21% of his portfolio, not including put options. He mentioned that the size of the put options position is difficult to quantify simply, as the relevant options are usually deep out of the money and have a long time until expiration, representing an asymmetric, high-leverage directional strategy, but currently have low market value.
