Michael Burry

Michael Burry is known for his analytical approach and ability to identify undervalued assets. His strategy includes contrarian investing—buying assets that other investors avoid—deep fundamental analysis, and a focus on the long term. This approach allowed him to successfully predict and profit from the 2008 mortgage crisis. Michael Burry was one of the first investors to recognize the looming collapse of the U.S. housing market—as early as 2005—and bet billions of dollars on it while others mocked him. At the end of 2025, Burry announced the deregistration of Scion Asset Management, but said he remains active in financial markets and has launched a blog on the Substack platform.
