Michael Burry Returns to Twitter With a Cryptic Warning

Legendary investor Michael Burry, known for predicting the 2008 financial crisis and inspiring the Oscar-winning film The Big Short, has resurfaced on Twitter after years of silence — and his message has the markets’ attention.

“Sometimes we notice a bubble. Sometimes we can act. And sometimes, the only way to win is not to play at all,” wrote Burry in his first post since his prolonged absence.

The “Big Short” Investor Hints at Market Euphoria

Burry’s return comes amid growing concerns over speculative excess in global markets — from artificial intelligence stocks to crypto and high-yield debt. His cryptic remark suggests he sees a potentially dangerous market bubble forming once again.

The investor, who famously shorted subprime mortgages ahead of the 2008 crash, has a history of sounding alarms before major downturns.

A Familiar Warning for a New Era

Burry’s rare reappearance immediately sparked widespread discussion across financial social media. Analysts interpret his statement as a call for caution, implying that sitting on the sidelines might be the wisest move amid current market euphoria.

Whether his new warning will prove as prescient as his 2008 bet remains to be seen — but one thing is certain: when Michael Burry speaks, Wall Street listens.
