Burry’s short positions on PLTR and NVDA (via puts) were taken sometime last quarter based on his latest 13F as of September 30, 2025. Depending on when he entered, those trades are almost certainly deep underwater today. Both stocks are up roughly 10 to 15 percent since the end of Q3, and theta decay isn’t doing him any favors.
He has made many short calls in the past. Some were legendary, but plenty didn’t work out. You be the judge.
A lot of people like to compare the current AI boom to the dot-com bubble. I keep saying they’re not the same.
Back in 2000, when the dot-com crash happened, very few people were actually buying things online. The market was full of brand-new companies with no revenue and no real business model. Investors were throwing money at anything with “.com” in the name.
Fast-forward to today. Ask ten people around you how many use AI daily. Chances are most of them do. Not only individuals, but companies across industries are using AI. Even Tiger Brokers. And almost every major app on your phone now has some form of AI baked in. This isn’t just branding. AI requires real compute -real infrastructure.
If you listened to recent earnings calls from Amazon, Microsoft, and Google, you’d hear the same thing: cloud demand is strong and capacity is tight. Even Meta, after massive AI spending, still says it needs more. And right now, their AI investment is mainly for internal use. If they ever hit excess capacity, they could launch a cloud business tomorrow.
Will we see pullbacks? Sure. Fear, profit-taking, and macro noise always show up. But as a whole, AI still feels like early innings.
That said, don’t just take my word for it. Always double-check and think for yourself. Haha.
