Did Michael Burry — the investor behind The Big Short — actually shut down his fund? And if he did… why now? In this episode, we break down the real story behind Scion Asset Management’s sudden deregistration and why Burry is choosing to step away from public markets at a time when AI stocks are dominating the S&P 500. Burry has warned about inflated earnings, aggressive accounting, and a level of market concentration we haven’t seen in years. But behind the headlines is also the human story — the pressure, the experience from 2005–2008, and why managing other people’s money during a bubble can be almost impossible. We explore: • Why Scion’s SEC termination matters• What might be happening on “November 25th”• How AI-related stocks drove 75% of the S&P 500’s gains• Burry’s concerns about depreciation and overstated earnings• The parallels to The Big Short and his decision to gate investors in 2005• Why he may be shifting his focus to a different setting Whether you admire Michael Burry or disagree with him, one thing is clear: when he goes quiet, he’s usually thinking — and positioning — for what’s ahead. If you’re serious about investing, risk, and financial freedom, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
