Michael Burry, the investor renowned for his successful bets against the U.S. housing market before the 2008 crisis, recently disclosed a series of new short positions. Burry, through a post published on June 30, 2026, revealed that he has opened short positions against Tesla ($TSLA) at $416.22, Caterpillar ($CAT) at $1,060.98, Nvidia ($NVDA) at $198.09, the iShares Semiconductor ETF ($SOXX) at $642.80, and Applied Materials ($AMAT) at $729.40.

Burry described these moves as part of a 'quarter-end sweep' against stocks he considers 'overextended' amid an 'AI and semiconductor bubble'. He even noted that he was glad Tesla jumped back to the level where he initiated the short, indicating he entered the position during a rally rather than chasing a falling stock. The move reflects his pessimistic view on current valuations in certain parts of the market, especially in the technology and semiconductor sectors.

For individual traders, moves by well-known short sellers like Burry can indicate alternative market perspectives. It's crucial to remember that while Burry gained fame for his successful bets, short positions carry high risk, and past success is not a guarantee of future performance. The specific size of these positions was not disclosed, and these reports do not constitute a recommendation for action.
