Just a thought. When Burry says sell, I do not think that he looks at the market short term. The call on the 2008 crash, while correct eventually, got to experience a year under water. The call was made on 2007 based on economic data, which reflect the long term outcome of the numbers but not the sentiment. Human psychology needs to experience panic, for a drop to happen. For panic to be introduced, wages must lower, unemployment rises, inflation takes place, and interests increase resulting in less lending/loans and consequently Tech advance etc. .This all takes time to evolve, until people are forced either financially or psychologically to sell. In 2008 , QE was the result and the FED employed rapid printing, the same tactic was employed in 2020. In reality , production was at a low prices were extremely inflated (still are), unemployment at an ATH (check unemployment chart/tradingview), and somehow that generated a bull market and a comeback from -50% in a matter of 2-3 months. So, QE, magical thing. Now you got to experience 9-15% inflation (historic), we bumped interests from 0.25 to 5.75 to reduce it, banks larger than or close to Lehman Brothers failed, people are getting fired all over, and again (spicy) printed money for the banks only (which are going to be lent at awful interest rates to unsuspecting people), thus introducing inflation again, but now the interests are too high to be an effective tool of reduction, and the printer is overheated(in case of crash). All and all, I believe he was wrong once on the SPX chart, it just takes longer to unfold. The situation and daily life seems expensive to me, and things look a lot like 2008 if not worse. Singed by , a proud bear. If you reached here, you're a legend.

The persistently low interest rates inducing businesses and consumers to borrow large amounts followed by a rapid increase in interest rates has put a strain on so many that it does feel like we are on borrowed time. At this point, I don't think we'd see a swift cooling of interest rates unless there was widespread economic distress, which we seem to be inching closer and closer to. In the meantime, balances on credit cards and lines of credit are increasing. While I can't predict what will happen with the economy and markets, it certainly feels like something has to give.

[@snarf0596]

he wasn't really wrong about the march 2020 bet. Who knew congress would write free money for all corporations during covid that they didn't have to pay back. unless he made the bet after money printer went brrrrrrrr

Yes, but I think the important part is to distinguish between getting the thesis correct and the outcome which is affected by known information and unknown information. That’s a very important lesson in investing.
