Michael Burry, known for his role in the financial crisis of 2008 and inspiration for the movie “The Big Short,” recently tweeted that he was “wrong to say sell.” This tweet referenced his earlier tweet from February, in which he urged investors to sell and expressed doubts about the stock market’s actions.
Burry’s earlier tweet came at a time when the benchmark S&P 500 index gained 6.2% in January, and the Nasdaq Composite saw an 11% surge, its best since 2001. However, in his recent tweet, Burry has retracted his previous statement and admitted that he was wrong.

It is interesting to note that the current economic status of the country is fragile, with a year-long fight against rising inflation rates and a budding banking crisis causing newfound panic. Burry’s perspective on the stock market may continue to shift in response to these developments.
Burry’s connection to the 2008 financial crisis was portrayed in “The Big Short,” in which he was one of the first to uncover the housing market bubble. While his recent tweet may not have the same impact as his actions in 2008, it has still garnered attention from those interested in the stock market and financial sector.
