Retail investors following Michael Burry's lead in shorting #Nvidia and #BTC is tantamount to suicide. 1. Michael Burry used options and other short-selling tools. If you try to short with contracts, you can't withstand the volatility. 2. You don't have Burry's resilience. Burry could hold out for years; can the average retail investor? 3. Short selling is logically a low-return investment strategy: limited profit potential and unlimited risk. 4. Shorting #Nvidia and #BTC is like shorting AI or crypto narratives; time is poison, and the toxicity increases with each passing day. 5. I haven't thoroughly studied Burry's short-selling tools. He may have used a series of tools to ensure a sufficient risk-reward ratio. But most retail investors lack such channels and skills, and their risk-reward ratio is likely insufficient.
