What comes as a surprise to many, prominent analyst and investor Michael Burry posted a tweet on Thursday morning that he was “wrong to say sell”. Earlier, Burry had forecasted that another economic crisis similar to the one that occurred in 2008 will completely flip the markets across all sectors. Burry was one of the few individuals who correctly anticipated the housing and subprime mortgage catastrophe that shook the world in late 2008.

Michael Burry Hints Market Rally?

Market participants are of the opinion that Burry’s latest tweet is supposedly a hint toward a market upswing as he has publicly acknowledged getting it wrong this time. During the market meltdown, the critically acclaimed investor on February 1 tweeted to his 1.4 million followers to “sell” their holdings.

Furthermore, Burry argues that high levels of dip purchasing have changed the current market landscape, as a report from Bloomberg suggests that 2023 is shaping up to be one of the best years for dip-buyers.
