- Did Michael Burry sell all his stocks?
While Michael Burry tweeted out “Sell.” on January 31, 2023, he had been busy hitting the buy button for his fund in the fourth quarter of 2022, according to his recent 13f filing.
Last quarter, Michael Burry built new stakes in Alibaba, JD.com, and MGM Resorts. It looks like he saw value in Chinese tech stocks after the recent sell-off on China worries and also began acquiring consumer discretionary stocks bringing his holdings in that sector up to 43.8%. It appears he was buying deep value plays at the end of last year, looking for a rebound in China and consumer spending in the U.S.
However, all we know from his public filing is that he was acquiring these positions and holding them into the new year, and not about any changes he may have made after January 1, 2023. He may have sold them all or added more, or this could still be his portfolio.
