Michael Burry, a name synonymous with legendary investing prowess, has cemented his position as one of the most prominent figures in the financial world. As the founder of Scion Asset Management, Burry rose to fame for accurately predicting the housing market collapse of 2008, earning him a fortune and widespread recognition.
Known for his astute analysis and contrarian investment strategies, Burry continues to be closely watched by investors and financial enthusiasts alike.
In fact, tracking Burry’s investments and portfolio performance is now easier than ever. Thanks to an investment app called “Autopilot,” investors can now copy-trade Burry and other iconic stock market investors such as Warren Buffet and Nancy Pelosi.
