Michael Burry’s bet on the Chinese e-commerce and technology giant Alibaba (NYSE: BABA) has been extensively covered for approximately a year.
The attention has been lent for several reasons, including a lack of a major short position – ever since the controversial bet against the semiconductor industry was abandoned – and because the BABA investment has been mostly staying in the red with many traders waiting to see if it will ever turn green for ‘The Big Short’ investor.
Still, while neither of the two biggest Michael Burry holdings – Alibaba and JD.com (NASDAQ: JD) – has impressed in 2024, the famous investor still boasts several major winners in his portfolio this year, with few performing as strongly as RealReal Inc (NASDAQ: REAL).
