The Big Short investor Michael Burry had a busy week in the market as he took entry positions in four different stocks. These were divided carefully, with two of them deemed for the long term and the other two were shorts. The assets were accumulated when prices stagnated and remained range-bound.

Michael Burry Buys These 4 Stocks: Goes Long and Short on 2
Former hedge-fund manager Michael Burry purchased medicine producer Zoetis Inc (NYSE: ZTS) stock at $73.60 per share. He also accumulated the South American e-commerce giant MercadoLibre Inc (NASDAQ: MELI) at $1,850 per share. The Big Short trader went long on these two equities, believing in their future potential.
ZTS, has been trading flat since three month, after it faced a flash crash of 30% in May this year. MELI had also dropped 5.61% from $1,936 and Michael Burry sees it as a below a fair valuation. He appears to be bullish on the assets and is confident that it would break out from its stagnation phase and race ahead in the indices.
On the other hand, Michael Burry has taken short positions on two stocks namely Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Palantir (NASDAQ: PLTR). The bearish bets stem from his belief that the AI sector is in a bubble. He has repeatedly stated that instability in the AI sector would soon pop up. He has been bearish on the AI industry for a year, questioning its unnecessary spending. All tech titans have a capex of more than $100 billion, and this is the reason why Wall Street is facing jitters.
