Michael Burry Calls Index Funds a Bubble

Original: The Big Short’s Michael Berry Called Index Funds a Bubble. Here’s What the Record Shows

Michael Burry, the investor known for predicting the 2008 housing crash and portrayed in The Big Short, has again warned that index funds are a bubble. The claim is being examined against his past market calls and their track record. The argument is that passive investing has inflated stock prices beyond fundamentals, revoking a familiar debate about whether money flowing automatically into index trackers is distorting market valuations.

Why now: Burry's past predictions give his warnings outsized attention, and index fund investing is now central to millions of ordinary portfolios.
