Michael Burry, the investor who famously predicted the 2007 subprime mortgage crisis, issued a cryptic warning about market bubbles on Friday, advising that "the only winning move is not to play." In an X post on Oct. 31, Burry posted a still of Christian Bale—the actor who portrayed him in the film The Big Short—with a short, three-line message. "Sometimes, we see bubbles," he wrote. "Sometimes, there is something to do about it. Sometimes, the only winning move is not to play."
