While everyone's chasing artificial intelligence hype in MegaCat winners, he's betting big on names getting crushed, my PayPal, where he took a 3.5% position. He still holds Pfizer, Adobe, Autodesk, and Viva systems, and plans to add Salesforce and MSCI. This comes as older software and payments companies struggle to grab attention in a market obsessed with computing power and fresh AI plays. Burry sees a disconnect, arguing the recent sell-off stems more from technical pressures like debt stress and private credit than real business, failures. Investors are ditching these legacy players for anything shiny and disruptive. Leaving solid companies undervalued amid fear-driven selling, Burry's call flips the script, suggesting Wall Street's overreacting to temporary noise instead of fundamentals. This thesis boils down to a reflexive loop of dropping prices and nervous positioning

That contrarian edge could pay off big if the market wakes up to the value hiding in plain sight, reminding us fear often clouds the real story in. This AI frenzy.
