BREAKING NEWS

📉 Burry Shorted The AI Hype And Won Again

The man who predicted the 2008 housing crash just took profits on one of his most talked-about bets of 2026. Michael Burry, the real-life hero of "The Big Short," covered half of his short position in $PLTR Palantir Technologies at $107.15. The stock is down 36% year to date and sitting at a 52-week low. Burry's timing was, once again, uncomfortably good. He still holds the other half of his puts, so he's not done yet.

Burry spent roughly $9.2 million on Palantir put options, owning contracts betting the stock would fall below $100 by December and below $50 by mid-2027. With the stock now sitting at $107, those December puts are nearly in the money and worth considerably more than he paid for them.

Here's why Burry was so convinced:

• 🏰 He called it a "sand castle." Burry argued Palantir was trading at roughly 16 times its intrinsic value, meaning the market was paying for decades of perfect execution in advance. The stock has since proven his point.

• 🤖 He said Anthropic was eating its lunch. Burry argued that Palantir's model relies on sending staff to live inside customer offices for months, while cheaper and more intuitive AI alternatives are scaling at lightning speed.

• 📉 The chart backed him up. In early June Burry pointed to a head-and-shoulders topping pattern forming in Palantir's chart. The stock dropped 6.55% the next day.

The Munch Take: Burry spent $9.2 million betting Palantir would fall and fall it did. On the half he just covered, rough estimates put his profit somewhere between $15 million and $40 million, meaning he likely turned his original bet into a 3 to 5 times return on that portion alone. He still holds the other half of his position, so the meter is still running. He covered half, walked away without saying much, and kept the rest of his chips on the table. That's not a victory lap. That's a man who thinks the story isn't over yet. My wife asked me who Michael Burry was. I said he's basically a guy who looks at things everyone else is excited about and says "that seems overpriced." She said "so basically you at Costco." Fair enough.

Buy this stock tomorrow (Ad)

I've just revealed a powerful investing strategy that boils down to "Sell This, Buy That."

It's a way to rid yourself of overpriced AI stocks before the tech trade breaks down this summer... And instead move that money into smaller, lesser-known names that are showing real potential to dethrone the "Mag 7". 

I even give away a Hotlist and Hitlist of buy and sell ideas that you can act on right now.

AROUND THE GLOBE

📉 South Korea's Stock Market Is Having A Full Breakdown

The KOSPI, South Korea's main stock market, crashed over 8% today and triggered a circuit breaker, which is basically the market's emergency stop button. It kicked in for the fifth time this month alone. $360 billion was wiped out in a single session.

To give an overview, it’s not just having a bad week. This is a full-blown financial crisis happening in real time.

For context, the S&P 500 having a 2% down day makes financial news outlets lose its mind. South Korea's market is moving 8% to 10% on a regular basis right now. Samsung fell nearly 9%. SK Hynix fell 9%. Those two companies make up nearly half the entire index, so when they sneeze, the whole country catches a cold.

Here's why this market has completely lost the plot:

• 🐜 Retail traders are running the show. Korean retail investors, locally called "ants," trade fast and furious with a quick-flip mentality. Every dip turns into a crash and every bounce turns into a spike. There's no institutional hand to steady the ship.

• 💸 Borrowed money is everywhere. Margin debt just hit a record $22.4 billion, up 25% in a year. New leveraged ETFs on Samsung and SK Hynix were approved in May, meaning a 9% drop becomes an 18% loss for people holding them. Forced selling then makes everything worse.

• 🏦 The one buyer who could stabilize it is actually selling. South Korea's National Pension Service, which holds assets equal to 60% of the country's entire GDP, has blown past its stock allocation limit. It's now forced to sell into every rally instead of buying dips. It was selling on the exact day the circuit breaker triggered.

The Munch Take: A market swinging 8% to 10% this often stops feeling like a stock market and starts feeling like a casino. The retail ants are panicking, the pension fund is selling, and the currency is at a 17-year low. Every source of stability this market had is fading away. My wife asked me if we had any money in South Korean stocks. I said no. She said good. She didn't even know what KOSPI meant. Sometimes not knowing is the whole trade. Hopefully things calm down soon, because right now this market looks exhausted.
