Hmmm....Michael "The Big Short" Burry Has Been Going Long A Few Names....Half Tthe 13F Is In Prison Stocks

What makes this especially interesting is that Dr. (M.D.) Burry had famously liquidated all his longs and only recently returned to the reportable stuff.

As always, boilerplate disclaimer, 13F's do not disclose short positions, non-U.S.-traded issues, or options.  

Thus, from the New York Post, November 16:

Michael Burry cryptically says market has ‘no idea how short I am’
