The investor from the movie 'The Big Short' – Michael Burry – reveals 4 investments to his subscribers, including a secret and super interesting position. 🤫
We bring you what every investor needs to know: 🔔 Michael Burry, the man who predicted the 2008 crisis and became a cinematic legend (yes, the one from 'The Big Short'), has pulled out his private list!
- In his closed subscriber letter, Burry marked 4 stocks he believes in – we've noted what he says about them.
🔥 Burry's list 🔥 Here are the four choices Burry mentioned, representing the depth of his analysis and unconventional logic:
1️⃣ Lululemon ($LULU): 🧳 The athletic apparel company that has taken over the world, Burry holds it and simply says: "I like it." 👀
2️⃣ Molina Healthcare ($MOH): 🩺 The healthcare giant focusing on government programs (Medicaid). This stock has unique resilience, and Burry testifies: "I own it and I like it."
3️⃣ Shift4 Payments ($FOUR): 🧾 The payment platform gaining momentum, the trend of digital payments is the present and future, and Burry is catching the fast train.
His verdict? 📣
"I own it and I like it."
4️⃣ Fannie Mae ($FNMA): This is a choice that presents less conventional characteristics compared to others -
Fannie Mae is a government-sponsored mortgage giant.. 🐷
But note – Burry holds it, and emphasizes: "This is a stock I will hold for at least 3 to 5 years." 💎
Burry revealed that FNMA is a stock in the 'Pink Sheet' market – an over-the-counter (OTC) stock market in the US.
He noted that it was not published in the general letter precisely because of its position in this market!
Meaning – this is a holding that did not appear on the public list and therefore was less prominent until now ⭕️
Why is this interesting❓
Fannie Mae is one of only 2 companies that together back 70% of mortgages in the United States 👑
The company has been majority government-owned since the 2008 financial crisis – and in the last year has attracted a lot of attention due to rumors of a re-IPO on the regular exchange ⚡️
Financially, in Q3 2025, net income stood at $3.9 billion, with net assets of $105.5 billion and revenue of $7.3 billion (31 consecutive quarters of profitability). 💵
Following the rumors and discussions about a re-IPO – the stock has shown significant volatility and a sharp rise recently. 🔼
And does it get even more interesting...? 🔎
Bill Ackman, one of Wall Street's legendary stars, has held a position in the company for over a decade – while seeking to increase his investment in the past year 🛒
Ackman not only invests in the company, he also acts, even meeting with Trump and the Secretary of the Treasury for discussions on the matter, and talks and writes about it a lot; his posts on the subject have gone viral with thousands of likes and shares, causing the stock to behave like a typical meme stock. 🕯
Ackman claims the company returned $301 billion to the government (more than the $191 billion loan from 2008, including 10% interest), and built up $168 billion in capital. 💲
He calls for an end to supervision, a reduction in capital requirements from 4.5% to 2.5% (enough to cover 7x the losses from the 2008 crisis), and a relisting on the NYSE instead of a full IPO (which is "not realistic now"). ⏳
This would allow the government to gradually sell shares and earn an additional $300 billion, while maintaining implicit government insurance. 📊
The fact that Burry also holds a position adds another layer to the public discourse surrounding it. 🗣
