Why 'Big Short' investor Michael Burry may have his own version of the 'Buffett effect'

Michael Burry publicly shorted several big names this week (Nvidia, Micron, Applied Materials, Caterpillar, Tesla and the SOXX ETF), and those stocks dropped sharply in the days after his posts.
Burry says there’s no “Burry effect,” but analysts warn his huge Substack/X audience could prompt copycat trades that move markets short-term—akin to a reverse Buffett effect.
Once famous for The Big Short, Burry now posts almost daily; whether his bets matter long-term likely depends on bigger forces (rates, earnings), but it’s a fun market-watch topic.
