Talking about Michael Burry's $ARKK betWe all heard that Michael Burry just disclosed his short position in Cathie's ARK fund. I see people take this as personal and sexist and such. My take is this is just simply Michael's bet anticipating the rise of inflation. Inflation mostly damages growth stocks, and Cathie's ARK comprises of growth stocks.
Looking in to Scion Asset Management fund, he holds longs such as $GOOGL and $WMT, names that do not care about inflation.
In short: Michael Burry plans to take advantage of inflation catalyst and short high growth stocks.
