Michael Burry, the investor known as the real-life inspiration for “The Big Short,” warned that technology stocks may be in bubble territory as concern grows over overheating tied to the artificial-intelligence boom.

Walter Bloomberg reported on May 11 that Burry sees the market as showing bubble-like behavior driven by AI enthusiasm and momentum investing.

He urged investors to reduce exposure to technology stocks and raise cash holdings, saying they should “refuse greed.”

Burry also said short selling is too risky and too costly for most investors.

He compared current market conditions to the dot-com bubble of 1999-2000.

Technology stock valuations have become excessively stretched, he added.

Burry is widely known for predicting the 2008 global financial crisis.

Investors are watching how the AI-led rally in technology shares and elevated valuations will affect the broader stock market. The path of interest rates and whether earnings growth can be sustained remain key variables.
