加了十三个小时的班,刚刚交差,打开电视,胡乱地选台,到了BLOOMBERG,里面有人说:"正因为他是AS,所以他...."
一查,这个AS没听说过,但是是那些最早觉察到了房贷危机的人,当然他赚了很多钱.
Michael Burry (born 1971[1]) is founder of the Scion Capital LLC hedge fund, which he ran from 2000 until 2008, when he closed the fund to focus on his own personal investments. Burry was one of the first investors in the world to recognize and invest in the impending subprime mortgage crisis.[2] Author Michael Lewis profiled him in his 2010 book The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine, and he was featured in Gregory Zuckerman's 2009 book The Greatest Trade Ever: How John Paulson Bet Against The Markets and Made $20 Billion. Kip Oberting, of KVO Capital Management, has described Burry as "a risk-avoider".[3]
Burry has described his "natural state" as an outsider who "just likes to find my own ideas", saying, "no matter what group I'm in or where I am, I've always felt like I'm outside the group, and I've always been analyzing the group.".[4] Burry graduated from Vanderbilt University School of Medicine[5] and did his residency in neurology at Stanford Hospital.[2] While off duty at night, he worked on his life-long hobby, which was an interest in financial investments.[2] On one occasion, Burry had been working so hard, studying both for medical school and also his financial interests, that during a complicated surgery he fell asleep standing up, and crashed into the oxygen tent that had been built around the patient and was then thrown out of the operating room by the lead surgeon.[6] He quit the medical profession in 2000 and started an investment company called Scion Capital, which would eventually make millions for investors initially by investing in undervalued stocks, and later betting heavily against subprime mortgages in advance of the 2008 financial crisis. Burry shut down the firm in 2008 due to personal and professional reasons, returning its capital to investors.[2] As of 2010 he was managing his own investments, which included almond farms in California, "a fancy way to essentially invest long-term in water." Michael Lewis said, "they require a lot of water to grow and he’s got a very complicated argument about why these almond farms are a good idea, so I trust him." [7]
Burry is married with children and lives in California.[2] He has been diagnosed with Asperger syndrome, as has his son.[8] [2]
