According to BeInCrypto, "big short" investor Michael Burry increased his short position before Nvidia announced its earnings, while also buying Nvidia call options expiring in December this year with a strike price in the mid-$200 range as a hedge. Michael Burry stated that this option is not a bet on the stock price rising, and its cost can be covered by existing short and put option positions.Michael Burry believes that Nvidia's low price-to-earnings ratio may mask the valuation risks associated with its short-term monopoly position, and his own estimated theoretical value is significantly lower than the current market price; at the same time, he is concerned that the company will continue to expand capital expenditures, which may face earnings downgrade pressure after the peak of the AI investment cycle. In addition to Nvidia, Michael Burry has also newly established or increased short positions in Oracle, Palantir, Nebius, and Caterpillar, with his stock short positions accounting for over 21% of his portfolio (excluding put options).

According to Cointelegraph, the latest research from the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland shows that there are significant differences between cryptocurrency investors and traditional asset investors. Their views on the future returns and risks of digital assets diverge greatly, and the information about Bitcoin's historical price increases may further encourage investors to increase their allocation willingness and actually buy crypto assets.The research paper "Do You Even Crypto, Bro? Cryptocurrencies in Household Finance" is based on multiple rounds of household survey data in the United States, with each round covering up to approximately 25,000 households.Researchers found that compared to demographic characteristics such as age, income, and gender, investors' expectations for future returns from cryptocurrencies better explain who chooses to hold crypto assets. The study shows that cryptocurrency holders expect an average return of about 22% over the next year, significantly higher than the approximately 7% expectation of non-holders.At the same time, holders generally believe that the risks of crypto assets are lower than the judgments of non-holders. Researchers found that for every 1 percentage point increase in an individual's expected return from cryptocurrencies, the probability of holding crypto assets increases by about 0.8 percentage points. The explanatory power of return expectations and risk perceptions for cryptocurrency holding behavior even exceeds that of traditional factors such as age, income, and wealth.This characteristic contrasts with traditional assets such as stocks, bonds, and gold. For traditional investment types, investors' economic backgrounds usually better explain differences in asset allocation, while the crypto market relies more on investors' subjective judgments about future price performance.In addition, the research team discovered through a randomized information experiment that simply providing investors with information about Bitcoin's price increase over the past 12 months significantly boosts their willingness to allocate to crypto assets. Data shows that respondents who saw historical performance information about Bitcoin had an approximately 2 percentage point increase in the proportion planning to allocate to crypto assets, representing about a 47% increase compared to the control group's 4.3% allocation willingness; the probability of actually purchasing crypto assets also increased by about 2.5 percentage points.The study suggests that this mechanism may explain the cyclical boom and bust phenomenon in the crypto market: price increases attract more investors, and new funds further drive up prices, thus forming a cycle of "price increase --- enhanced optimistic expectations --- more buying."
