Michael “Big Short” Burry: This Is The Greatest Bubble Of All Time In All Things “By Two Orders Of Magnitude”

Via ZeroHedge

Earlier this year, none other than Michael ‘Big Short’ Burry confirmed BofA’s greatest fears, as he picked up on the theme of Weimar Germany and specifically its hyperinflation, as the blueprint for what comes next in a lengthy tweetstorm cribbing generously from Parsson’s seminal work, warning that:

“The US government is inviting inflation with its MMT-tinged policies. Brisk Debt/GDP, M2 increases while retail sales, PMI stage V recovery. Trillions more stimulus & re-opening to boost demand as employee and supply chain costs skyrocket.”

#ParadigmShift

“The life of the inflation in its ripening stage was a paradox which had its own unmistakable characteristics. One was the great wealth, at least of those favored by the boom..Many great fortunes sprang up overnight…The cities, had an aimless and wanton youth”

“Prices in Germany were steady, and both business and the stock market were booming. The exchange rate of the mark against the dollar and other currencies actually rose for a time, and the mark was momentarily the strongest currency in the world” on inflation’s eve.

“Side by side with the wealth were the pockets of poverty. Greater numbers of people remained on the outside of the easy money, looking in but not able to enter. The crime rate soared.”

“Accounts of the time tell of a progressive demoralization which crept over the common people, compounded of their weariness with the breakneck pace, to no visible purpose, and their fears from watching their own precarious positions slip while others grew so conspicuously rich.”

“Almost any kind of business could make money. Business failures and bankruptcies became few. The boom suspended the normal processes of natural selection by which the nonessential and ineffective otherwise would have been culled out.”

“Speculation alone, while adding nothing to Germany’s wealth, became one of its largest activities. The fever to join in turning a quick mark infected nearly all classes..Everyone from the elevator operator up was playing the market.”

“The volumes of turnover in securities on the Berlin Bourse became so high that the financial industry could not keep up with the paperwork…and the Bourse was obliged to close several days a week to work off the backlog” #robinhooddown

“all the marks that existed in the world in the summer of 1922 were not worth enough, by November of 1923, to buy a single  newspaper or a tram ticket. That was the spectacular part of the collapse, but most of the real loss in money wealth had been suffered much earlier.”

“Throughout these years the structure was quietly building itself up for the blow. Germany’s #inflationcycle ran not for a year but for nine years, representing eight years of gestation and only one year of #collapse.”

His punchline: the above was “written in 1974 re: 1914-1923” and then makes the ominous extrapolation that “2010-2021: Gestation” adding that “when dollars might as well be falling from the sky…management teams get creative and ultimately take more risk.. paying out debt-financed dividends to investors or investing in risky growth opportunities has beaten a frugal mentality hands down.”

And, as if reading from the same playbook, Paul Tudor Jones warned yesterday that things are “bat shit crazy” and if Jay Powell

“The idea that inflation is transitory, to me … that one just doesn’t work the way I see the world.”

All of which led to Burry’s latest tweet warning this morning…

“People always ask me what is going on in the markets. It is simple. Greatest Speculative Bubble of All Time in All Things. By two orders of magnitude. #FlyingPigs360″

In other words: “Brace!”

So what are you going to do about it?

Tudor Jones had some simple advice: “buy commodities, buy crypto, buy gold.”

“Tudor Jones had some simple advice: “buy commodities, buy crypto, buy gold.””

He forgot to add …. “FROM US!!”

Nice sales pitch, though.

G.R.E.E.D and wealth/income Inequality, if they get bad enough, lead to bad things like communism.

Why not “buy silver”?

Two orders of magnitude = 100 times! So Burry is saying at a minimum the current bubble is 100 times worse than 2008.

So, if/when it pops, what will home prices be? What would the Dow be?

I am in the ‘When it pops’ club and I think that rather than thinking about home prices or the Dow, be more concerned with food and water. ‘They’ are showing their hand right now with supply chain issues, when the food supply chain gets hit, watch out; you won’t care if that million dollar house can be had for a dollar, but you will care what the price of canned goods are. Food and water will be expensive.

Everyone will also need a sturdy wheelbarrow to take their dollars to the store.

Just like they did with coins last year, the stores will stop accepting cash as it becomes too cumbersome to handle the large quantities. It will be “for YOUR convenience”, dontcha know.

Anyone know where to get a sturdy wheelbarrow?

Not a joke, if you’ve bought any in recent years and actually use them, you know what I mean.

I keep trying to buy stuff that will either explode in price or be hard to find in the future. Things you take for granted won’t be there.

I spoke to Michael Burry a little over a month ago. It is good to see him back on Twitter. What he doesn’t understand is that this is all happening by design. In 2003 I called for a massive real estate/housing crash which was 2 years before Burry. In one of my recent blog articles, I explain why this is being done and where we are going.
