"The Big Short" Michael Burry Shorted Semiconductors with Unrealized Gains Peaking at Approximately 34.7%

TechFlow reports, on July 29, according to public market data, "The Big Short" Michael Burry established short positions in the semiconductor sector sequentially from late June to early July, targeting Nvidia, Applied Materials, iShares Semiconductor ETF, and Micron Technology. Specifically, he began shorting around June 30 near approximately $198.09 for Nvidia, approximately $729.40 for Applied Materials, and approximately $642.80 for iShares Semiconductor ETF, and established direct short positions near approximately $1,051.87 for Micron Technology in early July. Around July 24, he further increased short positions on Micron Technology, Nvidia, and iShares Semiconductor ETF.

As of the close of the U.S. stock market on July 28, looking at the first batch of short positions established from late June to early July, Applied Materials short floating profit was approximately 34.7%, the highest among related targets; iShares Semiconductor ETF short floating profit was approximately 23.3%, Micron Technology approximately 22.0%, and Nvidia approximately 0.5%. Without considering specific position weights, calculated on a simple average basis, the stage floating profit of this semiconductor short portfolio was approximately 20.1%.

Additionally, if approximating the subsequent added short positions based on the closing price on July 24, as of the close of the U.S. stock market on July 28, the floating profit on added shorts for Micron Technology, Nvidia, and iShares Semiconductor ETF was approximately 10.9%, 4.8%, and 6.4% respectively, with a corresponding simple average floating profit of approximately 7.4%.

Due to the current lack of information on specific shorting scale, option structure, position increase ratio, and whether positions have been closed, it is temporarily impossible to calculate his actual profit amount.
