> $530 million bet > long puts against 800,100 shares I find the title misleading. Unless I misunderstand, Michael Burry has not actually put $530M of his money at risk. He's made a much smaller, leveraged bet. $530M is just t

When I was a student, buying lattes would have significantly hurt my freedom. My stress level would be higher and I may have struggled to graduate before running out of money. After building a career, worrying about lattes was a waste of e

Here in the US, we had a candidate include a picture of himself... wearing a captain hat and striking a dramatic pose. He said he put it there to filter out the wrong kind of companies. We hired him.
