Via Reddit: Reconstructing Burry's Research Process
From FCIC staff audiotape of interview with
Michael Burry, Cornwall Capital[between timestamps 1:36:20 and 1:38:40]:
"
... It was a dark market. I was onto WorldCom pretty early and they went from
investment grade to bankrupt overnight ... I wondered why I didn't make more
money on this ... it hit me that's the way to short companies ... and I noted
there was a lot of these highly rated super leveraged companies where you could
buy credit default swaps ... and so I bought books ... Janet Tavakoli's 1998
book, and that was the first book I read ... I didn't take all those equations
and apply them ... but I got the basics of the market from that." |
