In a document disclosure, investor Michael Burry, who rose to fame due to the movie "The Big Short," placed bets against Palantir and NVIDIA at the end of last quarter. This prompted the CEO of the artificial intelligence software company, Alex Karp, to respond vigorously, specifically calling out Burry. “It’s bizarre that the two companies he is shorting are actually making a lot of money,” Karp said in an interview on Tuesday. “The idea of shorting chips and ontology is **just crazy**.” Karp added, “He is essentially shorting artificial intelligence… which is us and NVIDIA.” Despite the software company exceeding Wall Street expectations in its third-quarter performance and providing an optimistic outlook, Palantir's stock still fell 8% on Tuesday. **Investors are increasingly wary of the high valuations of AI-related stocks.** Palantir's stock has risen 173% this year, with a projected price-to-earnings ratio of 228 times. NVIDIA, which has also risen over 50% this year, fell 4%. When discussing short sellers, Karp said, “I do think this behavior is outrageous, and when it turns out they are wrong, I will celebrate wildly.” A document shows that **as of September 30, Burry's hedge fund Scion Asset Management disclosed put options with a nominal value of about $187 million against NVIDIA and put options with a nominal value of $912 million against Palantir. The document did not specify the strike prices or expiration dates of these contracts.** It is unclear whether Burry profited from the stock price drop on Tuesday. The document reflects his positions at the end of September, and he may have adjusted his portfolio since then. Burry declined to comment on his positions. Karp said, “It’s not even clear if he is really shorting us. He’s probably just thinking, ‘How do I close my position without looking like a fool?’” Before this disclosure, Burry posted a mysterious message on social media last week, suggesting that caution should be exercised in the market. He wrote to his 1.3 million followers on his platform, “Sometimes, we see bubbles. Sometimes, we can act on it. But sometimes, **the only way to win is to sit on the sidelines.**” Burry became famous for accurately betting against mortgage-backed securities before the 2008 financial crisis, a story documented in Michael Lewis's book "The Big Short" and the Oscar-winning film of the same name. “For short sellers, it’s very complicated… Honestly, **I think what’s happening here is market manipulation**,” Karp said. “We delivered the best performance in history. It’s not even clear if he is doing this to close his position. I mean, these people, they claim to be moral, but they are actually shorting one of the greatest companies in the world.” ### 相關股票 - [Palantir Tech (PLTR.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/PLTR.US.md) - [NVIDIA (NVDA.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/NVDA.US.md) - [GraniteShares 2x Long NVDA Daily ETF (NVDL.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/NVDL.US.md) - [XL2CSOPNVDA (07788.HK)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/07788.HK.md) - [XI2CSOPNVDA (07388.HK)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/07388.HK.md) - [YieldMax NVDA Option Income Strategy ETF (NVDY.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/NVDY.US.md) - [Direxion Daily NVDA Bear 1X ETF (NVDD.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/NVDD.US.md) - [T-Rex 2X Long NVIDIA Daily Target ETF (NVDX.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/NVDX.US.md) - [T-Rex 2X Inverse NVIDIA Daily Target ETF (NVDQ.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/NVDQ.US.md) - [Direxion Semicon Bull 3X (SOXL.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/SOXL.US.md) ## 相關資訊與研究 - [1 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Software Stock to Buy Hand Over Fist Before It Soars 62%, According to Dan Ives](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/281430893.md) - [Nvidia Stock (NVDA) Braces for a Quick Snapback after a Rare Two-Quarter Losing Streak](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/281360100.md) - [Nvidia Stumbled in the First Quarter: Here are My Top 3 Nvidia Predictions for the Second Quarter](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/281620093.md) - [Bye Bye, NVDA!
