Michael Burry — who issued a dire warning to investors by simply tweeting the word "Sell" in January — just admitted he was wrong.
The "Big Short" investor, who is the founder of Scion Asset Management, spooked the market with his one-word tweet on January 31. At the time, it was read as a signal to investors that they shouldn't be fooled by a rebound in stocks and should not buy into the market gains.
But Burry walked that statement back, tweeting Thursday that he "was wrong to say sell." The tweet had been viewed 6.7 million times since it was posted.
