Michael Burry, the investor who inspired "The Big Short," is building a technology portfolio with opposing directional bets. He is increasing holdings in software stocks while using options to wager against major technology indices and the semiconductor sector.

In a post on Substack, Burry disclosed that he purchased Microsoft stock on Thursday and added to his positions in MSCI, PayPal, and Adobe, further expanding his long exposure to the software industry.

At the same time, he acquired put options on the Invesco QQQ Trust ETF expiring in January 2027 and March 2027, as well as put options on NVIDIA and the iShares Semiconductor ETF expiring in January 2027. These moves indicate a cautious medium-term outlook on the broader technology sector and the chip industry.

This positioning pairs long software stock bets with short positions on the Nasdaq index and semiconductor sector, reflecting a clear strategy of sector rotation and hedging. The approach offers significant insights for investors focused on the technology industry.

Separately, on April 10, Michael Burry purchased shares of JD.com and Alibaba.
