• "The Big Short" investor Michael Burry suggested the S&P 500 could plunge below 1,900 points.
• The Scion Asset Management chief based his prediction on how past crashes have played out.

Michael Burry, the hedge fund manager of "The Big Short" fame, rang the alarm on the "greatest speculative bubble of all time in all things" in the summer of 2021. He warned the retail investors buying up meme stocks and cryptocurrencies that they were headed towards the "mother of all crashes."

The Scion Asset Management chief's grim prediction may be coming true, as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq indexes tumbled by 19% and 33% respectively in 2022. In tweets posted in May 2022 then subsequently deleted, Burry took credit for calling the sell-off, explained why he expects further declines, and cautioned against buying into relief rallies.
