Hedge-fund assets dropped below $4 trillion last month because of poor performance and investor withdrawals, according to new Hedge Fund Research data.

Burry drew a comparison between the current market outlook and major crashes that occurred in 1929, 2001, and 2008.: The investor and hedge fund manager warned of a rise in 'silliness' after the S&P 500 rallied 8.6% to bounce back from a 2022 low.

"After 1929, after 1968, after 2000, after 2008, the strain of silliness that transformed bulls into bubbles completely and utterly disappeared."
