Michael Burry remains bearish on AI stocks, maintaining short positions in Nvidia and other AI-linked names and warns that a period of low volatility and renewed risk appetite could push markets to a dangerous top, potentially setting up a 1987-style reversal.

Michael Burry says the market may be near a major top and could crash like 1987, even as the S&P 500 hits new highs.
