🚨 MICHAEL BURRY WARNS THREE UPCOMING IPOs COULD COMPLETELY CRASH THE STOCK MARKET.
Michael Burry reported that the upcoming public listings for SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic are going to pull more capital out of the market than the entire dot-com wave of 2000.
Adjusted for inflation, just these three companies will raise more money than the hundreds of tech firms that flooded the market at the peak of the 2000 bubble.
The historical data from 2000 shows exactly why this is dangerous for stocks.
That year, the market saw 446 IPOs raise a record $108.15 billion. The Nasdaq peaked on March 10, 2000, at the exact moment this massive supply of new shares hit the market, right before crashing 80%.
The crash happened because of a simple liquidity drain.
When giant companies go public, big institutional funds need cash to buy the new shares.
To get that cash, they have to sell their existing stock positions. This creates immediate selling pressure on the most expensive tech stocks.
Today, the setup is identical but much more concentrated. Instead of hundreds of small startups spreading out the drain, just three mega companies are absorbing the market's capital.
This directly impacts current market leaders.
Microsoft has 49% of its $627 billion cloud backlog tied to OpenAI, and Oracle has 54% of its pipeline dependent on it.
The same big funds that need to buy the new IPOs are the ones currently holding these tech giants.
In the first quarter of 2000, the average IPO nearly doubled on its first trading day because cash was easily available.
By the fourth quarter, capital markets dried up.
Gross IPO proceeds collapsed 63% in a single quarter, and average first-day gains dropped to just 14% as companies rushed into layoffs and bankruptcies.
When an unprecedented amount of money is pulled out of existing stocks to fund a single massive IPO wave, the broader market historically runs out of the liquidity needed to sustain its peak.

You can't make this up:
Iran's trading advice to US investors actually worked.
At 4:12 PM ET on Sunday, Iran's Speaker of the Parliament said pre-market news is a "reverse indicator" and if they "dump" the market, then "go long."
At 6:00 PM ET, S&P 500 futures opened nearly -1% lower and fell just 30 points away from correction territory.
By 11:00 PM ET, S&P 500 futures had reversed all losses and turned green.
Then, at 7:25 AM ET today, President Trump posted that "great progress" is being made on Iran peace talks.
Now, the S&P 500 is trading +100 points above its low seen just hours ago, adding +$900 billion in market cap.
We are in the most unusual times in market history.
The easiest way to get ahead is to commit to a period of skill development. 6-12 months. Pure focus for 2-4 hours a day. Learning and building. Not just binge watching tutorials, but creating quality projects that you, others, or businesses could actually benefit from. But don't just let those projects sit around. Tell the world about them. See if people care enough to pay you. Fix what doesn't work until they do. That's it. That's what most people need to completely turn their life around.
