One of the world's most acclaimed bears, Michael J. Burry—famous for making billions by predicting the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis, which inspired the movie "The Big Short"—has returned to the markets.
On Monday, Burry's Scion Asset Management filed a 13F for the quarter, revealing he added five new stocks to his company's portfolio. They are:
Burry's purchases come after the famous investor liquidated almost his entire portfolio in August to keep only one stock: Geo Group (NYSE:GEO), another American prison operator.
Interestingly, out of the five stocks purchased by Scion last quarter, three are in the heavily battered telecommunications sector—this year's worst performer in the S&P 500.
Despite his latest moves, Burry has recently stated that he still expects the general market to fall further. Still, as it appears, even the famed bear has begun to see buying opportunities out there.

Therefore, Fed Chairman Powell's words will be even more important than the magnitude of the next hike by the Fed. Markets will surely appreciate it if he lets these hikes' so-called "light at the end of the tunnel" appear.
In the meantime, silver, which I reported a few weeks ago, continues to outperform. And it may have room for further recovery, as it is still lagging behind other commodities in the year. We shall see.

For the time being, we have to wait for developments in the next 2-3 weeks, the next Fed meeting, and then start to draw conclusions for 2022, which, as mentioned, could also have the right push to surprise investors between now and the end of the year.
Meanwhile, Warren Buffett and Michael Burry keep buying.
