Dr. Michael Burry just dropped a fascinating free Substack piece – the “prequel” to the 2021 GameStop saga. It’s a detailed chronicle of his early investment thesis from 2018-2020, when GME was deeply undervalued with massive cash reserves, upcoming console catalysts, and aggressive share buybacks that retired 37% of outstanding shares at an average of just $5.21 – all while facing extreme short interest.
He shares his letters to the board advocating for those buybacks and even his in-person meeting with Ryan Cohen. Burry clarifies the mechanics of the eventual squeeze: not primarily from naked shorts, but a classic gamma squeeze driven by retail options buying forcing market makers to hedge with shares.
Today, with GameStop sitting on ~$4.6 billion in cash, a ~$10 billion market cap, and still ~16% short interest, the foundation remains intriguing. He teases a potential “sequel” ahead.
As a long-time GME holder (since January 28, 2021) and GameStop Director, I always appreciate thoughtful, data-driven perspectives like this – especially from someone who saw the value so early. The journey continues.
Strong fundamentals + disciplined execution + time = compelling outcomes.
