Someone else just forwarded this to me. Im glad Mike has done so well. He was a good guy who took a big risk leaving the Medical field to open up a hedge fund.

This section hit me: "Burry clipped the Bloomberg article and e-mailed it around the office with a note: “Lippmann is the guy that essentially took my idea and ran with it. To his credit.” Most people (me included) would have had trouble adding the sentence "to his credit", and would instead be upset that the idea was taken. I was also amazed to see how little capital he had when he started Scion. grommit

It is an interesting article on one hand. And it also contains everything I hate about journalists and journalism: sensationalism, a know-it-all and can-explain-it-all attitude that ties every detail and observation into neat picture that the journalist wants to present. The real life is much more messy and is not tied into "Our hero is a god, everyone else is an idiot, because he has glass eye and Asperger's". The guy should sell it as a script to Hollywood though.
