Odaily Planet Daily News: According to public market data, "The Big Short" Michael Burry had established short positions in NVIDIA (NVDA), Applied Materials (AMAT), and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Sector Index ETF (SOXX) as of June 30th. He then began directly shorting Micron Technology in early July.

As of the US stock market close on July 28th, the floating profit on the AMAT short position was approximately 34.7%, SOXX roughly 23.3%, Micron Technology about 22.0%, and NVIDIA around 0.5%. Without considering position weights, the simple average floating profit margin of his semiconductor short portfolio established between late June and early July is approximately 20.1%.

Furthermore, estimating his new short positions based on the closing price on July 24th, as of the close on July 28th, the floating profits on the increased short portions of Micron Technology, NVIDIA, and SOXX were approximately 10.9%, 4.8%, and 6.4% respectively, with a simple average of about 7.4%.

Due to the current lack of information on specific short sizes, option structures, proportion of added positions, and whether positions have been closed, it is not yet possible to calculate his actual profit amount.
