  • Michael Burry deleted his Twitter profile a day after tweeting a single word: "Sell."
  • The "Big Short" investor has quit Twitter several times before, often after his tweets went viral. 
  • Burry has predicted an inflation resurgence, a stock-market crash, and a multiyear recession.

Michael Burry certainly has a flair for the dramatic. The fund manager of "The Big Short" fame deleted his Twitter profile on Wednesday, a day after issuing an ominous, one-word message to investors: "Sell."
