Michael Burry, de belegger die naam heeft gemaakt met het voorspellen van de huizencrisis in 2008, stopt ermee. Tenminste hij blijft zelf wel beleggen, maar zijn hedgefonds Scion gaat dicht. En dan zijn zijn beleggingstransacties niet meer te zien. Dat is jammer. Michael Burry kan erg onafhankelijk en tegendraads denken. Daarmee was het een bron van bijzondere beleggingsideeën.
Michael Burry, de belegger die naam heeft gemaakt met het voorspellen van de huizencrisis in 2008, stopt ermee. Tenminste hij blijft zelf wel beleggen, maar zijn hedgefonds Scion gaat dicht. En dan zijn zijn beleggingstransacties niet meer te zien. Dat is jammer. Michael Burry kan erg onafhankelijk en tegendraads denken. Daarmee was het een bron van bijzondere beleggingsideeën. Het sluiten van zijn fonds doet me een beetje denken aan het Tiger fonds. Dat ging dicht in maart 2000 op het hoogtepunt van de internetbubbel. De fondsmanager, Julian Robertson, gokte flink op dalende koersen van internet aandelen. En op het aller-aller-slechtste moment gooide hij de handdoek in de ring. Daarna gingen de koersen alleen maar omlaag, drie jaar lang. Tja, “markets can stay irrational longer than you stay solvent”, zei Keynes al. Eerlijkheidshalve moet ik er ook bij vermelden dat hij een flink koersverlies had opgelopen tijdens de Russische crisis en de LTCM crisis. Bovendien zat hij vol met aandelen US Airways. Die vliegtuigmaatschappij ging een paar jaar later failliet. Maar dat hoor je nooit over het Tiger fonds, want dat maakt het verhaal heel wat minder spectaculair. Tot op heden is Robertson nog steeds de posterchild, van iemand die de bubbel voorzag, maar er toch flink geld mee verloor. Michael Burry is bekend geworden omdat hij tegen de huizenmarkt in speculeerde. Hij voorzag de huizen bubbel en kocht een verzekering tegen het non betaling van de opgeblazen Amerikaanse hypotheek portefeuilles. Zolang de markt niet crashte moest hij enorme premies betalen en maakte zijn fonds verlies. Veel beleggers in zijn fonds konden de verliezen emotioneel niet meer verdragen en stapten uit. Maar degene die bleven verdienden ruim U$ 700 miljoen. En dat in een tijd dat heel veel beleggers juist flink geld verloren. Hijzelf hield er ongeveer U$ 100 miljoen aan over. In de afgelopen jaren zette Burry in op een koersherstel van Chinese internet aandelen. Deze aandelen zijn grofweg verdubbeld sinds hij zijn belang meldde, al stapte hij wel te vroeg uit. Voordat het fonds definitief sluit krijgen we nog een laatste beleggingstip mee. Burry heeft onder andere voor 9 miljoen dollar aan putopties op het AI- en defensie aandeel Palantir gekocht. Tot en met 2027 mag hij de aandelen verkopen op U$ 50. De huidige koers schommelt rond de U$ 200. Het zegt twee dingen. Hij verwacht dat de bubbel knapt. En dat dan de klap groot kan zijn. Dat hij van die hele lange opties heeft gekocht geeft ook aan dat hij geen idee heeft wanneer dat gaat gebeuren. Net als met de huizenbubbel. Tot die tijd is het pijn lijden. En daar kunnen veel beleggers blijkbaar niet zo goed tegen. Maar ja, Michael Burry, hoeft zich straks alleen maar aan de man in de spiegel te verantwoorden.

Winter feed costs continue to be one of the greatest determiners of profitability for ranches. Meaning, that more of it we have to do using equipment the less profitable we will be. Brett McRae has been working diligently to find ways to cut down on winter feed costs. One practice that has really moved the needle for him and his operation is grazing standing corn. Today we discuss this practice with him. We talk about how he chooses a field, how he determines forage demand, forage availability, as well as the soil health benefits of this practice.Thanks to our Studio Sponsor, Understanding Ag!Head over to UnderstandingAg.com to book your consultation today!Sponsor:Ranch RightSea-90 Ocean Minerals

North Dakota tops all other states in the production of several crops, including oats, flaxseed, canola, and peas, and ranks second in sunflowers and wheat. The state usually places between 15th and 20th in national corn production. While corn isn't one of North Dakota's top crops, it's still significant, its annual production is valued at about two billion dollars.

Special Episode: 5th Annual Fantasy Corn League Results
In this episode, Jordan Corn and Marcus Cauchi dissect the deeply flawed traditional approach to employee performance evaluation, the "Annual Festival of Fiction". They challenge the idea that reviews serve their intended purpose and share actionable frameworks for leaders to build continuous growth systems, rather than just checking boxes. Key Themes for Leaders and Managers 1. The Broken System: Checking Boxes vs. Driving Growth Traditional performance reviews are often theatre: they replace truth with formality and create anxiety instead of growth. When managers simply mark a three on a scale to avoid justification, they are "checking a box". The problem is systemic: reviews often exist as a paper trail for pay decisions and compliance, not for meaningful reflection or planning. Some reflection is better than none, but if the process isn't valuable or valued, it won't change much. 2. Relationships Come First Effective performance management starts with the manager-employee relationship. Reviews fail if the manager is a bully, a micromanager, or insecure. Psychological Safety and Vulnerability: Managers must earn the right to tell the truth by showing vulnerability, asking where staff need help and seeking their advice. Bidirectional Feedback: Feedback should flow in all directions. Employees need to feel safe critiquing management, and managers must be willing to listen without defensiveness. 3. Frequency, Focus, and Continuous Improvement Waiting a year is too long. Annual reviews without ongoing feedback are "like washing once a year". Real performance management is continuous, like adjusting a plane mid-flight. Agile Coaching: Regular micro check-ins: monthly 15–30 minutes or daily three-minute updates keep everyone aligned. Focus on Strengths: Lean into what people do well. Reviews should energise, not dwell on weaknesses. Separate Compensation: Tying pay to reviews is "absolutely inane" and undermines their value. 4. Systemic Issues: Hiring and Alignment Problems often start at recruitment. High turnover results from compromise, or searching for mythical “purple unicorns,” creating systems built to reject rather than select the right fit. Self-Awareness: Reviews can become "behavioral reviews," helping employees understand how they show up and how others respond. Preparation Over Ambush: Managers should prime employees a week in advance and encourage reflection from both sides. The goal is to synchronise reality, not sanitise it. Final Takeaway If you can't run a review rooted in honesty, psychological safety, and growth - or if you limit them to once a year - Jordan Corn says, "throw the whole thing out". Instead, leaders should redesign the process around the human being first, then fill in whatever is required for compliance. For teams stuck in the "Festival of Fiction," Marcus shares systemic models to "model and scale human judgment" and even measure trust as a hard metric, helping embed learning, dignity, and accountability into management practices.
