How to follow Michael Burry's disclosed positions in your own brokerage account

I'm Chris, one of the co-founders of Autopilot. Burry is the most-searched name we have and the most misunderstood, because people assume a tracker means his filings and ours doesn't work that way. Two Portfolios, opposite directions, both built on what he says in public. Here's how each one works.

One thing first, because we're an SEC-registered investment adviser and I have to say it. Autopilot is the app. The actual investment advice comes from Autopilot Advisers, LLC. If you want the full legal version of anything in here, it's on our disclaimer page.

What's public about Burry

Michael Burry is the investor who saw the housing crash coming and profited from it in 2008. His firm is Scion Asset Management. Like any institutional manager over the reporting threshold, Scion has filed Form 13Fs with the SEC, and those are on EDGAR.

He also posts. On X, on Substack, and in public comments, and he changes his mind in public more than most managers do. That second record is faster than the filings and, as of September 16, 2026, it is what our Portfolios are built on.

What the two Portfolios follow

The Burry Tracker is a Portfolio in the Autopilot app managed by Autopilot Advisers. Its description in the app says it is based on the X posts, the Substack and the public comments of Michael Burry, and it lists those accounts as its references.

The Inverse Burry Portfolio takes the other side. Its description says position data is sourced from a tracker account on X and from Burry's Substack, both of which publish his trades as they are disclosed, and that the Portfolio is built on the view that he has been right on direction and early on timing.

So one follows what he says he's doing and the other bets against the timing of it. Burry has nothing to do with either. Neither is affiliated with him and neither has his endorsement.

The honest limits

Commentary moves faster than filings and it is also looser than filings. A post is not a legal disclosure, it carries no standard of completeness, and somebody has to interpret it. That interpretation is the Pilot's work, not Burry's.

If what you wanted was Scion's filed book, that is on EDGAR and it arrives 45 or more days after each quarter ends. A filing can also list put options by the share count they cover rather than what was paid for them, which makes a small options position look enormous. That is one reason a long-only Portfolio built on a filing never looks like the filing.

An inverse Portfolio deserves its own warning. Betting against a well-known investor's timing is a strategy with a thesis, and a thesis can be wrong for as long as you hold it. Read the description in the app and size it like the speculative position it is.

Tracking versus following

Tracking means you read the positions somewhere. Plenty of sites parse the source and put it in a table, and nothing happens in your account.

Following means the positions are held in the brokerage account you already have, and stay updated. You pick the Portfolio, connect your brokerage, and allocate money. You give Autopilot Advisers limited authority to send orders to the account you already have. When the Portfolio changes, we send them and your broker fills them. The money stays put.

What it costs

A flat cash subscription, not a percentage of your balance. Per our Form CRS dated February 2026, Basic Tier has no Base Advisory and Licensing Fee, and Premium Tier is $29.99 to $199.99 a quarter or $99.99 to $699.99 a year. Pilot subscriptions are separate and add on if you follow more than one Portfolio. Because it's a flat dollar amount, it's a bigger share of a small account than a big one, so do the math at your balance.
