Michael Burry is an American investor, hedge fund manager, and physician. Burry is one of the most renowned names in the hedge fund industry, managing over $1 billion in assets.

Michael Burry has been in the news recently after regulatory filings revealed that he had PUT options on more than 800,000 shares of Tesla (TSLA).

There has also been information released on which stocks he plans to sell, including The Allstate Corporation (ALL), Discovery, Inc. (DISCA), The GEO Group, Inc. (GEO), and Ares Capital Corporation (ARCC).

But what can people do with this information?

Coattailing is a popular technique in investing. When you use coattail investing strategies on some of the best investors, you’re essentially looking and copying the people who we know have made enormous rates of return over 20 and 30 year periods of time. Some examples of these types of investors are Michael Burry, Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett, David Einhorn, and Bruce Berkowitz.

So, how can you coattail the best investors?

Investors who manage more than $100 million dollars have to file what they bought and what they sold every quarter with the SEC. All you have to do is look it up. It’s free information.

Find out what investors you want to copy and then go to the SEC website and look at what they are buying and selling every quarter.

They have to file every 90 days, so check to make sure the price of the stock is still around what they paid for it. If you like the company, which is critical, apply the Four Ms of investing and make sure it’s on sale for an attractive price.

In this episode of InvestED, Phil and Danielle discuss Michael Burry’s 13F filings and why it’s important to do your own research as an investor.
