Well Michael Burry got lucky calling the subprime crash. I recall after he went investing into water / drinking water assets ; so how did that turn out? Eitherway, it's drastically different to call ETFs or Index Funds to be comparable to complex derivatives and level of risk associated in the GFC. Furthermore, we need to question why Warren Buffet insists on just buying the index fund is the best strategy for the typical investor than to just try and time and pick stocks. For good reason because even the expert managed funds that pick individual stocks door a poor job beating the index.
