US Top News and Analysis | Michael Burry adds to beaten-down stocks while warning of echoes of dot-com bubble

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Michael Burry, famed for predicting the housing crash, disclosed new purchases in several undervalued companies while warning that the current AI‑driven market frenzy mirrors the late‑stage dot‑com bubble of 1999‑2000. He increased his stake in Latin‑American e‑commerce leader MercadoLibre, added to positions in Adobe, PayPal, Zoetis and built a sizable holding in Lululemon, describing these as “mass whale fall” opportunities away from the AI spectacle. Burry argues that capital is overly concentrated in AI‑related themes—evidenced by 87 % of venture‑capital funding and a large share of both investment‑grade and high‑yield bond issuance—creating an asset bubble that could burst like the technology bubble, with debt that was once “clean” potentially turning junk. He urges investors to curb exposure to parabolic stocks and consider the overlooked, long‑term winners in older industries and international markets.

Yahoo Finance | The Market Is Down -- Here's Which Stock Between Amazon and MercadoLibre to Buy First

Investors deciding between buying Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) and MercadoLibre (NASDAQ: MELI) face a challenge in deciding between similar stocks. Both made their name by pioneering e-commerce in their respective regions before finding success with other businesses. Amazon led the way in cloud computing, while MercadoLibre's fintech arm has helped change how consumers spend money in Latin America.

Knowing those things, the question now is which top e-commerce company is a better buy in a down market. Indeed, both stocks are down from their highs, with Amazon off 16% and MercadoLibre trading 34% below its peak. For now, both its size and proven business model may give Amazon an edge. It balances a sizable e-commerce business with the world's first and largest cloud computing operation. Since the e-commerce operation sells just about anything, it holds some degree of recession resistance. Also, cloud migrations and the massive demand for artificial intelligence (AI) continue to fuel AWS's growth.

However, Amazon pledged $200 billion on capital expenditures (capex) this year, up from $131 billion in 2025. Even though Amazon holds $123 billion in liquidity, that spending could hurt Amazon if AI growth suddenly slowed. Fortunately, that spending has not hurt its growth. In 2025, net sales rose by 12% year over year, while net income surged by 31%. When factoring in Amazon's unusually low 30 P/E ratio, it could draw in investors. In contrast, MercadoLibre has succeeded by turning Latin America's challenges into successful business enterprises. It created Mercado Pago so its cash-dependent customers could buy online. Now, that enterprise is the region's leading fintech company. It was a similar story with Mercado Envios, when it turned a lack of options to quickly ship goods into a successful shipping and fulfillment operation. Unfortunately, rising e-commerce competition from Amazon and others has squeezed margins in that part of the business. Also, Mercado Pago's aggressive growth in the fintech market led to a huge spike in the provision for doubtful accounts, which covers loans lenders did not pay back. Consequently, the company's 44% yearly revenue growth in 2025 translated into a profit increase of less than 5% for the same period. That lower earnings growth may also make its 44 P/E ratio seem high. Nonetheless, its $87 billion market cap is a small fraction of Amazon's market cap of $2.3 trillion. Considering that Amazon routinely sold at a higher P/E ratio in its earlier years, one could argue that MercadoLibre now sells at a reasonable valuation. When comparing the two stocks, MercadoLibre appears to hold more growth potential in percentage terms. Its smaller size allows it to grow its revenue more quickly, and the P/E ratio is arguably low for a fast-growing e-commerce conglomerate. However, Latin America is a riskier region, and Amazon posts solid growth numbers considering its size. Thus, it remains a likely market beater, which arguably makes Amazon a more suitable choice for risk-averse investors.

Nasdaq Pullback: 3 Stocks You'll Wish You Bought on the Dip

There's good news and bad news for the Nasdaq Composite Index (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC). The good news is that the widely followed index has rebounded somewhat after plunging as much as 13% below its previous high. What's the bad news? The Nasdaq is still squarely in negative territory this year.

But I think there's great news for investors following the steep Nasdaq pullback. Many high-quality stocks are available at a discount. Here are three stocks you'll probably wish you had bought on the dip.

Finally cancelled the Disney+ side of the Meli+ subscription despite being barely more expensive than the base Meli+ essential.

I figured out that with university ongoing, I'm not going to have much time to spend watching video media and I'd rather spend that time retrofitting the Older Big Laptop to be a seedbox (first need to get the furry porn archive off that).

(Mom was the one mostly using Disney+ but now with her small houses obsession, all she needs is YouTube lol)

Hace poco hice mi primera compra a través de un #CourierPrivado llamado #Aerobox, que se encuentra presente en #Argentina, #China, #Ecuador, #EstadosUnidos, #Honduras, #PuertoRico y #Uruguay.

Qué placer es poder comprarme cosas en #EEUU, que no están disponibles en mi país, o que sí lo están pero a precios delirantes. Casi que dejé de visitar #MercadoLibre para tener a #eBay como primera opción de compra.
