NVIDIA climbs 2% to about $170 even as Burry bets against chips, while AMD and Broadcom give back gains from the post-Huang rotation.
Burry doubled his Nasdaq 100 puts and bought back 25% of his SMH puts, warning chip valuations still have a ways to fall.
Huang's resignation, his House testimony and a Senate review of China chip exports leave NVIDIA facing mounting Washington scrutiny.

Michael Burry is stepping up his push against chip stocks, and the name most exposed to that push is bouncing anyway. NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock is at $169.80, up 2% in morning trading. The bounce comes while the company absorbs a leadership shock and rising scrutiny in Washington.
Over the past month, NVIDIA stock has fallen 26%. Jensen Huang resigned as NVIDIA's CEO on November 12, which sent the stock lower and lifted its closest rivals. Chip rival Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) is now pulling back 3% to $569.11. Custom-chip designer Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) is slipping 2% to $355.70.
In a Substack post on November 12, Burry shared his move. He said he used a bounce in the Nasdaq 100 off the 27,000 level to double his put position on the index. Puts are options contracts that gain value when the underlying price falls, so a slide in index giants such as NVIDIA would work in Burry's favor. Those contracts carry an early 2027 strike. Burry estimates it sits 20% out of the money, meaning the index would need a steep drop for them to pay off.
For many Americans, funding a 401(k) only leads to more retirement questions. Should you roll your 401k into an IRA, and when? What's the tax impact if the rollover check gets made out to the wrong name? When do required withdrawals begin, and how much do you have to take?

Burry also disclosed that he bought back 25% of a previously reduced put position expiring in June on the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:SMH). NVIDIA is the fund's largest holding. He stated that chip valuations "still have a ways to fall" and that he expects earnings to decline over the next couple of years.
That same post named Broadcom and AMD as potential beneficiaries if NVIDIA's power is weakened. AMD stock is at $575.60, down 2%. Shares of the GPU challenger had rallied as traders rotated toward NVIDIA's rivals after the leadership news, a shift Barron's highlighted on November 12.
Broadcom stock is at $358.86, down 2%. Like AMD, Broadcom had gained in the sessions after Huang's exit, and the pullback may reflect profit taking.
NVIDIA's gain runs directly against Burry's thesis. Meanwhile, the two rivals he favored are giving back ground, which reverses part of the trade that dominated the days after Huang's resignation.
At its core, NVIDIA sells general-purpose graphics processing units (GPUs) and full accelerated-computing platforms, from Blackwell to Vera Rubin, while CUDA, the company's software ecosystem, keeps developers and hyperscalers building on NVIDIA hardware.
As the challenger in both GPUs and central processing units (CPUs), AMD pairs its Instinct accelerators and Helios rack-scale systems with EPYC server processors. That combination gives cloud buyers a credible alternative to NVIDIA's stack.
Broadcom takes a different approach, designing custom AI accelerators, known as application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), for a limited set of large cloud customers. The company also sells networking silicon and runs an infrastructure software segment that includes VMware.
Washington's scrutiny of NVIDIA is widening. Huang has agreed to testify in a closed-door House session before Thanksgiving. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick agreed to appear voluntarily before the Senate Banking Committee on December 10 over oversight of NVIDIA chip exports to China.
Reuters reported that it identified more than $3 billion in Chinese computing projects built around restricted NVIDIA processors. For NVIDIA, the question now is whether the testimony calms those export concerns and whether the chip rally shifts away from the company toward AMD and Broadcom.
The bulls can argue that NVIDIA's platform lead remains intact and that the month-long decline already reflects much of the leadership turmoil. On the other side, the bears have ample ammunition. Burry's valuation warning, a leadership transition and rising regulatory heat give them plenty to work with (riding a mania is one thing, knowing when to step aside is the other, and we covered both halves in a free bubble survivor's handbook).
One near-term signal to watch for is a renewed climb in AMD and Broadcom shares, while a conservative approach could make sense until Washington's review of NVIDIA's chip exports concludes.
