Battered by 2022’s bear, the tech-heavy Nasdaq, in particular, put in an excellent showing, seeing out the month ~11% into the green, in what amounted to its best start to a year since 2001.

On Wednesday, a $2.5 billion sale of shares by one of its companies Adani Enterprises was called off.
The day after a successful share sale, the conglomerate of Asia's former richest man has decided to return investors their money.

Michael Burry, the hedge-fund manager at Scion Asset Management who correctly forecast the 2008 financial crisis, on Tuesday night sent out a one-word tweet: “Sell.” Burry didn’t elaborate, but it’s not hard to fill in the blanks.
