David Einhorn says the hedge fund industry is only about $2.5-3 trillion while mutual funds are more than 10x larger - and as trillions moved from active managers into passive funds, he thinks value investing got effectively wiped out: “the value investing industry... is defeated, so to speak” this... show more

Pretty incredible cope from David here. He doesn’t underpeform because of indexing. He’s just a mediocre investor.

Sounds like he is relying on greater fool theory to profit. How is that different than Bitcoin?

He should probably focus outside of the US. There are plenty of inefficient markets where he could make a killing.

At 4&5x aren’t they effectively buyout candidates. At that level you should be able to buy them and pay for them with cash flow

there are no excuses. trade the market in front of you

The retail investor can now rerate, 30% of the market is now retail investors following COVID. Sitting at home people start to look at who, why, and where their money was invested… and said I can do better.

Doesn't make sense to me. If they are 10-11x and good value they should return 10%+ annually to shareholders. If management isn't willing or able to do that, then it deserves a shitty multiple.

According to these guidelines, Einhorn should logically be long precious metals miners big time. What other group has this kind of earnings growth and free cash flow?

I would make an educated guess that what's happening here is that Einhorn's strategy relies on 1. a higher degree of modeling precision 2. shorter timeframes 3. and more positions than most value investors' portfolios.

The thing I would push back on is the idea that value got wiped out

They used to buy and then pump the stock to sell side strats, so they could then flip the stock to the active value mutual funds. Now they have nobody to dump it on.

Passive didn't kill value investing. It just made the edge quieter. When trillions chase the same index, mispricing hangs around longer for whoever still reads the filings.

A big risk in this strategy is private equity taking over for a small 20-30% premium, yet 100% downside potential. Doing a Buffett style rescue capital loan (8-10% preferred with a warrant attached) could help.

Very insightful, thanks for sharing.

Passive flows changed the valuation game.

Wait, so value investing is basically dead because everyone moved to passive funds? That's wild - cheap stocks just stay cheap forever now? How does

All looks different when market retraces 30 percent

Qué piensas @foso_defensivo ….?

Einhorn's blaming passivity, but the real killer was mega-cap tech concentration in the very indices that money chases. Passive just delivered whatever the index served, and the index served one flavor. Also, value ripped from 2020 to 2022, so the obituary reads a little early.

Who does price discovery then?

the buyback becomes the catalyst when the market won’t rerate you

Yes. Prices have to move if the stock pays dividends.
