Leverage can make you rich. It can also wipe you out. In this video, I break down the timeline of Leopold’s Situational Awareness hedge fund blowup, how leverage turned a bad situation into a catastrophic one, and the risk management lessons every investor should understand. The biggest losses rarely... show more

You don’t talk about the fear mongering that Ken Griffey put out in the market about interest rates being hiked. It’s like yelling fire in the theatre. just to have chaos and then benefit from it.

I did talk about that. I think it was done intentionally. I don’t believe for a second they actually thought the Fed was raising this week. I think they knew Leopold was in trouble.

He yelled fire in a theatre against the law to do that and what he did was the same

Reminds me of Bill Ackman during Covid on cnbc crying in tears scaring everyone, meanwhile was aggressively buying.

He's still a billionaire, morale of the story: gamble with other's money.

It’s all a fucking scam. This fucker controls the market. Fuck Ken griffin

He learned the hard way.

Who are you? Sorry mama didnt swallow you!

He blew up to give us those entries, took one for the team

That in itself should be investigated,

I understand the lack of risk management as an issue, but I don't get the "leverage" point. Not an expert here. Can someone share the why of leverage being the key?

Leverage magnifies everything. A 20% loss on a position becomes a 40%, 60%, or even larger loss depending on how much you've borrowed. With leverage, you're borrowing money to take a larger position than you could with your own capital. If the position moves against you, your losses are magnified. Once your account equity falls below the broker's required margin, you may face a margin call or forced liquidation as the broker reduces its risk. Thats what happened to Leopold.

Crystal clear now. Thanks!

The guy wasn’t wrong, he was just unaware that the whole market could collude together in a clearly orchestrated illegal attack without any repercussions from the brain dead regulators. Fuck you @SECGov

Isn’t Leopold’s company still up 70-80% on the year though. Kid’s alright and I’m looking forward to seeing what he does next

yea kids gona b just fine he has approx 10B left. the lesson is really the leverage bc obviously he didnt want to sell everything at the lows but was forced to. hopefully he learns from it.

Hell is TOO GOOD for Ken Griffin 🔥💀

Idiotic take.

You nailed it!!! People don’t understand all the manipulation around this. It’s not risk management. He got ROBBED! it’s like telling people their neighborhood will be overrun by drug dealers so they sell. Meanwhile it’s a ploy to create a FIRE SALE

If you are going to lever up, do it with cheap financing.

Griffin pulled the ultimate Machiavellian move in a cutthroat game. 🫡 No quarter, no remorse. It's just business. If the situation were reversed, Leopold would have done the same.

Citadel once again manipulating the market

Liquor , ladies and leverage. Only thing that can make a smart man go broke. Charlie M.

Nice house

Insane!! I love ts

Ok, sorry, Grok is saying Bloomberg is stating he has 10 Billion remaining.

Sounds like an immature trader who can’t manage risk and likes to buy the highs and sell the lows ….but yes he will survive and do great! 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻💀

Get rich or get margin called trying

Interesting. The question I’ve been asking since day one—who knew SA was a forced seller, when did they know it, and how did they trade around that information—is apparently now the question regulators are asking too.

People go broke in the stock market is because it’s sheisty

You are full of shit

I think it’s interesting that everyone is saying Leopold has liquidated everything, but in fact in his letter to shareholders he says he is still public/private. If that is the case I would love to know how much of the 45 Billion remains. If anyone knows please chime in.

He has $10B left. He didn’t get wiped out he was forced liquidated at the bottom.

Risk management 101. More to come in Q3 and Q4.

Think it is ironic Citadel was the one ( I think) that got burned by that Kitty Cat guy that got GME a short squeeze. Thought about it but never did margin with stocks. Also good reminder no one cares about your money more than you.

He never had a chance.

1929 crash was primarily driven by leverage.

Remember Cathie and her AARK?

Calleyway and #Topgolf is for gays..
