Strategy is now more like a Bitcoin hedge fund than a passive accumulator. Globally there’s ~10 hedge funds with an AUM above $50B, so there’s an extremely limited amount of money managers even capable of running this much size. Considering Strategy is already in the hole with an unrealized... loss of ~$16 billion and has yearly obligations of over $1 billion, plus they're limited to trading a single asset, there’s likely not a single money manager on Earth who could recover this position without suffering major losses. Saylor and his team certainly won’t be the ones to do it. “Michael Saylor basically said he’s going to treat Microstrategy like a hedge fund. Buying lows, selling highs. I think this company is so brutally set up for failure, it’s not even funny. They’re basically a hedge fund but they don’t have the corporate structure of a hedge fund, and they can only trade one asset."show more

I just verified this is true Tucke Carlson Show exposes “There's a victims of terrorism fund, but the actual beneficiaries are, wait for it, hedge funds” Things like judgements for 9/11 victims go to offshore hedge funds based in the Cayman Islands instead of victims The US Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism Fund (USVSST) established by Congress has prioritized hedge fund profits over direct aid to victims’ families They explain how victims judgements were sold to hedge funds for pennies on the dollar Estimates as high as 70% of the money goes to hedge funds overseas and lawyers instead of victims

BANNON: A hedge fund full of pension fund money went from $40B to $10B bc the fund was 400% leveraged on AI bets. This country already has a highly leveraged bet. On top of that, we’ve layered another highly leveraged bet by hedge funds and companies we don’t even understand. Some really smart ppl are now saying this is really a Ponzi scheme. This is not a commercial issue. This is a national security issue.

Martin Shkreli says running a hedge fund is the worst job in the world "That's the thing. I mean, why become a hedge fund manager? I have a friend who wants to start a hedge fund. I told him this is the most painful, horrible business in the world." "If you start a newsletter business that makes $50 million a year of revenue, you've done better than almost every hedge fund on the planet. You do not want to do this job." "And the reason people do it, and I did it too and I would never do it again, is it's the sexiest thing in the world." "I had friends wanting to quit really high profile jobs to be a hedge fund manager. I was just like, you're out of your mind, you don't know what this job is. It's waking up at 3 a.m. checking Korean stock prices, waking back up at 6, wondering what's happening in the world." "There's absolutely no productive thing you're doing. You're providing capital, but other than that you're really playing this high-stakes crazy poker game. It's certainly fun and interesting, but when it's painful and raw..."

Martin Shkreli says running a hedge fund is the worst job in finance, that a newsletter doing $50 million of revenue beats almost every fund on the planet, and that people only take the job because it's the "sexiest thing" being master of the universe.

"There's this feeling that Leopold was the one with the *courage* to take all this risk, or something." "But even that falls flat on a hedge fund manager, I'm afraid." Numerai founder Richard Craib: "Because it's like, someone goes all-in with pocket sevens. And he doubles his money." "Have you learned anything about his courage, or his skill, really? It's a bit foolish." "I also used to think this. I was a young hedge fund manager. I was a 28-year-old hedge fund manager. And I did also have this perception that, surely these big hedge funds are just so risk averse that, for psychological reasons, they refuse to take enough risk." "And I've come to learn that they're taking nearly the exact amount of risk that you should take." "Because these things are mathematical. There's a right amount of risk to take if you have a certain Sharpe ratio. And those numbers are smaller than you think if you want to run money for a very long time." "Leopold was up 400% in H1 of 2026. Well, Warren Buffett was up 5 million percent by basically being sensible for a very long time." "Do you want to do 400%, then lose everything? Or do you want to do the 5 million percent that takes 30 years?" "It's not that some people are unwilling to take risk. It's that they are already taking risk. It's just a small part of their portfolio."

The lads react to Saylor's $8.5 billion unrealized loss and the vicious cycle nobody wants to see: "The 32 Bitcoin sale isn't gonna move a trillion-dollar asset. But it signals to the market that he's open to selling. He needs to fund the dividends. Stretch is at 95% of par and selling off." "Stretch doesn't like it. Bitcoin doesn't like it. This is a potentially cascading, vicious cycle." "And look, I don't want to own an asset Saylor owns 3% of. I don't want to own an asset Tom Lee owns 5% of. That's just not what I signed up for."

He sent me the exact course that got him there. Bridgewater's 1 hour course on building an AI quant researcher. Their core team gave up the complete AI stack they run internally to manage $150 billion.

A 35-year quant veteran on why AGI won't beat hedge funds: Tom Costello (ex-Tudor PM, now CIO at Bedrock) explains: "A successful hedge fund makes money when other people make mistakes. They're looking for the antelope with a limp." "You're not looking at standard deviations. You're looking at a specific decision being made in someone's head." "Even if they come up with AGI, it's never going to do materially better than the hedge fund industry already does." "We're already capturing all the alpha that's readily capturable." "To beat us, you'd need to know what people are actually deciding, when, and how new information changes their minds." "If you could obtain that in a timely fashion, you could predict every blip of the market."

HOLY: Karoline Leavitt just EXPOSED how Nancy Pelosi’s 2024 stock portfolio skyrocketed by more than 70%—outperforming EVERY major hedge fund. All while earning a six-figure government salary. Leavitt laid it out: “The reason this idea to put a ban on stock trading for members of Congress is even a thing is because of Nancy Pelosi.” “She is rightfully criticized because she makes, I think, $174,000 a year and has net worth of approximately $413 million.” “In 2024, Nancy Pelosi’s stock portfolio—this was a fascinating statistic to me—grew 70% in one year in 2024.” “And her portfolio outperformed every single large hedge fund in that same year and even more than doubled returns of Warren Buffett’s, Berkshire Hathaway.”

"The bottom 40% of hedge funds lose money every year." Tom Costello (Tom Coste) ex-Tudor PM, ex-Caxton, ex-Moore Capital — explains: "Hedge fund returns are Pareto distributed. Like a chart of wealth — Elon at the top, a bunch of other billionaires, then it gets flat pretty quickly." "In the hedge fund industry, that distribution falls right around the 40% mark." "60% profitable. The bottom 40% lose money every year." "25% of the bottom 25% will go out of business and be replaced by another 25% pretty much every year." "There's nothing we can do to help them. They're asking the wrong questions." "AI's not going to help them. Machine learning's not going to. They misunderstand the markets in a fundamental way. They can't be saved."

Everyone predicted hedge fund capital would consolidate into the Big Four. An ex-Citadel PM says the opposite is happening: Rich Falk-Wallace explains: "Five years ago there was a consensus view that all capital would accrue to the big four multi-managers. Today what's happening is almost the opposite. There's this great fragmentation. Lots of the very successful portfolio managers from those firms are launching their own — and the ability to launch your own hedge fund is easier than ever, if you're focusing on the vertical that you're an expert in. If you're an equity long-short PM, you can launch a new hedge fund with separately managed account, SMA-type capital — where an allocator is looking for you to have some degree of risk limits. Fragmentation's the wrong word — it's an opening up of that market. It's not all the capital turning to those biggest firms."

"If the idea is not making money within months or a couple quarters — I'm wrong. Full stop. I'm cutting it." David Orr Ex-poker pro. Hedge fund founder. 40%+ annualized. "In poker the feedback loop is so fast that within even a session you've made so many bets. I have way more reps than most fund managers." "There's that saying — you'd rather be right than make money. Poker beats that out of you." Most fund managers stay wrong for years. They'll hold a losing position for three years and keep morphing the story. Poker doesn't let you do that. Neither does David.

People Are Learning Red Lobster Didn’t Go Bankrupt Because Of Endless Shrimp, They Were Attacked By Wall Street For Their Land Here’s the full story “The only reason Red Lobster's going into bankruptcy is because a hedge fund wanted them to go into bankruptcy.” “The media will never stop covering for hedge funds while making it seem like every problem is the fault of the American people. Like, I'd be willing to bet you think Red Lobster went into bankruptcy because of endless shrimp. You know, the endless shrimp promotion they had. Because that's what the media's told you. They've been telling you repeatedly that the reason Red Lobster went into bankruptcy was that they had the endless shrimp combo and the greedy American people just took advantage of it. That's not what happened. No, what happened was a hedge fund bought Red Lobster and as a condition of the sale, they made therm split up their land and their restaurants. Because up until that point, Red Lobster actually owned all of the land that their restaurants were located on. And then once they made them split that up, the hedge funds made the leases on that land so expensive that the Red Lobsters couldn't possibly continue to operate. So Red Lobster had to keep trying new and new things to try to make enough money to pay these leases. And it was never enough to be able to afford what the hedge fund wanted to charge them. So now they're going into bankruptcy. But the media is not talking about that and the American people were the problem. That Red Lobster made terrible marketing decisions and the American people took advantage of it. But make no mistake, the only reason Red Lobster's going into bankruptcy is because a hedge fund wanted them to go into bankruptcy. They wanted to put Red Lobster out of business so they could take the land that the Red Lobsters were on. Because Red Lobster has some amazing locations across the United States. And now the hedge fund is going to be able to sell off all the little pieces of Red Lobster, completely shutting them down and just have the land all to themselves. And look, I don't like that hedge funds are allowed to do that. Investors are allowed to f*ck over another company. But what shouldn't be happening is the media being complicit and trying to hide that fact. It's not just the hedge funds, it's not just the government, it's also the media. Absolutely f*cking nobody is on our side. Absolutely nobody is giving us the true facts except for each other.”
