Travis Tritt Song/Paraphrase =Lord have Mercy On The Workin Man.
Overall Melvin is still better than average;
but pity the clients that got in his fund late-53% in one month was it??
Nobart as noted before, good thing it was not a 60% dd;STAY IN THE GAME..................................................................
 
Anyone knows what is Melvin Capital's compounded annual returns since inception after the abrupt >50% loss?

TA is not bullshit but you make a good point that with Melvin's AUM to manage, he has a far more challenging problem that retail elitetraders here.

GME's short interest was more than 100% at one point. I don't know how much of that was from Melvin. However, I expect any risk manager seeing a stock with a senseless >100% short interest would have insist on reducing the short exposure to this single short. Maintaining a huge short on this kind of shorted stock is bad bad risk management and suggests undisciplined greed.

Listen up kids:
As per finviz.com there are 7667 listed stocks in the US. If you filter for market cap >10billion, 836 are left.
And these are stocks that you would enter a substantial position if you decided to play.

Let's say you want to be gambling with a little TA bullshit and a stoploss just like you guys then we would have to filter for market cap of 200b or more so that you don't have as much market impact.

Guess how many stocks are left? Exactly 38 stocks. Pretty small shark tank, huh?

What happened to Melvin was a black swan. A nasty one but who could have ever guessed that an internet forum orchestrated a short squeeze of these proportions?

Do don't confuse your own incompetence with an outlier

a lot of people hate country music but i learned to appreciate some of it, good one
 
It seems more like the hedge fund managers are
newbie, rookie, amateur, inexperienced, greenhorn hedge fund managers

who do counter-trend / against the flow/grain trading
and accumulate tons of losses.

To add on, any stock which has >100% short interest makes it an easy target for short squeeze, even if the business fundamentals is terrible enough to make it a good short candidate. Proper risk management means one should lighten up on risk exposure to this kind of excessively shorted stock.
 
It’s not less than an inspiration for retail traders to see how fund managers trade. They are more than just making investments. They are willing to learn regardless of whether they make profits or losses.
