Dude just got profiled by the WSJ. Quite a story.
Christian Lamarco, 31. Went to a small Christian college in Pennsylvania with no Wall Street recruiting pipeline.
Once drove to Carnegie Mellon to compete against Ivy Leaguers in a stock-picking contest. Finished second. Won $100.
Cold-emailed his research to hedge funds, landed a job at a Chicago long-short fund, then quit in 2019 with just a few months of savings to start Culper Research.
Moved to NYC, working out of a Brooklyn apartment. His team? Just two analysts.
They started investigating Nvidia last year, then gave up. They doubted three guys could uncover something Wall Street had missed about the world's most valuable company.
Picked it back up in March.
Interviewed former Nvidia employees, dug through corporate filings in Singapore and Malaysia, examined scrubbed code, even studied YouTube footage outside a Taiwanese noodle shop.
May 13: After a sleepless night, a bagel and a cigarette, he published a 40-page short report flagging Nvidia’s China exposure and Jensen Huang’s relationship with Alice Huang.
The next day, Nvidia hit an all-time high.
Nobody cared.
Six months later, the story blew up…
Democrats fail to call for a recorded vote and GOP passes its bill that cuts veteran disability benefits and forces veterans to pay more to use VA home loan benefits … on Veterans Day
This is the type of thing that would ideally be paid attention to and handled by party leadership. In this case, that would be Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Whip Katherine Clark.
This is less than 24 hours after they failed to whip members on a vote to impeach Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, which failed by a 210-204 vote margin with 11 absent Dem members.
ABSOLUTELY INSANE.
THE HOUSE DEMOCRATIC ****WHIP**** WAS THROWING THE FUNDRAISING BASH THAT KEPT DEMOCRATS FROM VOTING TO SEND THE HEGSETH IMPEACHMENT VOTE TO THE FLOOR.
It would have been a tactical mistake to send the impeachment vote to the current Senate. Would be interesting to cross reference these 11 and see what superficial political capital they really had to lose by not showing up.
My last account had a lot of posts of my cats. But I had one go missing about three months ago, and didn’t have the heart…
But I wanted to post this:
6 kittens and their feral momma cat I’ve been feeding all summer.
I call the momma cat Princess.
Haven’t named the six yet.
Don Jr., who appears to be very high, thinks that Russel Brand was unfairly sentenced for 10 years.
He thinks the rape charges are BS because the allegations date to the 90s. He says they charged him because he's a conservative. Sounds familiar?
