the benefit of building from scratch means you are much less constrained by what you can build
the hard part is that it just takes a very long time. fortunately for us, that is where we do our best work.
rebuilding the financial system from the ground up
The companion post to Final Stop Game Stop was the prequel, Foundations: The Big Short Squeeze, and the full history leading up to it. Read together for the full story.
And do not mind media @CNBC that comment without reading both articles.
“I had seen buybacks shrink shares by a third in the setting of 100% short interest, the reorganizing of the Board of Directors, and the selling of Spring Wireless for cash in the amount of more than half the market cap. All were home run/slam dunk activist successes with concrete results but zero impact on price or short interest.”

Last year @fejau_inc and I talked through the underlying dynamics likely to drive a longer-term shift away from the global overweighting of US assets. Seems like a good time to reshare that convo.

My journey on FinTwit has been nothing short of incredible.
When I set to go on my own in 2021, I remember a friend from the rates industry telling me “You are posting your thoughts on other platforms, but you’re missing out on the biggest of them all. Try Twitter”.
I had never used it in my life, but it clicked immediately.
The whole ecosystem was about deep research, sharing ideas, and some fair banter - just a fantastic place where to get high quality financial info.
I still remember working overnight on the “banking crash” of 2023 as I felt I could add value given it was about interest rate derivatives - my home turf.
Followers and impressions grew at an outrageous pace. A few times I was stopped in NY and London by fellow FinTwitters asking if I was “MacroAlf”. Crazy stuff.
Fast forward to today, unfortunately all of that it’s gone. It’s mostly low quality info, accounts flaming each others to get subscribers to their newsletters, and a ton of selective “look how smart I was” self-quote posts.
I hope it will come back to what it was. Really.
In the meantime a few people pointed me to the post below. It is flattering but incorrect.
I have gotten a lot of things publicly wrong. And I don’t have any issues admitting it. My win rate has always been around 50%.
Good luck to everyone. I miss the good old FinTwit.
