In the interview with
@vonniequinn she mentioned not only that had she launched the fund (Safkhet Capital) in January but that she was about to close the fund at the end of the month. Sounds good right?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likesShow this thread -
But wait, in an updated Bloomberg article on October 9th written by
@tatianadariee it’s mentioned that Fahmi Quadir’s fund is only $30m, and implied that fund is still open. This is all mentioned in passing natch and not subject to any scrutiny from@business.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likesShow this thread -
Quite apart from overlooking the fund launch
@tatianadariee article profiles Quadir’s exciting new short position vs$TSLA.This is a $30m fund taking a new short position (max size 25% of AUM, so $7.5 at most)-only in July– vs the most shorted stock in the mkt. Worthy of comment?2 replies 0 retweets 1 likeShow this thread -
Of course
@business&rest of media would have us believe Quadir is a miraculous originator of stellar short calls. As far as I am concerned John Hempton was way out in front on Valeant;he started publishing on$VRX short a full yr before Quadir supposedly happened on the company.2 replies 0 retweets 2 likesShow this thread -
Quadir told
@Vonniequinn in March that one of her fund’s 1st shorts was Valeant (now$BHC),suggesting this short would come into its own w/the Tanner/Davenport verdict in Spring/Summer. But these cases came&went,Tanner/Davenport were found guilty&Valeant wasn't found newly liable2 replies 0 retweets 0 likesShow this thread
I heard about her before she was ever mentioned in media and everyone was saying good things about her back in krensavage days - that said I think @RodBoydILM was first on valeant
