Even after heavy reduction in both gross and net book size, l/s are *still* above average on both metrics which implies more pain to come over the next few days.

Equity long/short bloodbath yesterday a combination of three factors — 1. Continued squeezes on widely held shorts 2. Heavy degrossing across the street, pressuring both longs and shorts, 3. Market down when l/s has been running a cycle high net exposure

Next step I see is for this to roll up into equity quant market neutral which has been largely unscathed so far, but overlap with l/s will start putting pressure there too, especially as the factors driving overlap (momentum, short interest) start to pick up in volatility...

Which will cause mechanical degrossing across quant emn books even if they are not yet suffering big losses.

degrossing = reducing your gross book size (ie selling your longs and buying back shorts) l/s net exposure is how much long/short funds are exposed to the overall stock market (ie the size of their long book minus size of their short book)
