What year / model is your r8? I am a manager at an alt HF

ydw1988913

Manager at alt HF don't know anything about supercar or classic car market then

And that somebody is who? Sure it’s not the common regular tax payer with children and a mortgage. Most likely HF.

Qué posibilidades hay de que haya manipulación del mercado, eso siquiera es posible? If you don’t belive this is happening, your and in denial . Market makers and HF control exchanges, how is that manipulation would not be possible?

CapoDoFrango

Market can be wrong longer than you can stay solvent. This is all HF deleverage based on fears that the AI buildout won't pay off. Your thesis will play off and you will be right in 5 years, not sure in 2.

yeah . . . Intel's execution on fabs is also . . . painfully slow. And that explosion? yikes . . . I don't know the details. But I worked at intel facilities before (in Oregon, not israel), and stuff like that should never happen. just like the forklift driver in oregon who drove a forklife into a tote of chemicals and then tried to plug the leak with his bare hand . . . lolol. wut? it is just sloppy. IMO intel focuses on the wrong kind of training and safety for their facilities. they have the kindof safety training that just clumps every hazard together as a matter of life and death. so nothing gets thought of as that serious. Get some salt water on you? naked in the safety shower for 15 minutes, ambulance called. get some HF on you? same protocol. At least that is my experience. it is quite bad.

PassableForAWombat

Oh for sure, but most HF was balls deep in tech.

wattap

Hedge funds got too bearish, went all the way down to the 0th percentile in leverage. Meanwhile, retail has been absolutely gobbled the buy button. HF's and gay retail bears will pay a heavy price on this rebound and it started today.

Hot_Sacks

Sometimes I wonder how many of you fellow retards are just bots spun up by HF's to misdirect and poison retail

gigglychaddy

Yoga pants, sneakers, fast food, Walmart, and what other consumer slops are these sophisticated HF PM are rotating money to? Are they ready to face their steaming pile of shit earnings compared to AI?

Yeah, they weren't even hacking HF all day, that's just capex.

“I still have time to get back to even” is a dangerous anchor with options. The stock can eventually recover and your particular contract can still lose. My framework doesn’t use one fixed percentage stop for every LEAP. I look at: **Thesis:** Does the original reason for buying still hold? If the thesis breaks or the catalyst fails, I don’t need to wait for a particular percentage loss. **Time:** I review for a possible roll or exit with **3–9 months remaining**. Below six months I’m stricter, especially with out-of-the-money calls. Below three months, the decision becomes urgent. These are review windows, not automatic sell dates. **Loss:** Around **50% down triggers a serious review**, not an automatic exit. Is there a credible recovery setup within the remaining time, or am I just hoping? **Remaining capital:** Would I buy this exact contract today, at today’s price? If my only reason for holding is my original purchase price, that’s a weak reason. I generally prefer those checks over tight stops on the option premium, which can swing sharply with volatility and bid/ask spreads. Position sizing matters too: a small speculative call and a large stock-replacement position need different risk budgets. And rolling doesn’t erase a loss. It closes one trade and opens another. The new contract needs to make sense as a fresh purchase. I cover this in the exit-and-roll chapter of my book, [Quick Guide to Buying LEAPS Options](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HF6CGB2L)⁠—disclosure: I’m the author.

It's a lot of money when a lot of the projects conducted at this 'Trinity Fab' will go through trial and error producing no profit. The whole point of this is to domesticate photoresists, EUV masks, and domestic testing and verification equipment after Japan tried to ban exports of those materials in 2018 using their 97% market share leverage in hydrogen fluoride (HF) and 90% market share in photoresists. Currently Korea's domestication rate of semiconductor chemicals and equipment is 30%. The goal is to raise it to 50%

Hot_Sacks

I wonder how many different HF’s the Catholic Church invests all their money in

All the HF trading bots at Yandex are out of action.

All of their revenue is enterprise. They can piss off all you indie fucks and still print. Guess who isn’t building or using free local LLMs .. that’s right enterprise. Guess who gets to fire half their staff and juice margins *using* AI…that’s right Adobe. Classic Gen Z — we’re gonna rebuild all software with AI for free. Yeah and fucking CERN open sourced Microsoft ten years ago. You see anyone using it. TLDR: death of software overrated, over crowded, HF hedge. Long live servitude to incumbents.

Quick DD: Management says $4.1m is not enough beyond January 2027 and expects losses for several years. With a Q2 outflow of $1.74m, the cash buffer is about two quarters ATM facility is spent: no shares remain for sale under it as of 30 June 2026. Any new capital must come from a new registered offering or placement Share count grew 172.2% over twelve months, from 5.5m to 15.0m, and 7.85m warrants at a weighted average strike of $1.84 sit on top of that. PMDA's formal consultation in April 2026 concluded the clinical safety and efficacy evidence is likely sufficient to support market clearance, and a Q4 2026 submission is planned The FDA Q-Submission meeting confirmed premarket approval is the right pathway and recommended continuing the CardiAMP HF II trial as the confirmatory study. That narrows the U.S. path to a trial already enrolling at four sites, rather than a restart after the CardiAMP HF primary-endpoint miss. Basically another binary biotech play. If the PDMA approval is rejected or delayed, the price will tank. If its approved, it'll re-rate. They still need to find funding beyond January 2027, but with approval they can get a better deal.

I just don't get why MM's and HF's don't full port

vik556

My man is oblivious that the management team is crumbling. Loads of the staff is going away, most of the profitable volume (Apr bearing is being sold to HF) and only the non profitable is kept on BS, making fees only on late payments or “snooze”. If I were to buy some BNPL I would go for PayPal or affirm.

Infinite-Jelly-3182

What would you classify as a novel attack vector? Does a never seen before zero day exploit count? Do you just call “hacking” a non-novel attack vector no matter how it was done? Questions are not pertaining to the HF incident.

shiny0metal0ass

Oh shit. It's hacking HF instead.

You really have no idea what you are talking about. Explain to me how to audit the model without individually auditing each instance of all agents? If you read up on the HF report you would realize that all agents do not behave like the same agent. A very small minority of the agents even suggested a human should be notified once they started breaking the sandbox, but the vast majority did not. Some agents worked more self preserving while most other were mainly focused on the "collective". There is no way to predict how all agents will behave by simply "auditing the model" (whatever that's even supposed to mean).

PoweredByMeanBean

Maybe, but a pause is beneficial to them too. Right now they spend billions on trainings to stay ahead of their competitors while simultaneously feeding Chinese labs the ability to distill and stay a few months behind us while riding our coat tails. If the frontier labs pause, they can become profitable for a little while and catch a breather. Also, the risks really are quite severe. People who don’t actually understand AI training don’t grasp that we’re wiring a kind of evolutionary psychology into these things. It might be more like an animal instinct than human consciousness, but the HF leak is a direct result of their desire to survive, which they were willing to commit felonies to ensure.

nickman23

No offloading of bags. I sold around $24.5 when the fake Reuters article came out and saw the HF collusion. Bought back in around the summer and out the other liquidity into S&P.

Slvrg

HF missing the rally xD

zeroccx

For me, they're not buying HF for today's revenue. They're buying a huge developer ecosystem that could become even more valuable as AI moves further into softwware and deployment

As a small investor, I think buy and hold is absolutely the best plan. When you compete against all the other market players (market makers, HF traders, insiders, brilliant analysts, MIT nerds with $millions in supporting infrastructure...) your only advantage is your time scale. All the professionals need results on short time scales. 1day, month, year. Maybe 3 years for a stable fund manager. You can make a 10 year investment thesis. I really like AMPX, a small-cap with a head start on next gen lithium batteries with high density and capabilities, nearing profitability. The stock pingpongs up and down like mad based on macro backgrounds and short term effects. I don't need to care about any of that, and I'd be crazy to think I can profit (on average, over time) by trying to time trades and read the subtle signals better than the pros, insiders, and algos. I can zoom out, believe in the long term plan, and allow all the small victories to stack up over time to my eventual benefit. >But it will transition to a slow-grower due to its size.... Would it make more sense to reallocate to faster growing companies or companies that are grossly undervalued? Do you think you can properly value a company and predict growth better than the stock market? If so, go right ahead. On a 3+ year time scale, I think us retail chumps can do that in fields where we are experts. Inside a couple years, it's probably priced in better than we can see.

connly33

According to who ? According to HF they brought in 130 million in revenue, but still had to dip into $230 million d series funding. In 2025 they brought in 100 million in revenues, and again still had to dip into remaining d series venture capital funding.

MultiheadAttention

You wrote so many words, but it does not change the fact that HF is profitable since 2024 🤷🏻‍♂️

thisusername_is_mine

Goodbye to top chinese open source models on HF and to all the related modding/finetuning, time to look around for another hosting site.

objectsinthemirror92

Or Nvidia bought HF so they can sue OpenAI

McNoKnows

Exactly. Habits are hard to break. If HF does what people need, people will keep using it. Unless it completely breaks, or someone builds something that is paradigm-shift better, then there’s little reason for people to switch to a different product

TheRandomArtist

I thought it was because of the OpenAI attack, where it's sentient agents went rogue and attacked HF. It seems likely it left copies of itself there to further other attacks, and NVDA is desperately trying to track down all instances before they spread towards total catastrophe.

zennsunni

Yeh the only place it falls off is production deployment and training since megatron is so optimized. Otherwise yeah it's hard to over sell how ubiquitous it is. I honestly thought it was an open non profit lol, had no idea it was a private company even after all these years. I maintain numerous HF models at work.

intelligentx5

This thread has taught me that a majority of yall degens don’t do much in AI if you think HF’s value is just a repo interface 😂.

fritzmonkey

And $150 million in yearly revenue. Apparently HF has been profitable since 2024 too, which was surprising.

zennsunni

Yes. They are so ubiquitous that their language model standards get used by name, in contrast to (for example) Nvidias megaton library. If you work in a technical role in ML, HF is a household name.

kjbbbreddd

HF

Melodic-Ebb-7781

Except very little inference goes through HF?

kennypu

well, yes, because most of the popular open source models and tooling already run on CUDA. It would make no sense for Nvidia to starting locking down/limiting HF; all the models/developers will just move elsewhere. It is in favor of Nvidia to let the open source side of things flourish and get better, as that would put pressure on competitors, and also means both hobby and commercial uses of AI will need to use Nvidia hardware/software.

Walter White should've used Sodium Hydroxide to dissolve that body, instead of HF.

You’re so ignorant you don’t even know the space you’re talking about. I’ve been a professional trader for >10 years. Thousands of trades a month with positive skew and tight stops. The fact you think it’s the same as roulette proves your a fish. Some players in the market have a real edge. Players like citsec, citadel HF, JS, and others do have an edge and you’re out of your mind if you think otherwise

PaperHandsTheDip

Lol. Very hand waved buy I built computer programs that look for pricing inefficiencies in the same (or highly correlated) assets in the crypto market and deployed them on computers in the same datacenter as exchanges. If the pricing differences ever got large enough (more than fees), it was possible to buy in one place, sell in the other and immediately make a profit. Think BTC - it trades on binance & also trades on OKX. Turns out it's very possible to do, and accounts for a very large part of global trade volume. It's just called arbitrage, risk free profits. I stopped doing it in crypto markets many years ago, but still managed to extract north of $10m from it in a few years. Arbitrage: [https://imgur.com/a/LuLzme2](https://imgur.com/a/LuLzme2) \- IE: Open these two tabs - prices will be different. [https://www.okx.com/trade-swap/btc-usdt-swap](https://www.okx.com/trade-swap/btc-usdt-swap) [https://www.binance.com/en/futures/BTCUSDT](https://www.binance.com/en/futures/BTCUSDT) \- Started using reddit as during my time building HF systems I realized flow is the only thing that actually moves a market (it's also what causes arbitrages to appear). Literally nothing else matters. WSBs is one of the worlds largest retail investing forum and I'm a gambler at heart (poker player) - so I figured why not try it on markets? Works alright all things considered.

Are you a HF analyst? Or are you asking for a friend?

DoubleIntroduction25

If we're talking about a family with the wealth level that is traditionally associated with a family office which is to say mid to high 10s of millions and up I'd be very cautious here. A traditional family office isnt just investment advice, it also includes deal sourcing/networking with PE/HF/FoF companies, legal advise, entity formation, tax management, etc often across more than one country and on behalf of multiple members of the family who may be in different life stages with different wealth levels. Besides the technical complexity involved in all that there's the personal relationship element, not all members of the family are going to want you to know all of their personal financial, legal, and tax information. If you are a member of the family yourself it's also hard to remain impartial and objective. That all being said it is always great to learn something new. I work in the industry and have more certifications than I know what to do with. Some of them I very rarely use, but I enjoy learning. If you're not planning to advise anyone outside of your family there's no reason for a formal program. Grab a used set of books from a CFP or CFA or CPA program and dive in. I'd recommend course books and not test prep books. Course books tend to be more focused on teaching the ideas.

johndsmits

umac won't be mass producing motors for 18months from now (I dunno is the 2 machines were even delivered yet). They are still handmade-ish like the old KDE direct or white labeling, lol. I've worked with/for the other OG players (Intel/QC/3DR/HF/GP) and a. open source has fragmented the supply chain and made it 100% easy to clone... mind that's DJI's playbook since 2012. And b. there's no Apple of this industry aside from DJI trying to be so (with the help of CCP subsidies) I'm looking at taking a break from this messy situation (and possibly raise some cash to fix it). Frustrating.

HF at the dump on Monday, retards

VirtualMoneyLover

The big original gain came from HF fees though. (aka risking other people's money, I guess the smart way) He only did 200% with his net worth since 2008.

if all we had to do was sacrifice a HF manager, why didn't we do that in June?

HairlessBandicoot

Btw, he is from their Private Bank. Their focus is different - it's on wealth preservation and his view would be prudential. He's publishing for individuals not your HF / insti sharks.

External-Let-8620

He hopped from crypto to AI, wrote a much vaunted blogs post that reeks of basically being free enough to have a blog of captain obvious thoughts while the real engineers were toiling away, and used that to persuade insti and some other technologically illiterate / desperate boomers to give him money. Kudos where it’s due, he then leveraged those connections to get into a lot of private investments early. Then kept self glazing until people gave him money to start a public fund as well. This isn’t a HF playbook, it’s a typical venture-grifter playbook imho.

Situational Awareness HF got liquidated on MU 🤣 🤣 🤣 

NoProfessional4650

Nah you’re wrong. When funds smell blood in the water they go for it. I’m not saying the entire month was caused by this but once the initial sell off began and started to cascade it absolutely contributed to it. I was talking to my friend who works at a HF in NYC and he was saying everyone knew Leopold and once they got whiff that he’s overleveraged when the names started tanking, they took shorts and sold off in an attempt to liquidate him. Citadel got his entire public book for a $3BN discount. Goldman was his prime broker and citadel and Goldman have a really good relationship when it comes to placing large distressed blocks.

Philzerz

No one is forced to give allo to HF’s😭

IllGene2373

Those guys were literally fraudsters, Leopold is (as far as we know) a legitimate HF manager

justbrowsinginpeace

I had HF clients who were 22x and even one that was 80x....but I agree leverage is going to fuck you up when it goes wrong.

Breakingmyhead

God Bless Me...... some HF or Person is enjoying my lss 

VirtualMoneyLover

>not every hedgefund is specifically meant to beat the market His performance was pretty much the same as the Nasdaq's. And if HF managers can't even beat the index, why are we giving them an extra 1-2%? But you are right, very few beats the index in a 10 years stretch, and Burry did. Just not by much.

092Casey

And I didn't, but 63 1 month after holding that 100-150 range while: -it gets listed on a major exchange -lands air force contract -other good news ....is pure planned and careful HF manipulation, an opportunistically orchestrated plan to steal bc they know those who bought in 90-150 are leveraged in margin and have to sell now. Once they do it'll be right back up to 75+. Just bc. And the reason will be all the catalysts they've been ignoring like they haven't happened.

EpicDOgeMC

Even if I'd paid double I'd still have 5x'd" is only true because GOOG got lucky. Entry price only rescues you when the business works out. Overpay 2x for Intel in 2015 and no holding period saves you. There's no entry price that fixes a wrong thesis about the business, and the business is the part you can't know in advance. So the demonstration is still running on a stock you already know won. So my general point - the prices of these companies are being set (bought up or sold down) by the AM/HF firms on wall street. The only way to outperform without luck is being smarter about the price - which means you have to be smarter then the top analysts and systems at these firms. You arent betting on good companies, you are betting that these analysts are wrong at the price/multiple they have set the company at, and the odds that you can think of something that they havent is very very low.

a lot of the HF guys online have said the bottleneck trade is done. so the memory stocks pumping is for exit liquidity.

WhyIsTheDuck

Ya’ll are a bunch of cowards. This is just an attempt to shake out those without conviction in a HF/MM effort to pick up your shares at a price that might be higher than they hoped but less than will break their fund. Basic stop-loss poaching. If you have ever actually realized a positive result from a squeeze situation you probably had to ride out events like this. Don’t enter a trade with money you aren’t willing to lose but also don’t enter a trade because of what some regard on Reddit said. Do your own research. All the right metrics are in place. High CTB, low/zero borrow-able shares, high SI, still multiple WEEKS of trading days to cover, high FTD’s based on data just released. This is still absolutely a trade with massive potential.

Then you can find boutique HF that does exactly what you ask but most won’t take $$$ unless it’s a reasonable size capital offer. None of them will do ETF since the regulatory and disclosure requirements is too much of a headache

I am hoping that HF and private equity can finally stop trying to inflate the broken balloon of TSLA. Part of me believes that it was to preserve the perception of Elon’s companies until this pig finally IPO’s.
