. @leopoldasch's fund Situational Awareness just revealed he is long bitcoin miners & short semiconductors.
The fund bought $CRWV $IREN $CLSK $KEEL $APLD $RIOT $BTDR and exited $HUT and $CIFR
Leopold quickly went from an autist to a retard. No wonder he delayed the filings.
Trash companies: $CLSK $TE $BTDR (probably more)
Flipped from calls to puts on $INTC ($159m)
Over $1bil in option value long call/put in $MU
Over $800m option value in long call/put in $TSM
Many other options.
It's irresponsible to have billions in options like that (and not your money). No discipline in picking companies. Watch closely the next 3-6 months.
Leopold Aschenbrenner's 13F finally dropped and X is already full of the DUMBEST interpretations possible!
Please read this.
1. The 13F shows what the fund held as of quarter-end: March 31.
2. A huge part of the positions are PUTS. Does this mean he's bearish today?
-> WE DON'T KNOW! Everyone is just guessing.
It is completely possible that he bought those puts during the quarter as the Iran war escalated, to hedge, and they increased a ton in value. They might have started as small positions that simply grew a lot.
He might have sold them at the exact bottom, perfectly timed the market, and gone 100% long for the massive rally that started on April 1.
OR he was insanely bearish, bought a lot of puts, kept them, and completely screwed up by being massively positioned in puts before the craziest rally ever.
He could have made the most genius move or the dumbest move possible and now look like an idiot.
WE DON'T KNOW.
This is the issue with such delayed reports.
But of course today, you will see everyone on X go crazy with:
"Leopold went short aaaaaaaaaaah, the sky is falling, he's calling for a crash."
But that was months ago, in the middle of the Iran volatility!
We have no idea if he added to his puts or if he's currently 100% long or maybe even bought calls?!
We don't know if his move was good or bad.
So while you're reading all these takes on X today, know that you're going to read a ton of complete nonsense from people who have no idea what they're talking about.
But here are some things that stand out to me!
While he decreased his $BE exposure, Bloom Energy was still his biggest position (6.4%)
Closely followed by $SNDK (5.3%)
He also cut $CRWV from 8% -> 4%
I honestly can't believe he missed $NBIS so badly.
He also reduced his $IREN position from 6% to 3% (even though he net added shares).
Big $CORZ cut aswell from 7.6% -> 3%
HUGE cut in his $CRWV calls from 14% -> 1%
A lot of $TE investors are getting excited he built a position, which is definitely bullish, but it's worth mentioning that was most likely before the big drop after the disappointing earnings and it's a tiny 0.3% position for him.
One of the funniest positions is a 0.15% $GLW Put lol.
100% / Completely went out of:
$INTC Calls (13.5% -> 0%)
$CIFR (2.8% -> 0%)
$EQT (2.4% -> 0%)
Photonics:
$LITE (8.6% -> 0%) That one is super interesting to me.
Also cut $TSEM and $COHR from 1.5% -> 0%
