Current Market Conditions
The current environment is one of the most difficult markets in history. We are living through a technological revolution while simultaneously having major issues in the financial system. Most people do not know how to navigate this.
This is exactly the environment I was built for. I've been making money with long and short positions.

I expect pain in the near term. And pain breeds opportunity. But I also accept the fact that I can always be wrong, which is why I don't go all-in on one thesis. I allocate to great opportunities on the long side, express bearish views through defined-risk options, and stay flexible enough to adapt when conditions change.
There are generational companies at true inflection points right now. At the same time, there are amazing short opportunities for hedging and generating returns on the downside. Both sides of the market are presenting opportunity simultaneously. This is the best environment for a long/short strategy that I've ever seen, and it will continue.
Now is the best time in a generation for a long/short strategy. A great long/short manager who can execute on both sides of the market is rare. I have not seen anyone do what I did last year and what I'm doing now.
Fund Manager

I'm Matt, the fund manager. I've been investing and trading options for about 8 years. I have an undergraduate degree in Real Estate Finance and a Master's in Finance, but most importantly I have an obsession with the stock market and the skill to outperform.
As soon as the journey began, I was obsessed. I tried to learn as much as I could and continuously improve - learning options, studying previous cycles, experiencing the market in real time, and studying how the greats thought about risk and position sizing.
I don't watch Netflix in my free time. I'm staring at charts, listening to podcasts covering the markets, or taking in different perspectives on where things are headed. This isn't a job for me - it's what I do.
I began documenting my predictions and trades publicly on X as a real-time journal. I wanted accountability and a public record of what I got right and wrong. It turned out I was right far more often than not - and the track record speaks for itself.
I always wanted to start a hedge fund, but the time wasn't right until I had full belief that I could do it. After consistently beating the market and doing it with a long/short book - being so spot on about my read on the markets - now is the time to launch. There is a need for a good long/short manager to navigate this current environment and capitalize on the opportunity ahead.
Track Record
I started publicly journaling and documenting my predictions and trades on X in June 2025. I had my account before that but was barely posting, though some earlier trades like Walgreens still have documentation on X.
I think in terms of probabilities. My highest conviction bets have been my most successful. I combine deep fundamental analysis with macro awareness, a skill set that lets me invest in innovative technology while also understanding when the financial system is under stress.
Every trade and prediction listed here contributed to my outperformance. These are the positions I went in with size, meaningful allocations, not small speculative bets. Each was a high-conviction trade expressed through shares and options.
Of course I have losses. Every investor does. But the losses were smaller positions where I didn't have the same level of conviction. Everything here is what I sized up on and believed in deeply.
I barely ever delete anything on X and I never delete predictions I've made. This isn't a highlight reel where I threw a bunch of stuff out there and only included what worked. It's the real record. I'm happy to discuss the track record in further detail. Supplemental materials and verification are available upon request.
These returns were achieved primarily by taking more risk and using more leverage with options than I would in the fund. However, the philosophy and process still apply and will generate strong returns for the fund with reduced risk and tighter position sizing.

Knowing When to Walk Away
Part of the track record is knowing when to exit. I'm not dogmatic in my thinking. When the thesis changes, I change my mind.
I take profits, I don't get attached to positions, and I've changed my mind on stocks when the thesis broke, dodging bullets in the process.
What People Are Saying
Real feedback from followers who've benefited from my public analysis and calls.






Strategy
The core of the fund is investing in quality companies benefiting from the next wave of technology. I identify innovative companies positioned for outsized growth, while hedging appropriately and using options tactically to boost returns.
What sets me apart is pattern recognition and the ability to spot generational companies, deep value plays, momentum, and short opportunities while understanding broader market conditions. Whether I'm capitalizing on momentum or identifying downside ahead of the crowd, the process is the same: deep research, conviction, decisive action, correct position sizing, and only entering high-conviction opportunities with great risk-reward.
Frontier Technology
The core of the portfolio. Identifying and investing in the next wave of technology companies set to be multi-baggers. AI, biotech, robotics, energy.
Hedging
Protect the portfolio through bearish positions when the setup is there. My track record shows I can identify tops and profit on the way down.
Options Tactically
Selling calls and puts when appropriate to boost returns and generate income. Using spreads and defined-risk strategies to enhance the portfolio.
Swing Trades
Shorter duration trades in any asset class when the technicals and fundamentals align and risk-reward is extremely high.
Commodities & Treasuries
Macro-driven positions in commodities like silver and gold, and treasuries when the macro environment presents clear opportunity.
Opportunistic Value
Value plays with great risk-reward expressed through options. Companies like UPWK where the market misprices a business and the setup is asymmetric.
Investment Philosophy
The goal is to compound capital at 20%+ annually. I invest in what I understand deeply and bet against what I believe is broken. Every position is built around asymmetric risk/reward. Valuation matters. The portfolio adapts, tilting bullish or bearish based on conditions, raising cash when needed, and using options tactically.
I think in terms of probabilities, not absolutes. That's what makes running a fund a natural fit for me, because it's exactly how I allocate and size positions. When conviction is high and the risk-reward is truly there, position size is larger. When it's not, I stay small or sit out entirely.
My track record on X shows this clearly. My highest conviction bets have been my most successful. Knowing when the probabilities are stacked in your favor and sizing accordingly is one of the most important skills in generating returns.
Long Book
High-conviction fundamental positions. Long-term compounders and near-term catalysts.
Bearish Book
Overvalued names and broken stories expressed through put options with defined risk.
Swing Trades
When the risk-reward is extremely high and both the technicals and fundamentals align, I take shorter duration positions to capitalize on the setup.
Options as a Core Tool
Buying Calls & Puts
Leverage upside on high-conviction setups. Express bearish views with defined risk and significant profit potential.
Selling Calls & Puts
Generate income, manage exposure, or get paid to enter positions at target prices when implied volatility is elevated.
Spreads
Credit and debit spreads to define risk on both sides of a trade. Reduce cost on directional bets or collect premium with capped downside.
Risk Approach
The fund hedges in both directions. Being long and short simultaneously hedges away systematic risk and allows the portfolio to generate returns regardless of market direction. The fund hedges when appropriate - when things are overextended in either direction, we adjust exposure accordingly. The strategy adapts to the opportunity set.
Every position is structured so the risk/reward is skewed in my favor, especially when using options.
I size based on conviction and the quality of the setup. High-conviction ideas get meaningful capital. Speculative positions stay small. I actively manage exposure based on macro conditions rather than running static allocations.
Expressing bearish views through put options is a deliberate choice. It gives me defined risk on the downside while maintaining significant profit potential. I always know my max loss going in.
In my personal portfolio, I took larger risk because it was my own money. In the fund, the edge stays the same but risk management gets tighter: disciplined position sizing, conservative exposure management, and the willingness to sit in cash when the environment demands it.

Who I Learned From

Peter Lynch
Lynch shaped how I pick stocks. His approach to finding great businesses before Wall Street catches on, understanding what you own at a fundamental level, and having the patience to let a thesis play out is the foundation of my long book. I internalized his framework early and it's embedded in how I evaluate every position.

Stanley Druckenmiller
Druck is the closest thing to how I actually invest. Macro-informed, concentrated, willing to size up when conviction is high, and willing to change his mind fast when he's wrong. He doesn't just pick stocks. He reads the entire macro environment and positions accordingly. That's what I do.
“The way to build long-term returns is through preservation of capital and home runs.”
“I've learned many things from George Soros, but perhaps the most significant is that it's not whether you're right or wrong that's important, but how much money you make when you're right and how much you lose when you're wrong.”
How Outlier Capital Wins
AI-Powered
I use AI to supercharge research, fund management, and portfolio stress testing. It gives me the analytical firepower of a team while staying lean and decisive.
Battle-Tested Intuition
AI is the tool, not the edge. The edge is years in the trenches, thousands of hours studying markets, living through cycles, and making real decisions with real money. AI processes data. Intuition puts the pieces together.
The Network
I've built an incredible network on X. Amazing analysts, both fundamental and technical, who challenge my thinking and pressure test my theses.
Information is Democratized
All the smartest people in the world now share their thoughts online about markets and stocks. My skill is synthesizing multiple points of view and arriving at positioning that considers all of them. This is unique to this generation and allows a solo manager to succeed.
