When the tide goes out do you discover who has been swimming naked

If you haven't realized by now, Ken Griffin is a genius and the Situational Awareness deal is proof of a pattern that started decades ago (Save this).

Griffin started Citadel out of a Harvard dorm room in 1987 with just $265,000 raised from friends and family, rigging up a satellite dish on the roof and running cable through an old elevator shaft into his window just to get real time stock quotes.

That scrappy, do whatever it takes instinct never left him and it showed up again during the 2008 financial crisis, when Citadel lost roughly half its capital as Lehman collapsed and the firm hemorrhaged hundreds of millions a week.

What separated Griffin from most people who go through that kind of drawdown is that he didn't freeze or panic sell everything indiscriminately, he made hard, deliberate calls day after day, cutting costs, restructuring the business, and personally shouldering losses alongside his investors to keep the firm's credibility intact.

That experience effectively trained him to operate calmly inside chaos which is exactly the skill set on display now with Situational Awareness.

Leopold Aschenbrenner's fund ran up massive, concentrated positions in AI infrastructure names like CoreWeave and Core Scientific and when the AI trade reversed hard, those bets turned a sector pullback into a fund threatening collapse.

Griffin has effectively seen this movie before from the inside, so instead of avoiding the wreckage, Citadel bought it, taking on Situational Awareness's stock portfolio at what was almost certainly a steep discount to where those positions were valued at their peak.

The biggest fortunes are made when everyone else is forced to sell.

That's exactly what Ken Griffin has built his career doing, turning panic into opportunity while others freeze and the Situational Awareness deal looks like another example of that playbook in action.

Congragulations Hedge funds win again and the only loser in all of this is retail who got manipulated and panic sold

Leopold and all the retail traders on that wall 🤣

Too many people talking with a ton of certainty about where markets are gonna be months from now. High probability is usually local and conditional. The further out you go, the more shit you entertain.

🚨 JUST IN: Italian PM Giorgia Meloni is pushing to CLOSE Europe's free travel zone off to Spain — the Schengen Area — after hordes of 3rd world savages invaded Spain

SPAIN IS BECOMING A 3RD WORLD COLONY

The rest of Europe is soon to follow if mass deportations are not carried out on top of secure borders.

I thought putting on 4x leverage on AI stocks already up 1000% YTD was safe!

Everything is fine. All going to plan

We are still moving forward and we have planned for everything...

Let's face it. There is more chance of NATO taking out FIFA's Infantino than taking any action against Putin's Russia
😂😂😂

🚨 JUST IN: Elon Musk says the 3rd world migrant invasion will "DESTROY" Spain's ENTIRE NATIONAL BUDGET

It’s basic math: if Spain offers free stuff to migrants that is above 90% of the living standard of Earth, they create a forcing function for 90% of Earth to move to Spain, which is around 7 billion people!"

Nailed it 💯

Spain is destroying itself. Open borders are a CHOICE
