Just two questions: i) is Melvin Capital
still short Gamestop and ii) how does it still have
any clients left?
That s what we would like answered first and foremost after Bloomberg just reported that Gabe Plotkin s notorious Melvin Capital Management, best known for being blown up by a bunch of WallStreetBet redittors over its Gamestop short, and which lost billions of dollars requiring a $2.75BN bailout from Ken Griffin and Steve Cohen, ended the first quarter down 49% after dropping another 7% last month.
The sharp drop - which mysteriously coincided with a sharp surge in Gamestop stock in March - reversed a gain of almost 22% in February - when Gamestop plunged after its historic January surge, which caused Melvin to lose a record 53% of AUM.
