HEDGE FUNDS SOLD EVERYTHING,
I MEAN EVERYTHING.
We are in the middle of the single largest leveraged de-grossing event since the data began in 2016!
Equity long/short gross exposure just got cut by roughly 7.8% in October 2026 — bigger than 2021, bigger than 2020, bigger than anything else in the entire series.
At the exact same time, the share of Americans who expect their financial situation to be WORSE in a year has exploded to a record high near 40%. That is the worst reading in 65 YEARS of University of Michigan surveys.
Personal savings have collapsed to 4.2%, the lowest since October 2022, as consumption continues to outrun income and households run on fumes.
This is not a normal pullback. This is PANIC.

Panic is precisely when the greatest buying opportunities of the past 3,650 days have been created.
I have watched this movie before. Forced deleveraging. Historic financial dread. Depleted household buffers. The marginal seller has already acted. Leveraged players have been violently thrown overboard. Retail is washed out and expecting the worst.
The supply of motivated sellers thins dramatically once the forced liquidation is complete. That is the mechanical backdrop for the next major advance.
The correct response is not caution. It is not “wait for confirmation.” It is controlled aggression that scales with the indications.
I am Starting to buy NOW. Slowly at first while the headlines are still ugly and volatility remains elevated. Then I get AGGRESSIVE. I am very GREEDY when everyone else is fearful.
The last decade’s best entries did not feel comfortable. They felt like the end of the bull case. Prices were lower, positioning was lighter, and the narrative had shifted from euphoria to “how bad can this get?” That is exactly where we stand today.
Within this framework, three names stand out as the highest-conviction vehicles:
-
RH — Restoration Hardware is a high-end home furnishings and luxury consumer discretionary name that gets absolutely crushed when households panic, savings collapse, and leveraged players de-gross.
-
SOFI — SoFi offers a direct play on the consumer finance and banking recovery at a time when household balance sheets are under maximum pressure but poised to improve once rate and inflation dynamics stabilize.
-
GDXU — Leveraged exposure to gold miners. This is the natural counterpart to the current mix of financial stress, elevated uncertainty, and the potential for real-rate relief.
A violent deleveraging, historic pessimism, and depleted household cushions that together create one of the cleanest risk/reward setups of the past 3,650 days is what we’re seeing.
The process is simple. Acknowledge the panic. Begin accumulating methodically into it. Then press harder as the data confirms the worst of the forced selling is behind us.
The charts are unambiguous. The sentiment is historically bleak. The opportunity is the inverse.
This is the moment to be aggressive.
This is the moment to be greedy.
Start buying.
