There seems to be a certain amount of schadenfreude in watching high flying hedge-funds burn billions at the hands of well organised amateur traders.

Steve Cohen’s $19 billion Point72 Asset Management has lost 10 – 15% this month. Dan Sundheim’s $20 Billion DI Capital has lost 20% and Melvin Capital had lost 30% through to last Friday. Melvin Capital needed to take $2.75 billion from Steve Cohen to keep his firm liquid.
