"The way Eric frames his fund failure is dishonest. It's definitely not a fair and balanced history. He didn't fail because his investors quit. He failed because he's actually lost all the money with a portfolio like that. If the regulators allow this people are worried way too much about compliance brain damage. But I guess Eric might actually get in trouble for this it's worth watching" @orrdavid on X 2025-07-26 01:48:36 UTC 19.8K followers, 2017 engagements

"There's too much celebration of long only very concentrated investors from XX years ago.

"This was @ericjackson's portfolio December 2022. He just owned calls on the worst companies. In the Bloomberg article about him today he said he had more conviction in $OPEN than $CVNA back then. If the meme luck went the other way it might well be him with the $1+ billion fund today. Instead his fund went bust.
