Yup Greg is great. Think Ashler the best here. Since we're naming people (in a positive light obviously), I think Paritosh Batra is currently the best and most impressive in the sector. He + his team (many came from Anchor Bolt) are excellent. And Matt Simon - he's no longer a PM, but when you speak with him, it's clear he understands the sector on a whole different level - it's remarkable. He's by far the GOAT PnL wise. In addition (since it's such a huge sector and so many smart guys):

Chris Weltzer

Mukhtar Garadaghi

Blake Krystoff

Patrick Staub

Justin Walsh

Peter Odegard

Tim Abbott

Peter Gylfe

Several I'm forgetting, but the above are awesome. Was a smart young analyst at Viking who left recently. On single manager side, think Martin Kurtz and Will Guzick are good. Lots of $ makers

What coverage do they do? A&d, airlines, autos, machinery, ag/chems/mats, transport/logistics, housing/construction, energy?

 

LOL spot on. Was gonna write a long post about all the names in this thread but thought not worth the risk.... honestly think half of the posters are prob BD or pods juniors /intern trying to stoke ego. There are some nightmare PMs with terrible reputation on the other list as well FWIW. Seriously doubting the integrity of this forum tbh
