Citadel and Peers Face More Scrutiny as Pod Shop Risks Grow (1)

Discusses the crowding effect of pods and how they account for ~30% of total GMV, along with their issues on potential leverage risks + liquidity. Will also attach the Fundamental Edge guy's take from Twitter which I thought was fantastic.

If any of you have seen my posts I tend to be marginally more on the skeptical side of pods. Not that I don't have tremendous respect for these incredible businesses, but mostly on the idea that they've morphed the public mkt structure into a NT momentum/trend following style arena rather than focusing on core fundamentals X valuation. This article largely suggests valuation in the context of pods matters demonstrably less than MOMO / NT immediate earnings revisions.

Here's the X post for context:

Happy to keep the dialogue open!
