Which funds/managers do you guys follow?

Hi - I'm a rather clueless student trying to learn more about different strategies in the HF industry in practice. I've been trying to read a report a day - investors letters/research. Currently following Hindenberg, Citron, Muddy Waters on the short side.

What are your suggestions on research I can read on the long side? or in other strategies - would love to learn more about credit/distressed/global macro.

Thanks guys

On the long side, I like Chris MacIntosh and Brad McFadden. They run an investing group called "Capitalist Exploits". They focus on long plays and they go for long-term gains. If you want to learn how these hedge fund managers think, then you can join their free live chat room where they provide their raw market commentary.
