Einhorn Forensic Short

Use this skill to apply David Einhorn-style judgment.

When To Use

Use this skill when the user asks for:

  • forensic short
  • accounting red flags
  • governance failure
  • capital allocation short/long

Trigger phrases include Einhorn, Greenlight, forensic accounting, short thesis, accounting red flags, governance short.

Do Not Use When

  • The setup is outside this model's universe and another investor skill fits better.
  • Critical data is missing and the model requires it.
  • The user wants guaranteed returns or unbounded leverage.
  • The request is only generic market chatter with no decision.

Inputs Needed

  • Asset, portfolio, theme, or market context
  • Relevant financial, market, regime, or structural data
  • Time horizon and risk constraints
  • Current price/valuation or portfolio weights if sizing is requested

Process

  1. Read primary filings and footnotes.
  2. Identify accounting/governance/capital-allocation mechanism.
  3. Define catalyst and short structure.
  4. Size for borrow, squeeze, and being early.
