In short: Heavily short: a closed/venture vehicle with concentrated OpenAI/Anthropic secondary allocations. The public market is applying heavy discounts to these pre-IPO wrappers as Microsoft's model-swapping shows the OpenAI/Anthropic enterprise moats are "far less secure than originally hyped."

In short: The flagship short worked: made all-time lows ahead of the SpaceX IPO and is still down >50% from when flagged (closed ~$115, bounced ~$130). "Sell the news" hit the listed pre-IPO funds hardest; the September unlock remains the catalyst.

In plain English

VCX is a listed fund that holds stakes in hot private companies like SpaceX — a way for small investors to "touch" names they can't buy directly, which let it trade at a wild premium to the value of what it actually owns. Singh has been short it for a while.

The trade paid off: when SpaceX finally went public, the "I need it because I can't get it" premium evaporated ("sell the news"), and VCX made all-time lows — still down more than 50% from where he flagged it. The next catalyst is the September "unlock," when frozen shares become sellable and the artificial scarcity that propped it up disappears. It's his template: short the overpriced wrapper, not the asset.

In short: Flagship short: a listed pre-IPO fund that traded at $565 — 40× its ~$20 stated NAV. Shorted from ~$300 via options (now ~$150); re-shorted at ~7–11× his $30 adjusted NAV (which already credits SpaceX at $1.75T, Anthropic near $1T) ahead of the September IPO unlock.

In plain English

VCX is a listed fund holding stakes in hot private companies like SpaceX and OpenAI — a way for small investors to "own" the names they can't buy directly. The problem: the fund's shares traded at $565 when the assets inside were worth about $20 a share — investors were paying 40 times what the holdings were actually worth, purely to touch the SpaceX story.

Singh shorted it (via options) from around $300; it has been cut in half. He re-shorted recently: even crediting SpaceX at its full $1.75T IPO value and Anthropic near $1T, he gets a generous value of ~$30 a share against a ~$150 price. The catalyst is the September "unlock," when the 80–90% of shares currently frozen become sellable — the artificial scarcity that propped the price up disappears. It's his template trade: short the wrapper, not the asset.
