A 25-year-old built one of the greatest runs in hedge fund history, over 1,000% returns since inception, a fund that peaked near $45 billion. Then he got margin called and lost most of it in a month.

Megan King Diaz walks through four stories that look separate but are actually the same story wearing a different mask: the AI bubble debate in US equities, a currency crisis in Japan, wild swings in the South Korean stock market, and the hedge fund blowup that ties all three together. Same root cause. Same fragility. Different disguise.

You’ll learn:

Why blowout earnings from Palantir, AMD, and SpaceX still weren’t enough to stop stocks from selling off
Why Jamie Dimon and Michael Burry are both warning about “exuberance” in this market
Why the yen just hit a 40-year low, and why the US and Japan stepped in together
How South Korea’s entire economy became a leveraged bet on one theme: AI hardware
How a 25-year-old’s hedge fund went from a legendary run to a forced liquidation in weeks
Why concentrated, leveraged bets tend to unwind violently once they turn
Why gold and silver sit outside this entire story, no earnings call, no leverage, no narrative required
