Since launching Hedgeye, I’ve been blacklisted by virtually every major financial media outlet.
Why? Because we expose the conflicts that run rampant through the industry. When our team makes a call—whether it’s a bullish stance on a market trend or a short position on a fraudulent company—we do it based on our own research, not because we’re getting paid by investment banks.
One of our early battles with Wall Street’s old guard came in 2013 when our analyst Kevin Kaiser exposed accounting issues at Linn Energy (LINE). The stock was trading near $40, and Kaiser’s work suggested it was worth closer to $15. The response from the establishment was swift and brutal. Jim Cramer, who had been pumping the stock on CNBC, called our work “unscrupulous.” Billionaire hedge fund manager Leon Cooperman accused Kaiser of “distorting” the truth.
Fast forward to 2016, and Linn Energy declared bankruptcy. Our research was right. The stock went to zero.
The establishment media won’t tell these stories, but the track record of Hedgeye’s independent research speaks for itself.
I’ve spent the last 17 years building Hedgeye alongside my teammates.

At Hedgeye, we seek the truth. We expose the lies—whether they come from the Fed, a CEO, or the next fraudster like Sam Bankman-Fried. And when we uncover the truth, there’s a big pot of money waiting for those who act on it.
This is my life’s work. Join us.
