I jokingly wrote on my Twitter Bio that I’m the “Founder and CIO of a $1 Trillion Hedge FUN”. Someone took it seriously and argued that it’s impossible that I’m running a $1 trillion FUND unless I was the guy running Norges, the Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund. I guess the joke flew past him!

High Quality Joke flew past you Blank Meme Template

In any case, this next trade is big and liquid enough even for Norges, since this is an actual $1 trillion long / short trade … and, for once, this isn’t clickbait!
