We usually do a monthly analysis of David Einhorn’s returns (see June here), but since there is little news, Greenlight RE will be holding a conference call in a few days, and Greenlight just released their Q2 letter to investors we will just list returns below as well as top holdings.
We assume the negative returns are due to MU and MRVL suffering declines of approximately 9 and 10% respectively in July..
UPDATE: 11:35 PM EST: Dan Loeb also had a disappointing July, below are the latest numbers:
