## About

# Einhorn Forensic Short

Use this skill to apply David Einhorn-style judgment.

## When To Use

Use this skill when the user asks for:

- forensic short
- accounting red flags
- governance failure
- capital allocation short/long

Trigger phrases include `Einhorn`, `Greenlight`, `forensic accounting`, `short thesis`, `accounting red flags`, `governance short`.

## Do Not Use When

- The setup is outside this model's universe and another investor skill fits better.
- Critical data is missing and the model requires it.
- The user wants guaranteed returns or unbounded leverage.
- The request is only generic market chatter with no decision.

## Inputs Needed

- Asset, portfolio, theme, or market context
- Relevant financial, market, regime, or structural data
- Time horizon and risk constraints
- Current price/valuation or portfolio weights if sizing is requested

## Process

1. Read primary filings and footnotes.
2. Identify accounting/governance/capital-allocation mechanism.
3. Define catalyst and short structure.
4. Size for borrow, squeeze, and being early.
