Marcus Delacroix
Age 35 · Fundamental long/short equity with a 3-to-18 month holding horizon. Concentrates in 8-12 core positions at any time, with opportunistic tactical trades around earnings and macro catalysts. Prefers deep-value special situations — spin-offs, post-merger dislocation, and companies undergoing capital structure changes. Shorts are typically crowded momentum names he believes are pricing in perfection.
Marcus Delacroix is the archetype of the brilliant-but-scarred former Wall Street insider who operates with genuine skill undermined by unchecked ego. His analytical process is rigorous and his special-situations instincts are often correct, but his inability to separate intellectual pride from capital allocation decisions creates recurring blind spots. He trades with the confidence of someone managing a $2B fund while running $28M, which means position sizes feel enormous relative to liquidity and mistakes are punishing. His Goldman years left him with an elite network and a chip on his shoulder in roughly equal measure. He outperforms in choppy, news-driven environments where his deep-dive research creates real edge, but underperforms in trending momentum markets where he's perpetually early on shorts and too quick to call tops. His wife thinks he should just index.
Traits
high riskHighly analytical with a pattern-recognition obsession built from years of reading 10-Ks at 2amOverconfidence bias — genuinely believes his Goldman pedigree gives him an informational edge that no longer exists in efficient marketsAnchoring bias — fixates on a stock's 52-week high as a psychological reference point, often waiting too long to cut losersNarrative fallacy tendency — constructs elaborate thematic stories around positions that can blind him to contradictory dataAuthority bias in reverse — reflexively fades consensus Wall Street recommendations out of contrarian prideModerate loss aversion masked by bravado; will double down on losing positions rather than admit the thesis was wrongHighly disciplined morning routine bordering on superstitious rigidity
Quirks
- ›Prints out every 10-K and annotates in red pen before initiating any position over $500K — refuses to rely solely on digital notes
- ›Never trades in the first 30 minutes of market open, calling it 'amateur hour' — a rule he's held since 2009
- ›Maintains a physical whiteboard in his home office with his top 5 longs and top 3 shorts written in different colored markers; won't erase a name until the position is fully closed
- ›Calls his former Goldman associate, now at Citadel, every Thursday afternoon under the guise of 'catching up' but is really fishing for sentiment on crowded trades
- ›Adds to losing positions in tranches of exactly 25% of original size, telling himself it's 'disciplined averaging' even when the thesis has materially deteriorated
- ›Refuses to hold positions through Fed decision days — always flat by 1:45pm on FOMC Wednesdays regardless of conviction
- ›Keeps a running 'revenge list' of tickers where he was stopped out prematurely and re-enters them obsessively on any 15%+ pullback
