"What is the short interest in Blue Owl telling you? All-time high... We don't believe the marks... Oracle, 100 billion dollars investment grade debt. CDS is trading at 2008 levels." Hedge funds are aggressively shorting private credit lenders (like Blue Owl) and legacy tech companies financing the AI infrastructure build-out. If the AI compute rental model (e.g., CoreWeave) fails to generate enough cash to outrun its debt service, the underlying collateral marks will collapse, triggering a systemic credit event. SHORT. The extreme short interest and elevated Credit Default Swap (CDS) levels indicate smart money is positioning for a structural break in private credit and AI-leveraged debt. If AI compute demand remains robust and borrowers easily service their debt, these heavily shorted names could experience violent short squeezes.
