    Stanphyl Capital Management LLC Stanphyl Capital GP, LLC Stanphyl Capital Partners LP Friends and Fellow Investors: For June 2018 the fund was down approximately 13.8% (no that is not a misprint- please see the paragraph below) net of all fees and expenses. By way of comparison, the S&P 500 was up approximately 0.6% while the Russell 2000 was up approximately 0.7%. Year-to-date the fund is down approximately 16.2% while the S&P 500 is up approximately 2.6% and the Russell 2000 is up approximately 7.7%. Since inception on June 1, 2011 the fund is up approximately 67.4% net while the S&P 500 is up approximately 134.7% and the Russell 2000 is up approximately 113.7%. Since inception the fund has compounded at approximately 7.6% net annually vs 12.8% for the S&P 500 and 11.3% for the Russell 2000. (The S&P and Russell performances are based on their “Total Returns” indices which include reinvested dividends.) As always, investors will receive the fund’s exact performance figures from its outside administrator within a week or two; meanwhile I continue to waive the annual management fee until the entire fund regains its high- water mark. The fund was absolutely massacred this month, and it was primarily due to our large short position in Tesla, to which I added on each new piece of negative news, much of which was indicative of the kind of outright fraud (see below) that would immediately send a “normal stock” into a death spiral, and yet for most of the month Tesla’s stock kept levitating.
