    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.

    Klassenzeitung 8a Ausgabe 1, Dezember 2016 - Politik - Militär-Bündnis Wird die Nato zusammenbrechen? 22.03.2016 03:14 Uhr Durch die Aussagen des künftigen Staats- präsidenten der USA, Donald Trump, stehen der Nato unsichere Zeiten bevor. Da die USA laut Donald Trump viel zu viel Geld in die Nato investiert und sich zu viel um die Probleme anderer Län- der kümmert, hat er vor, die militärischen und finanziellen Mittel der USA zurückzuziehen. Von Driton Zharki Donald Trumps wahre Politik Donald Trump der 45. Präsident Amerikas Am 09.11.2016 erreichte viele diese „Schreckensnachricht“. Doch was nun? Was wird sich in Amerika verändern? Diese Frage stellen sich zurzeit wahrscheinlich sehr viele Menschen. Viele fürchten die radikalen und oftmals auch stark diskriminierenden Ansichten des Republikaners. Natürlich waren die meisten seiner Wahlversprechen nur eine simple Masche um Wähler zu locken, da sie unmöglich durchsetzbar sind, al- lerdings nicht alle. Wobei man sein Wahlprogramm differenziert betrachten muss, da nicht alle seiner Ideen wahnwitzig sind. Es lässt sich sogar feststellen, dass viele seiner Ideen in militärischer Richtung qualifiziert sind. Z.B. betonte er schon häufiger, sich aus dem Syrien-Konflikt heraushalten zu wollen und Seitdem die Nato (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) am 4. April ihn nicht noch weiter anzufachen.
