Over the past few days, more questions have surfaced about Lehman Brothers and what their next earnings report will reveal. There have been suspicions that the profit that Lehman reported last quarter were generated from one time, unrealized gains. Now the drum beat is getting louder, with Greenlight Capital chief David Einhorn’s speech – critical of Lehman — at the well-attended-by-Wall-Street-elite Ira Sohn conference on Wednesday. There he outlined why he’s short Lehman Brothers. The WSJ’s ‘Heard on the Street’ column details Einhorn’s short thesis where he takes aim at Lehman and their well accessorized CFO, Erin Callan….

Sadly, we know who the big losers are in the Bear Stearns meltdown. Now the names of the winners who banked large as the firm’s stock crumbled are starting to emerge. So far, the usual suspects — Paulson & Co, Harbinger, Greenlight — are among them. No doubt the SEC will be looking at the list in their probe into the trading of the stock and the options as the shit was hitting the fan…..
Large hedge funds — including Harbinger
Capital Partners, Greenlight Capital, Tremblant Capital Group and Paulson &
Co. — made millions of dollars as Bear Stearns’s shares tumbled and various
bearish positions rose in value, according to securities filings and people
close to the firms.Harbinger Capital, the $19 billion
hedge-fund firm run by Philip Falcone, a former head of high-yield trading at
Barclays Capital, had a short position on Bear from the summer of 2007 until
Monday, according to a person familiar with the matter. The stock fell to $5
from $150 in that time period. In a short position, an investor borrows shares
and sells them, hoping to replace them at a later date at a lower price,
pocketing the difference in the shares as profit.Mr. Falcone, like John Paulson of Paulson
& Co., is a prime-brokerage client of Bear’s who remained a customer
throughout the securities firm’s tailspin. Harbinger didn’t trade in Bear
Stearns’s options, the person said. Mr. Paulson’s investments have been broader,
and not targeting Bear Stearns; it is unclear whether he holds Bear options…..Some analysts who follow the moves of short
sellers, or those who bet against stocks, say a big spike in short positions in
recent months suggests that some investors might have been privy to information
about the brokerage firm’s growing difficulties, or acted more quickly to wager
against Bear Stearns compared with other financial companies. The Securities and
Exchange Commission is investigating a spike in options contracts before the
collapse in Bear stock.

And now he gets to play in next month’s World Series of Poker in Las Vegas:
Peter Dougherty, 33, an accountant at
Chatham, New Jersey- based hedge-fund firm Appaloosa Management LP, took first
prize in the No Limit Texas Hold ‘Em competition Tuesday at the W Hotel in
Midtown. The event, which lasted until almost 1 a.m. yesterday, was the Big Deal
tournament benefiting Washington, D.C.-based Hillel: The Foundation for Jewish
Campus Life.Dougherty won a trip to next month’s World
Series of Poker in Las Vegas, where Einhorn also will compete after paying his
own way. Einhorn, 38, founder of Greenlight Capital LLC, placed 18th among more
than 8,700 contestants last year. He and Ackman, 41, founder of Pershing Square
Capital Management LP, didn’t make the top 10 at the Big Deal, and rankings for
all 180 players weren’t tabulated.

Barron’s took a look at the most watched and imitated hedge fund traders and came up with a list of whose coattails matter the most:
Based on discussions with many institutional investors, we’ve identified five well-regarded hedge funds whose investment moves are closely scrutinized. These leaders are Appaloosa Management, run by David Tepper; Greenlight Capital, managed by David Einhorn; Lone Pine Capital, run by Steve Mandel; ESL Investment Management, run by Ed Lampert, and Icahn Partners, managed by Carl Icahn.
In the past two weeks, institutional investors in search of investment ideas have been poring over the third-quarter holdings of these and other managers with strong stock-picking skills. Other closely watched hedge funds include Blue Ridge Capital, Atticus Capital, Perry Capital, Caxton Associates, Maverick Capital, Tontine Management, Highfields Capital and Alson Capital. In the mutual-fund industry, other managers watch Bill Miller of LeggMason; Southeastern Asset Management’s Staley Cates and Mason Hawkins, and Dodge & Cox, led by John Gunn

David Einhorn, the 37 year old president of New York City hedge fund Greenlight Capital ended his run with an 18th place finish in this year’s World Series of Poker. When we last left him, he was in second place. His winnings of $659,730 will all be donated to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research. He doesn’t know if he’ll play in other major tournaments because of the demands at his $3 billion fund, but said: "It wouldn’t surprise me to play in more poker tournaments in my life." Einhorn works with several charities and has a history of making big charity donations. He was the 2003 winner Warren Buffett’s first Ebay luncheon auction, where Einhorn’s $250,100 went to Buffett’s charity choice, The Glide Foundation.
