thanks to the scholarship of my friend michael newton who is also speaking today at another location, michael is a scholar of alexander hamilton and has written not one but two books on hamilton. hamilton the formative years and discovering hamilton, and what michael has been able to demonstrate with primary source evidence is that 9/so of the artillery were not at the battle of white plains, so there's a nine out of step chance then that hamilton was not there, and furthermore, neither henry knox, his commander nor george washington who mentioned hamilton or his unit by name, okay? now this we do know for sure. hamilton first full-fledged compart. he's not just shooting at two ships in the risk you know, and a can no explodes near him later. this is full combat now, and as the grandson of an artillery officer at gauda canal. my grandfather was a career marine, i can appreciate how traumatic this must have been. he was at rutgers. this is brunswick, new jersey, the queens college campus. wasn't known at rutgers just like columbia was formerly known as king's college. my charming wife

michael newton and other scholars were able to prove alexander was not born in '55. he was born in '57. think of where you were at 20. were you helping washington as his chief of staff. could you have risen in battles as many times as he could. most of them are in their early 30s. note on the screen, 19th aide-de-camp already. there was a lot of turnover. there's a wonderful book by a local author named arthur lefkowitz about washington's 32 aids to camp. hamilton serves as aide to washington from 1777 to april of '81. that's four years. quite a stretch, a very colorful stretch filled with frustrations and all kinds of peaks and valleys so washington at that point has headquarters set up not far from here at jacob arnold's tavern on the green. not the famous tavern on the green. there's a sign there for it as you probably know if you've been there and unfortunately the arnold's tavern burnt down in 1918. a fire. washington typically had five aides and/or secretaries. secretaries were probably doing most of the writing side of things. aides were also doing writing, bu

the thanks my friend michael newton who is also speaking today at another location, michael is a scholar of alexander hamilton and has written not one but two books on hamilton. hamilton the formative years, and discovering hamilton. and what he was able to find with evidence, is that nine tenths of the artillery were not at the battle of white tank of white plains. so there was a good chance hamilton was not there. but neither henry knox or george washington mentioned hamilton or his unit by name. now this we do know for sure. this hamilton his first full fledged combat, it's not just shooting near the river and a cannon explodes this is full combat now. as the grandson of a artillery officer, my grandfather was not position i can appreciate how difficult this mother must of been. and he was at queens college campus. the like did you know that colombia was formally known as kings college. and that's where hamilton would've graduated from the if or not bra broken out. it was during one of the reunions that i saw this beautiful plaque here that says on the campus from the class of 1899, e

welcome, everybody it's good to have you here let's start with the spat between kathy wood and michael burry. he may not be the only one short interest in ark hit a record 24 million shares, and via put options, that was worth about $30 million at the end of last quarter it's unclear if the position is profitable or whether he still holds it ark shares are down this year. peak to trough they've fallen more than that it could have been well timed. we don't know for sure yet >> it's after the fact we know it's not just michael burry. there's a bunch of other companies like moore capital management, golden tree asset. the list goes on they're all taking these bearish positions against ark, not necessarily against kathy wood they're arguing it's against the fundamentals, all the companies in her basket are too overvalued a lot of people have shorted tesla. the big concern too to compare the chart just to the s&p 500 year-to-date, ark isn't doing so well the s&p 500 is up 18%, something like that. so, that's a concern but i'll end with this if you guys read the big short, michael burry in t
