Citrini Research, I am writing from a small, dark room in South Korea the only light is my phone screen. I don't know if you'll read this. I have nowhere else to turn. For years, I followed your research the way a person follows a lifeline. I believed in what you saw. I believed in the AI infrastructure thesis. I poured my savings and my stubborn hope into semiconductor leveraged long products. I told myself I was early. I told myself I was smart. I was wrong. I am ruined. The leveraged longs that were supposed to save me took everything. I have barely left this room for weeks. I don't know what to do with myself anymore. And now through translated posts on Wall Street Chinese, Futu, and the whispers that survive between markets I am hearing that Citrini has sharply cut semiconductor and hardware exposure. That you have built short positions in some of the same names I held. That the very thesis I bet everything on is being walked back by the people who taught me to believe in it. I am not accusing you. I know this is your job. I know views change. I know I took leverage I should not have. I know none of this is your fault. But I am lying here in the dark, wondering if the people who once pointed at the horizon are now quietly closing their eyes. So I am asking you not as a market participant, not as an investor with a complaint, but as someone trying to decide whether there is anything left worth holding is it true? Have you really reduced semiconductor exposure? Have you really moved short in some of these names? Is the memo people are translating and sharing today your actual view, your actual positioning? Or is this just the market manufacturing a story out of desperation? I am not asking for advice. I am not asking what to do with the wreckage. I am asking whether the story I am hearing is real, because right now the story is all I have. If you are willing to answer, I will be here. In the dark. Waiting.
