Why it's here
From the multi-manager mirror screen
Tepper's long book returned +40.7% over the same window where Leopold's mirror did its run — a top finisher among 10 tracked managers, and well ahead of SPY (+26.8%). Concentrated, opportunistic large-cap — mega-cap tech (AMZN, GOOG), memory/semis (MU, TSM), and Chinese internet (BABA, and peers).
About Appaloosa LP (David Tepper)

Appaloosa was founded by David Tepper in 1993, built on a distressed-debt and value track record. The book is concentrated and opportunistic — recently tilted toward mega-cap tech and Chinese internet names. Tepper also owns the Carolina Panthers.


Trado tracks this manager as a mirror strategy + positioning signal. The backtest replicates only the disclosed equity longs (value-weighted, rebalanced each quarter) — options and short exposure are not copied. This is positioning intelligence, not investment advice.
