I feel like the matter of who dfv is is really the interesting and missing piece. Missing bc people either dont care to explore it or assume they already know, from received information. He isn’t a pumper or traderoom seller like many ppl on twitter seem to take him to be. He wasnt really even a redditor. He was already proven in investing, doing 40%cagr for multiple years before covid. He bought the bottom of 2020 with both hands and had several multibaggers by mid year. He was an investor mid-longterm, he didn’t go in and out of positions. Just watching his testimony and a few of his videos, the picture that emerges is a strong character, who is respectful and following in the tradition of investing while being open to new directions, who would not easily betray what he is. Imo (my opinion with many caveats) it feels like there is a reason, even a moral reason. His entire personality is someone who is inducdd to act out of a principle, who acts for the value of the gesture rather than the end result—which no doubt has something to do with his success as an investor. He is able to feel justified by the value of what he is about rather thsn its reception and outcome. While I can only speculste as to his intent, there is maybe something protestlike, rebellious about this gesture. Wrt having a backer, I find it not only possible but probable that he had gone from 20-30m to 200 acting alone. Gme has gone from 10-60 within weeks. 2022-23 had many opportunities for multibaggers. A backer seems less likely than him simply being as good at trading and as savvy as he has already demonstrated himself to be
