Chris Cole, Founder and CIO of Artemis Capital, has often been mentioned on this site ("Beware the false calm", "It's Not The Everything Bubble, It's The Global Short Volatility Bubble", "The Coming Crash Will Be Like 1987...But Worse", "This Is Just An Appetizer" )
His insights and experience in volatility markets have frequently brought a breath of fresh air (and realism) to a narrative of 'everything is awesome' that generally consists of so-called professionals who have lived their trading lives in a "first, put on pants; second, sell vol; third, make money"-world...
That is until last week.
As Cole's fund, Artemis, weathered the stormy market very well, The Guardian contacted him - presumably as someone smart to see this debacle coming and profiting from it. The story did not quite come out that way...

Realist - Everybody in America is soft, and hates conflict. The cure for this, both in politics and social life, is the same -- hardihood. Give them raw truth.
