WALL STREET CAREER
Danny Moses is a veteran investor and advisor best known for playing a central role in what has been called one of the greatest trades in Wall Street history.
As the former Head Trader at FrontPoint Partners under Steve Eisman, Moses gained public recognition through The Big Short (book and film), which chronicled how he and his colleagues correctly identified and profited from the housing market collapse leading up to the 2008 financial crisis.
Over the course of his Wall Street career, he has held diverse roles including municipal bond analyst, institutional equities broker and trader, and hedge fund manager.
He began his career in 1991 as a municipal bond analyst at MBIA before moving on to serve as an institutional broker at firms such as Oppenheimer.
MARKET CALLS
Today, Moses is widely regarded as a sharp market commentator, frequently warning about macroeconomic risks, including signs of a potential U.S. recession, equity overvaluation, and distortions in market liquidity.
He has been especially outspoken about speculative “meme stocks” and other high-risk areas of the market.
Among his more notable positions, Moses has taken a bearish stance on Tesla, arguing that the company’s valuation is driven more by future promises—such as autonomy and robotaxi development—than by current fundamentals.
