Wolfpack Research Posts On X "We are short $MCY because we found how many home and landlord polices $MCY had in the zip codes hit by the CA wildfires as of June 2024 due to an obscure 4,000-page rate filing. For example: $MCY insured 385 homes and 31 landlord policies in Pacific Palisades (90272). We estimate $MCY's gross losses from the LA fires will exceed $2b, far more than their $1.3bn in reinsurance."
