After initially posting astrong reboundof 22% in February, Plotkin has lost momentum in recent months.\nSome hedge fund observers question whether Plotkin -- who has changed the way he makes short bets in the wake of the fiasco -- can still produce blockbuster returns without taking aggressive positions against companies. In Melvin’s first year of trading, 70% of the fund’s profits came from his bearish wagers.\nRead more:RedditCrowd Bludgeons Melvin Capital in Warning to Industry\n“I don’t think investors like myself want to be susceptible to these type of dynamics,” Plotkin testified during a House Financial Services Committeehearing, referring to the astronomical level of short interest in GameStop stock that preceded the volatility.\nSponsored ContentIntelligent Automation Can Add Value Throughout OrganizationsBusiness Reporter\nBloomberg has reported that his firm, which managed $11 billion as of June 1, is also taking smaller-sized positions to limit exposure to single companies. Plotkin also told his team of data scientists to scour social media and message boards to look for shares that retail investors are rallying around.\nA spokesman for the firm declined to
