Senior🎓
Top SchoolLincoln Samelson is a principal investor and operator with 11 years of experience building contrarian, commodity-focused investment strategies and real estate development ventures from Denver. He leads Contrarian Investors and Contrarian Holdings, blending deep derivatives and futures trading expertise with hands-on large parcel and mixed-use development rooted in a five-generation construction legacy. Comfortable with market volatility, he seeks asymmetric, long-term opportunities where prices trade below marginal cost and sentiment is extreme, and he communicates a disciplined, non-correlated approach to co-investors. Prior roles span portfolio management of interest rate, commodity, FX and equity futures and technical systems administration early in his career, reflecting a rare mix of quantitative trading acumen and operational tech background. Based in Colorado, he also oversees regional commercial development through The Fifth Generation, pairing financial patience with practical development experience.
