Crisis is when the real buyers show up. Price discovery with a pulse.

You’re so bandwagon and unhelpful it’s actually insane.

I've sat across that table enough times that the line still makes my stomach drop — crisis or not, the price walk-down always shows up dressed as "help."

Never let a good crisis go to waste on the first offer.

Wow @chamath that’s absolutely beast mode of you. Billionaire celebrating his successful FUD campaign. You do realize your words cause real pain for smaller investors right? Big fan of the pod but I’ve lost a lot of respect for you this past month

Actually not really. They just want the deal done. They don't care about the actual fairness of value - they just want the success fee.

the math, for the owner: entry 100. crisis bid 60. recovery to 100 in three years. waiting costs three years of earnings, about 30 at a 10 percent yield. selling at 60 locks in a loss of 40. the walk-down pays the buyer only when the seller is short on time.

Especially on IPOs. A crash lets them price it low and their best clients get allocated shares at a discount

Same banker line shows up every AI dip. The customers signing rack contracts aren't walking anything down.

Walk it on down

Walk is an understatement

Losing credibility. Richer than I’ll likely ever be but never say never.
