His buddies already sold stocks so the crash can happen while the markets are closed for Easter and they can buy the dip Monday before he says he pulling out in 3 days again. I see no approaching reason why this will ever end.
Wellz the more he does it, the more he's burning allies and the more gas prices suffer, which is what destroys American politicians more than any other silly little crimes like rape, paedophilia or genocide.
If he plays too hard and loose, people might get angry enough that they face consequences. So far no indication of that happening.
Most of the large ai companies are still privately held by the wealthy. If he pops the bubble before they have a chance to leave retail investors holding the bag, then he might face consequences.
Corporate lending has already been moved to small investors and retirees. Since that is harder to liquidate and play with like stocks.
The little guys are already holding the bag.
Sorry, do you mean small investors are lending to companies? Through financial products? That are highly exposed to ai?Or any bubbble? I don’t know that I’ve seen this reported. What are you referring to?
Private credit has been increasingly moving from something only hedge funds invested in, to retail investors and retirement funds. Like $3 trillion dollars worth. And it’s withdrawals are restricted by the banks, often to like 25% per year I think.
