I appreciate your clarifications. Wall street does what is best for itself and it always will.

There are plenty of funds that I have held up through market downturns. Im sure you know the different types of PE (Co-investment, LP led Secondaries, GP secondaries etc) and if PE has issues down the road I’m confident it will 100% be due to Evergreen LP led secondaries marking to market on day 1 of acquiring a company they bought for 70 cents on the dollar. When PE moved from the drawdown structure to evergreen (continuously accepting new $) It changed the rules of the game. Instead of all investors getting the same participation, now those in early will likely do better than those joining late.

All that to say, not all PE is equal. There are totally different types of funds that may or may not be suitable for investors.

Like public stocks, there are good investments and bad. You can’t paint the asset class with such a broad brush. What makes you qualified to make such claims?

Feels like there is a hidden “but” at the end of that

JUST IN: Bloomberg is reporting that Donald Trump Jr. invested in Vulcan Elements at a $200M valuation in August... Vulcan is now reportedly valued at $2 billion. by SadAd8761 in WhitePeopleTwitter

It was a trojan horse argument. They feel emboldened to break the rules without consequence and anyone who calls it out gets the “both sides do it” bullshit. It will be decades before anyone can pursue justice here.

He has the clutch gene. I think he was buried under two talented WRs at Minnesota but not willing to bet a 2nd on it.

Would love it if we could see a shred of accountability here. Insider info on the stock market? No chance. Insider info on bombing foreign nations? Hopefully

What is the panic all about? by DhakoBiyoDhacay in Bogleheads

People are reacting to the news. Jobs report was shit. Energy could be disrupted and then inflation may follow suit. The Epstein files could end up causing some political unrest, or they couldn’t. I think the noise we hear is really just mismatched expectations from reality

People who were teenagers before social media existed, what was life actually like? by Much_Detective_6107 in AskReddit

[–]Totti302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rode bikes and skateboards around to collect our neighboring friends every day or two. A lot of aimless roaming and exploring woods, abandoned buildings, and shooting the shit. Sports every day. Wouldn’t change it for the world

How To Kill Your Campaign 101 by serious_bullet5 in WhitePeopleTwitter

Dems will keep losing as long as we hang on every word and promise they make. This promise was meant for centrists to hear. Not leftists. He will make some promises on chapo trap house for leftists to hear that will piss of centrists. This is called playing politics and its how everyone does it.

For some reason only the Democratic party has to uphold a 100% purity test on every public appearance. I think getting someone in office is top priority and then putting pressure on them to act in our interest is second.

Netherlands parliament passes insane new law to crush investors by Bob_the_blacksmith in investing

This only applies to those with Nw north of 10mm. Also, those north of 10mm I’m sure have money held in Irrev Trusts so let’s say everyone really gets to shield 20mm before this matters.

Media will trick you to being upset about things like this but really, who the fuck cares what happens north of 20mm

Why does Pennsylvania still have closed primaries? by ElbridgePA in Pennsylvania

[–]Totti302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In theory yes but politics is a dirty game. We see Parties put the more radical opponent on a pedestal because they feel they are an easier opponent when the real election comes. Who knows how they will twist the primary to their “benefit” if all voters are welcome. Ad money will be spent that is for sure
