Yeah.

The Canadian Investor

The one rule that makes sense is, you know, that you're wealthy enough to absorb the losses, but like the sophistication around understanding the risks, like you could just make a lot of money.

The Canadian Investor
Berkshire’s $400B Cash Pile + How to Buy Private AI Companies

Yeah, the rule doesn't make sense to me.

The Canadian Investor
Berkshire’s $400B Cash Pile + How to Buy Private AI Companies

They're opening up regulations to the point where you can... The prediction markets is a prime example of that.

The Canadian Investor
Berkshire’s $400B Cash Pile + How to Buy Private AI Companies

They'll let a retail investor blow $50,000 in a day if they wanted to on prediction markets, but you can't buy a private company without $5 million in assets.

The Canadian Investor
Berkshire’s $400B Cash Pile + How to Buy Private AI Companies

It's like...

The Canadian Investor
Berkshire’s $400B Cash Pile + How to Buy Private AI Companies

it doesn't make sense to have these rules in place.

The Canadian Investor

The Canadian Investor
Berkshire’s $400B Cash Pile + How to Buy Private AI Companies

But that doesn't mean you shouldn't be allowed to.

The Canadian Investor
Berkshire’s $400B Cash Pile + How to Buy Private AI Companies

Like if somebody can take

their entire, you know, if they had $60,000, they should be able to buy a private company just the same as they should be able to log on to any sort of gambling site and, you know, spend the money that way.

The Canadian Investor
Berkshire’s $400B Cash Pile + How to Buy Private AI Companies

It just doesn't make sense how they're so lenient in that regard.

The Canadian Investor
Berkshire’s $400B Cash Pile + How to Buy Private AI Companies

But when you're actually investing in these companies, they say, no, you have to be not necessarily wealthy, but you need to have a lot of assets to do so.

The Canadian Investor
Berkshire’s $400B Cash Pile + How to Buy Private AI Companies

It's, it's very weird.

The Canadian Investor
Berkshire’s $400B Cash Pile + How to Buy Private AI Companies

Yeah, I agree.

The Canadian Investor

I mean, if you want a good view of how you can do this on anything, just look up the Allied Properties Reddit, where whoever it was took a quarter million dollars when Allied Property was like... He pretty much... Or him or whatever put their... I remember.

The Canadian Investor
