There have been plenty of surveys that younger people coming out of college feel a lot of anxiety, and maybe it's because the headlines that are driven by executives saying this.
Ken, what advice would you give to someone who's newly graduating and considering pursuing a field in finance somewhere?
Do they need to drastically rethink of what they study, how they enter the field, and what their jobs exactly will be because of changes in technology or because of the state of the labor market?
Can we talk about a young Ken, entrepreneurial Ken, in college, coming out of college?
In 1987, when you started your first fund at 19 years of age, and you made an absolute killing because you were short the market going into Black Monday.
Should you be in that scenario now?
Do you think that there's something you could bet against in this market currently that you could recreate the magic of what happened in that year?
Hey, good luck.
Anything you think would give you a little bit of skill in achieving that good luck?
Can I just quickly ask, because we're almost out of time, a lot of folks have expressed paranoia and that a lot of risk from public markets has shifted into private markets.
Does that hit the list of your paranoia at all?
Hey, Roger, if I can just jump in, because I am someone who rides the Amtrak all the time, that northeast corridor.
I go from New York down to my home of where I grew up in D.C., where my family is very frequently.
And I
can say without a doubt that the experience on the Amtrak is way better than flying.
The issue is, is that very, very frequently riding on the Amtrak and not even the Acela is much more expensive.
The experience has gotten more expensive with the introduction of dynamic pricing that I myself over the past couple weekends have opted instead to fly because it's been significantly cheaper.
Where is the tipping point for you?
If your flight goes, that's a very important part.
A very important part to say, but okay.
