And now that's spilling over to the banks.
Like look at the financials this year.
The financials are underperforming the S&P by the most since almost Lehman.
It's right.
Well, now when you say that, you're 100% right around.
Like if you look at a normal company will have private credit sitting above private equity.
The good news for private equity is there is a good chunk of it that is not levered.
There's some chunk of it.
This is where somebody has to do the math.
So in other words-
Let's just say you have a trillion dollars of private equity.
I'd say at least 40% of that, those companies are pretty levered, maybe 60%.
There'll be some slug of that that's not really levered.
So yeah, on the 60% of that just trillion dollar slice, 65%, yeah, there's private credits above and it's just going to cram down the value of private equity.
And that's why you're seeing KKR, Blackstone,
All these companies are down.
40, 50, 60% on the, on the threat equity side.

I sat down with David Tepper, Einhorn, Hall of Famer, David, Greenlight Capital.
But I was in Omaha with Charlie Munger.
