Basically a huge portion of really rich finance bros are going to need to get real jobs soon.
And loans/investments for start ups and midmarket are going to crater.
And all of this should be easily expected since there are so many billion dollar AI startups don't have revenue yet...or a product yet...or an idea of market demand for an eventual product yet...
This along with bleeding by mid market firms across multiple sectors due to tariffs and rising costs.
And there are a ton of smaller AI companies not in the billion dollar space that will also go.
A lot of the investor companies are hugely overleveraged.
A lot more of the investors at these investor companies are even more overleveraged with loans to invest in the first place. And many of those loans are secured with their existing assets like stock.
So a small shock ends up causing a run on the investment companies and investors get a forced sale/margin call due to being overleveraged which ends up dropping stock prices and cascading down to take out more investment companies and investors.
This was the funniest thing ever.
