good psa: venture-splaining the CDS market is not helpful
I’ll say this again really loudly for the noobs who aren’t familiar with these markets NEOCLOUD CDS ARE NOT A REFLECTION OF CONSENSUS DEFAULT RISK AND INCORPORATE A WIDE ARRAY OF MARKET CONSTITUENTS HEDGING THEIR TAIL RISK ACROSS THE CAPITAL STRUCTURE INTO FAIRLY ILLIQUID POOLS If Chamath says “sharps” one more time on this all-in episode I’m going to crash out. Thanks for coming to my TED talk 🫡

OK who tricked bloomerg's reporter into thinking a bond was "stressed" just bc it was trading below 90 cents? Check the 'risk-free' 1.25% US Treasury due 2050. Trades at 44 cents. All of you, do better. lol
