    Wall Street Banks Prepare to Sell Billions of Dollars of X Loans
    Banks are hoping to sell the X debt at around 90 to 95 cents on the
    dollar

    Banks are getting ready to sell billions of dollars in debt borrowed
    by Elon Musk's X, bringing Wall Street a step closer to exiting the nerve-racking deal that financed the social-media company's buyout.

    Apparently, Musk can't point his finger at himself....

    Just waiting for the market to crash, again.

    This will happen! The question is only _when_? Find that out and profit greatly!

    As for me, I quit trying to time the markets many decades ago, and I
    follow along through downs and ups.

    I think the current market will continue for at least another 1-2 years or
    so, since interest rates are going down, and Trump will do anything he can
    to breathe life and keep the markets happy. He might be able to virtually extend the markets life with 3-4 years perhaps.

    The other question is that an AI crash will happen, since the models are
    not improving that much anymore and no AI company is making money. The
    question there is, will they pull down everything non-IT related, or will
    it be contained to the AI space? After all, a lot of the AI guys are non-listed, so that will have some mitigating effects. On the other hand, FAANGs are all into AI and will be pulled down, and they will pull down
    the general market as well.

    My bet is at least 2 more good years, and then it might become a bit
    shaky.

    Who will buy the debt?

    I believe the tangible assets amount to a hill of beans, so only
    misinformed investors, aka suckers/losers.

    BlueSky is gaining traction, and X (Musk) is being rejected more by
    the public, and is under investigation by EU.

    Any informed person should see X currently as a losing investment.

    This is the truth! Surprisingly we are in perfect agreement on this point. These situations always scare me! =/ What does it mean the JAB and D
    agree?
