@JeffWeniger The private equity model works best with cheap debt. Now that rates are higher it is harder to make the buyout math work. So, not necessarily reflective of the broader stock universe since most big companies are not so reliant on cheap debt for the business model to work.

The X algorithm seems compelled to try and make me outraged about what B-list celebrities think about political issues. Is there any way to make the algorithm understand that I don't care?
