1/🧵The big banking question these days: “is private credit a systemic risk” with some comparing it to subprime crisis.
How deep in it are banks ? Data is very hard to find but luckily the Financial Stability Board just dropped its report on private credit. 9 charts that matter

2/ How big is private credit? That’s the fascinating question and the FSB is right to say we don’t know bc there’s no definition.
Estimates range from ~$1.5tn to $50tn depending on what you count.
So pick a number, any number.

3/ More importantly the chart we've been waiting YEARS for: how much do banks actually lend to private credit funds, globally? Answer: <0.3% of bank assets even in the UK (the "leader"). Every shadow-banking-contagion thinkpiece should reflect on this.
A thread of satisfying korean/k gp comments

1/ It's not just this Saturday's Victory Day parade that's been cancelled or cut back in Moscow; so too has the city's annual cleanup, for the first time in over a hundred years. The city will have to remain dirty for another year. ⬇️
2/ Cleanup days, or subbotniks, originated in the spring of 1919 under Lenin's rule. They started as voluntary events mainly for communists (Komsomol members) and sympathisers. In later years, they became a familiar, characteristic feature of the "socialist way of life."
3/ Party ideologists viewed subbotniks as a means of "communist education of the masses". Participation in subbotniks became a measure of an individual's social activity, and the few who shied away could be subject to public censure or even administrative action.

I never really paid much attention to middle east conflict; it's endless and they are always killing each other for some reason or imagined slight or whatever.

I would have been a teenager at the time, but do actually remember when every 2-3 days there would be yet another news report of some nutter blowing themselves up on a bus in Tel Aviv, or blowing themselves up in a market.

$GME shareholders can deploy asymmetric "financial guerrilla tactics" to amplify the $EBAY acquisition campaign by targeting pressure points like share price stability, institutional persuasion, and EBAY's long-tail owners. These low-capital actions leverage the community's scale
Compile/share contact lists for top EBAY holders overlapping GME ownership (e.g., BlackRock 8.65% EBAY/7.79% GME, Vanguard, State St—~37.5% bloc per Reddit analysis), urging emails/calls for proxy support on synergies like $2B cost savings and collectibles integration.
Top overlapping institutional holders of $EBAY and $GME — collectively controlling ~47% of EBAY based on recent analyses—provide a prime target for coordinated outreach in support of GME's acquisition.
That's my niece on the right. As much as I am, she too follows the bloodline of #SyamaPrasadMookerjee. Her husband (Retd) Major Ritwick Paul's only mistake was to stand for election against Kalyan Banerjee in 2021. Do you remember how cold it was in December? He spent 15 days 1/2
2/3 nights are Serampore prison. Anyone else wouldve come out broken but he didn't. His political career was destroyed because he wanted to fight for honesty & righteousness. It was Twitter those days. I tweeted. My handle got banned. Everyone was sacred to tweet but @subhsays
@subhsays 3/3 stood his ground. TMC hounded Subham, threatened him, sent him notices. He never barged. Just a stark reminder to everyone that we've come a long way & @SuvenduWB was always stood by his team.

I found a small online skincare brand on Instagram. Lovely products. Engaged audience.
But their emails was quite Terrible.
No welcome sequence. No follow-up. Nothing.
I wrote them a full 3-email welcome sequence. Unsolicited. Unpaid. Just sent it.

Some years ago, when he was Israeli Finance Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu suggested that ending the US-Israel aid program should be considered. At the time, it constituted 8% of the Israeli economy, and reducing or eliminating it would have been quite a sacrifice,

but some considered the agreement to be a weight on Israel’s economy, depressing growth and business opportunities elsewhere, and that any such agreement was economically unhealthy.

There’s little surprise that Governor Rajendra Arlekar’s delay in inviting Vijay, as the leader of the single largest party, to form the government is facing criticism. However, such criticism shouldn’t be facile. Let us examine the logic behind his position. A long thread. 1/n
There’s no doubt that in the absence of a pre-poll alliance with the requisite majority, the Governor has to invite the single largest party. However, this convention need not be used to install a government in haste. 2/n
The Constitution is silent as to how the Governor’s discretion in government formation is to be exercised in the event of a hung Assembly. However, conventions have a say. 3/n
