BLK

I laughed my ass off when it happened to NOK Corporation (7240.T) during the GME/AMC/BBBY/NOK meme run up in early 2021. Guess retards just clicked buy or whatever because the market went down but NOK corp when up. I did a small NOK in and out but mainly spent it buying the BLK dip.

I use my phone and I buy what’s undervalued and I hold onto it. I made 20% on BLK and I made 20% on SPY and I’m still just holding onto them.

Same here, I jumped in on BLK @ $925. It was completely irrational move on "private credit" panic. People just did not look at the assets under management. It is just a trade for me.

Why is BLK down?

ricktitball2

Bro you’re a few weeks late tot his party. Along with Iran this was the sell side narrative for the past few weeks. But then, just yesterday, JPOW said there is no broader contagion concerns stemming from private credit. So…. He’s usually right, and if he isn’t he can very easily fix it. Give it another week and it will be a great time to buy. An especially great time to buy BX and BLK, and OWL

Personal_Repair_3579

Interesting take but I think people are conflating the macro risk with BLK's structural story. Revenue up 19% last year, net income down 13% - that gap is mostly GIP integration costs but it's a real margin squeeze regardless. And they're returning more to shareholders than they actually generate in free cash flow, which isn't a forever move. The stickiness of AUM is real though. Clients don't just pull $11T overnight. Capital efficiency ranks top quartile vs asset management peers, balance sheet is conservative. It's not fragile. The thing I'd actually watch isn't oil or Iran - it's whether slowing flows expose that profitability has been quietly trading down for growth for a while now. Margins are below most peers, comp costs are high. That's the structural story sitting underneath the macro noise. Not calling it a sell. Just saying the "fire sale" framing assumes all the risk is temporary and external. Some of it isn't.

zxc123zxc123

People confuse the two but I laugh at the folks who think BlackRock is in the trouble. Folks always think BLK is in trouble every time ANYTHING happens because BLK has some sort of "exposure" to everything. But they seem to always ignore it's rarely BLK's own money and how they are just the middleman and custodian rather than the investor themselves. Folks were saying BLK was losing trillions during the pandemic dip, then they said BLK was helping the hedge funds short [retail gaming company that can't be mentioned] when BLK was one of the largest shareholders of the company due to it's ETFs, then again during rate hikes followed by the stock dip, the FTX/crypto blowup, the SVB banking crisis blowup, the Japanese yen carry trade reversal, and now with PE. I just buy during those times and make money.

BlackRock (BLK) CEO Larry Fink warned on Monday that while most wealth has gone to asset owners, AI could worsen wealth inequality unless more people share in market growth. “The old model of global capitalism is fracturing,” wrote Fink in the asset management giant's annual chairman letter to investors. He highlighted that while countries are spending enormous sums to become self-reliant in energy, defense, and technology, "the vast majority of wealth has flowed to people who owned assets, not to people who earned most of their money by working." "Now AI threatens to repeat that pattern at an even larger scale — concentrating wealth among the companies and investors positioned to capture it," he added. “This is where much of today’s economic anxiety comes from: a deeper feeling that capitalism is working — just not for enough people.” Wen riots asking for a friend? 🤔🤔🤔

Sufficient_Winner686

I’m certainly not lol. Trump is an elderly and temporary problem. He is also ensuring his voters will never have any financial power. I am just DCA-ing throughout this whole ordeal and holding what I have. I hold 33% in BLK, about 50% in SPY, about $10k in TTWO, and around $10k and rapidly growing in VTI. Bonus rolls in on the 31st and that’ll all go into VTI. There is an old adage in investing, you buy calls or sell stocks during Democratic administrations while prices are higher and you buy puts or buy stock during Republican administrations when the stock price is suppressed by subpar economic ideas. This has worked since Reagan introduced supply side economics.

Software has sucked big time. Financials too, especially the private equity companies like KKR, APO, ARES, BLK, BX. Man they look like buys at 40% or the like down YTD and they pay dividends if I could just go against my instinct that these company stocks are falling knives.

BX/Blackstone below i's 50 week moving average for the first time basically ever. Bounced off it at the end of the 2022 crash. Either we're in a 2008, or this is a sign of a massive buying opportunity. I think sentiment is too bearish. People heard about BLK writing down a 25M loan out of nowhere and are spooked. Makes sense. But now it's getting priced in. Everyone think that is a sign their entire portfolios are garbage, but we've been getting stories like this for years, and the media usually didn't care about them or called them bear porn

There have been decent rolling corrections for years. Currently, HD is down 11% and hitting a point it usually bounces from. BX is down 35% from it's Jan high. BLK is now in a crash. AXP is in a crash and MA and V are down 13%

The recent moves by BlackRock (early March 2026) and now Morgan Stanley (March 11, 2026) to impose or tighten redemption limits on flagship private credit funds highlight growing liquidity stress in the $1.8–2 trillion private credit sector. This isn't isolated—it's part of a broader wave of investor anxiety, redemption surges, and structural mismatches in semi-liquid/open-ended private credit vehicles (e.g., non-traded BDCs and evergreen funds).BlackRock (HPS Corporate Lending Fund / HLEND) * What happened: Investors requested 9.3% redemptions ($1.2B) in Q1 2026; BlackRock enforced the standard 5% quarterly cap, paying out only \~$620M (per fund letter and Reuters/Bloomberg reports). * Why: First time HLEND (acquired via 2024 HPS deal) has gated since inception. Reflects broader unease over lending standards, software/AI exposure risks, and illiquidity in private credit. * Market reaction: BLK shares fell \~7–8% on the news (late morning March 6), contributing to a weak start for 2026 among alt managers. Morgan Stanley (North Haven Private Income Fund or similar) * What happened: Investors sought to redeem \~11% of shares outstanding; MS restricted redemptions (likely to 5% or similar cap), returning far less than requested (filing showed partial payouts). * Why: Echoes the same redemption pressure seen at BlackRock, Blackstone (BCRED raised cap to 7% after 7.9% requests + internal cash injection), Blue Owl (halted some redemptions), and others. * Context: MS private credit funds (part of MSIM's alternatives platform) face the same illiquidity mismatch: quarterly liquidity promises vs. long-duration, hard-to-sell loans. Broader Implications & Analysis * Structural problem: Private credit funds (especially retail-accessible BDCs) offer periodic redemptions (often 5% quarterly) to attract wealth investors, but underlying assets are illiquid. When requests exceed caps, managers gate to avoid forced sales at discounts → protects remaining investors but erodes confidence. * Why now?: * Rising defaults/restructurings (PIK interest, software sector stress from AI disruption). * Geopolitical/macro fears (Iran war → oil spikes → inflation/stagflation → Fed paralysis → higher borrowing costs). * Retail/wealth outflows: Wealth platforms pulled back after high-profile issues (e.g., First Brands/Tricolor bankruptcies). * Sector contagion risk: Gates at big names (BlackRock, MS) can trigger more redemptions elsewhere (fear of missing liquidity window). Could pressure asset prices, widen spreads, and slow new commitments. * Critical minerals tie-in: Private credit funds often finance mining/exploration (e.g., juniors in rare earths/scandium like NioCorp/IBC peers). Tighter liquidity → less capital for projects → delays in domestic supply chains (e.g., Elk Creek, Araxá analogs). Positive side: forced discipline may favor stronger balance sheets and proven projects. Bottom LineThis is a classic liquidity crunch moment in private credit—not a systemic crisis yet, but a warning sign. Gates protect funds short-term but can accelerate outflows if trust erodes. Watch for: * More managers following (e.g., Blackstone/Blue Owl updates). * Impact on alt manager stocks (BLK, MS, BX, OWL down sharply). * Potential Fed/SEC scrutiny on semi-liquid structures.

sniperdogruffo

Yes I meant protecting the loan book in the sense that BLK does not want to find out what people truly value those assets at. If it turns out they can only sell them at 80 cents on the dollar, they then have to tell the investors that the NAV lost 20% and that's gonna cause even more people running for the exits. It's a precarious situation.

IntergalacticBurn

I'd advise against discretionaries at this time. It's just not the regime. That's for when the market is quiet and peaceful. People are hella conservative when market conditions aren't so great. Would advise going with the midcaps as opposed to the Russell. So something like IJH instead. RSPT and SMH aren't bad either right now, if you still believe in the AI infra trade. FWIW, I have existing positions in AXP/BLK/MSFT, albeit underwater. They're just holds for me. I've tried some bank stocks like BAC as well, but they haven't been so great. I might just give up on them after the umpteenth time of trying to play them. YMMV.

zxc123zxc123

Thanks for the detailed game plan. But why me? I've been selling cash covered puts and sipping some of the dip. AXP, BLK, and MSFT. Thinking about LVMUY/BAC/IWM too. Tried to sell SVXY puts but no one bit.

Fear is not a good reason to sell but is the most common reason. BLK is fine. OWL is fine. Fear can still hurt them but I’m holding because there is nothing actually wrong except fear. Now if one of these companies stops raking in billions I’ll start to worry.

Chat is this bad? BlackRock [(BLK.N), opens new tab](https://www.reuters.com/markets/companies/BLK.N) said on Friday it has limited withdrawals from a flagship debt fund ​after a surge in redemption requests, as investor worries mount around the $2 trillion private credit industry.

celibidaque

Oh, this explains the dive BLK had on Friday.

ThreeSupreme

Yep, looks like that private credit problem is starting to get out of control... # BlackRock shares tumble over 7% after firm limits withdrawals from private credit fund **Forbes 2hrs ago** \- BlackRock, Inc. (NYSE: BLK), the world’s largest asset manager, saw its shares slide over 7% on Friday after the company capped withdrawals from one of its private credit funds, sending its stock to a low point not seen since May 2025. The firm’s stock closed down 7.2% on Friday to $955.45, continuing a string of losses that began last week. BlackRock has restricted withdrawals from its private credit fund after a surge in redemption requests, becoming the latest to be highlighted in the broader private credit issue. In February, Blue Owl Capital (OWL) permanently restricted withdrawals from a $1.6B private credit vehicle and sold $1.4B in loans to pension funds and its own insurance company. The news comes amid growing concerns about systemic risks in the $1.8T private credit market. 

Portfoliana

$26B fund gating withdrawls is not a normal friday evening headline. private credit has been the darling allocation for institutional money for the last 3 years and if BlackRock is having liquidity issues on their flagship fund thats a signal that the underlying loan book is deteriorating faster than reported. this plus oil at 90 plus the jobs miss is three separate stress signals in one day. i trimmed my BLK position at 820 last month because their private credit exposure felt overleveraged relative to what the market was pricing. if more funds start gating this could cascade into broader credit tightness pretty fast

$BLK down 2%, bearish signal for financial assets, including paper gold / silver. the question is why

ProofByVerbosity

I get what you mean and there's no way around that. Its certainly not for everyone.  I evaluate it based on adoption, long term holds, scarcity, and things like that. Decline in USD and inflation. But at the end of the day I dont disagree it could go to 0 overnight. So can other assets.  I used to believe a lot more in predictions and the models. But every valuation any huge player or expert analyst in the field put it to hitting $150k easy in 2025. But they cant account for the unknown. A glitch in Oct led to liquidation and there's active price suppression going on (allegedly, but i have no issues believing it). Yeah I know BLK doesnt own any. I just mean Fink at least pretends to believe in it as an asset. I hold some iBIT as well. They fee is stupid but I nabbed some the first week it was out. I'll sell my crypto soon enough hut will likely hold on to that and ride it out.

ProofByVerbosity

I have no doubt he's doing some salesmanship and it benefits BLK, but it doesn't invalidate that institutions are in on it now, and I suppose it's my bias, but I believe his take on it. Is he lying to sell more ETFs? I mean they all lie, sure. My point is you can't scream it's an invalid asset when it's good enough for an institution like that to carry it.

Great way to ensure you keep your money and sanity. I have sister. She's married with a kid so she spends her money on diapers. p.s. OP is right about the K-shaped economy, but a better choice for that play is AXP, LVMUY, DAL, AAPL, TPR, or BLK. Most of those have ran up massively already. One quick google search shows that Aritzia is Canadian which immediately means it's a meme and OP is just shilling his own book.

I started one with Fidelity and I like the tax advantage nature of it, but I didn’t like the absence of control over what the money was invested in. I go about things differently. I put a ton of money into my brokerage in stocks I never plan to sell, things like SPY and individual stocks like BLK. This acts as my retirement account, my son’s college account, etc. It will be transferred to a trust alongside an LLC that owns a home, or possible an LLC structure with multiple LLCs underneath it all with homes tied to them. This is to alleviate lawsuit exposure and other risks. I will eventually borrow against the fund. Current projections are anywhere between 15-23M in it by the time I’m 60. I will borrow against it, take payment in the form of the loan, and use the dividends to service the debt so I post $0 in income and pay no taxes. I firmly believe in the structuring of assets. Trust, homes all under their own LLCs, brokerage in the trust, and the trust will probably be owned by a foreign LLC that’s owned by a Delaware LLC that’s owned by me, but my name won’t be on the paperwork.

$BLK $META Facebook found out that teenagers buy more things when they are depressed, so they ran a program that controlled teenagers algo. It promoted negative posts and hid positive posts, purposefully making children depressed so they would buy more bullshit. It's worth noting that this was right after they had multiple high-profile cases where kids live-streamed their own end. This is just one glaring example, but the company is pure evil. BlackRock is buying up the world while pretending to be the good guys. They pump billions into corporate landlords that outbid regular families for houses, turning the American Dream into a permanent subscription service for renters. They're also one of the worlds worst corporations for our planet.

My initial comment was vague, and I apologize for that. [Left-Word-3216](/user/Left-Word-3216/) said that he prefers deferring research to Berkshire and trust them with everything related to strategy and investment. Why bother doing all the research for yourself, when companies like Berkshire have armies of specialists doing this way better than you? My comment referred to doing the same thing, but with Blackrock, trusting them with all the research and strategy, so at the end of the day/month just buy BLK and relax, other people are doing the investments for you.

tachyonvelocity

This is just completely false, AUM $13T doesn't mean $13T in assets nor does it mean $13T income a year. Next 12 month earnings are expected to be $6-$7B. Although, $500M loss was not only by Blackrock but also BNP Paribas, so overall exposure for BLK is likely only \~200M. That's 3% of NTM earnings, not 00037%. Of course BLK might claw back some of this money.

What the FUCK is BLK fucking doing

KMI_Dragon_Knight

Compelling write-up. Congrats on your initial gains and thanks for holding, I have a few Qs for you. First, do you have any relationship with insiders or employees? Second, can you clarify your market cap DD? According to [MarketData.com](http://MarketData.com) ABAXX is still in development phase, and a market cap of $43m, not $1b. (I think WSB Rules requires a cap for 500m, not 1b). Third, how many employees they have, what is the expertise they bring, what is the local address of their warehouses / main offices? Fourth, your claim that licensed in Singapore means licensed in the US, any source on these filings? I'm a bit skeptical here, if a startup could do a mini-NASDAQ style clearing house, the likes of BLK would have 5 already. Last: Anything else they do different that other stakeholders can't? Because all logistical issues above bigger companies can solve with a few calls and warehouses, so I don't see how supplying this gap would justify a 25X valuation on par with the legacy clearing houses.

How often do you think people actually do stupid shit but fuck up so hard that RH has to pay for it? Or does RH have retard insurance they bought from some other company? One reason why I could never get into HOOD is because of all the retards here doing dumb shit and finding infinite money glitches. Anyways, HOOD at 130B market cap when BLK is at 168B makes 0 sense but I might have bought into HOOD probably 6-12mo after IPO if it wasn't for WSB.
