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.

Oh, this explains the dive BLK had on Friday.

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 might be a buy on the expansion of international investing through their country & regional ETF products. they generally have higher fees than the US focused etfs.

>~~WE~~ This. I don't hold any HOOD stock. My play in Financials/AssetManagement is BLK.

zxc123zxc123

Or just don't play momentum..... I've just been keeping my short note USTs around 10-15%. Extra money had been going into things opportunistically: energy (SHEL/CHRD), small caps, LVMUY, and select financials like AXP/BLK. Recently added to MSFT. Just don't buy what's being hyped by WSB. Remember kids, some folks are actually born with lower IQ, stunted mental development, and/or a mental health condition. But folks on WSB? You guys can CHOOSE to be not be retarded. Every day. Like just be ~~yourself~~ not retarded.

ThinkingOfTheOldDays

blackrock, $BLK, down >6%. don't see that everyday from the world's largest asset manager.

ThinkingOfTheOldDays

$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.

$BLK will split and then move substantially higher. Excellent quarter

Three_of_a_kind3515

Calls on BLK since they own the IBIT and corn is above 95,000… calls on TSM but not till after the plunge in the morning as “Traders Assess the report”… calls on GS.. since multiple banks reported more trading income than expected.. I think it was JPM… now.. if I have the actual discipline to carry these out, is another matter. 😝 Good luck out there.

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.

I’ll tell you what I bought, in order, starting Feb 2025: CSU UNH MSFT SHOP BLK PLTR AMD TSLA BABA VISA CEGS (And this week MU which shot ip over 10% the next day, weeeee!) The losers so far have been CSU, UNH and CEGS (to be fair, this one has upside and was the last one bought) Net gain in 2025 11.9%. Keep in mind, half of the picks haven’t been held half a year even, and they are rockin.

DontNeedaNameThanks

An article I just read in the Fidelity app's newsfeed just listed BLK as a featured ticker when they were actually talking about Blackstone.

2022 was the year inflation kicked off big time due to covid money policy. BlackRock does whatever seems like a good opportunity to make money. I own quite some BLK. But BLK has cashflows...

ICEtoAshes

$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.

I wasn’t talking about active funds, I was referring to owning BLK.

celibidaque

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.

re-thc

BlackRock BLK. They already had to underwrite a large about last time from TriColor and friends. They can't keep doing it. Sure, whilst we get rate cuts and QE, but nah it's going to be a bigger player that crashes the market.

Rick_The_Duck

BlackRock faceplanted in shadow banking: $500m “receivables” were merely vibes. For BLK it’s a parking ticket; for private credit, it’s cockroach season. Don’t YOLO BLK puts; if the roaches multiply, smack HYG/JNK/BKLN or grab VIX. Shadow banking = payday loans in tuxedos. Free yield ain’t free.

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.

Automatic-Acadia7785

I have a watchlist of stocks i named "Evil Corporation". Includes companies like BLK, BX, LMT, RTX, MS, JPM, GS, XOM, etc.  Performing second only to the tech watchlist 

zxc123zxc123

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.

Only put a certain percentage in for short term plays. Unless its a long hold like AMZN, BLK, etf, bank stock, index gold, silver or crypto ETF i start looking at selling at 20% gain but will usually sell by 40%. Except for NVDA I held ton150% gain. If something looks sketchy I sell at 10% profit or get out even at a small loss.  Simple stuff like that, keeps me from making bonehead plays of the past. I have for sure left gains on the table. SOFI, PLTR, TEM come to mind. Left a lot of gains on the table but also made good profit on them, so I moved on. After taking profits if its a legit good stock or company ill buy back in.

People use this to buy weed and food when their other money sources tap out. Hawking short term loans to broke ass fks is a nifty niche if you can crack it: See many millions made in AMSCOT payday loans or Buy here Pay here used cars. Not my investment. Safer and more profitable to profit buying BLK on a dip.

Been selling into this rise since Feb and do not regret the redeployed cash doing new gains in new things. Rebalancing out of USA tech shit paid nicely. My last 35 shares are about to go at 175. I may cancel that because this could be a BLK sized stock in 10 years. But the PE is insane and my agency LOVES our PLTR contract (healthjcare not warfare). My local director has tightened payroll losses, reduced wasteful OT but paid smarter where needed. FWIW

It was announced 30 caliber. Most likely would be .308 or 300BLK, but could be a number of boutique calibers as well. Not likely one of the many 300 magnums. Could be .30-06, nut seems unlikely to me.

Sufficient_Winner686

I’m assuming you’re actually around 4.5%. FZFXX sits around 3.91%, so I’d say go SGOV, but it sounds like you already have it sitting somewhere good. I’m sitting on 50k now that I need to invest. I’m probably going to put it in SGOV for now. Also considering selling roughly $24,000 worth of BLK stock that I’m 20% up on. I just don’t trust the admin or the direction of the economy right now. Everything in the market is overvalued and I just don’t see the vision everyone else is seeing.

So I’ve used ChatGPT in a loosely similar manner, and the complexity of the prompt (plus deep level follow on conversation) is what really helps drill down to what you’re looking for. Based on a lengthy discussion about thesis, aggressiveness, convictions, etc, I asked it to recommend 10 stocks to round out exposure in key areas, and it recommended BLK, COIN, VRTX, REGN, NTLA, CRSP, SNOW, PDYN, SMR, and ARKW ETF. I made purchases of three of these and I’m up ~40% since.

What is there to explain? BlackRock buys ETH, packages it into an ETF and sells it on the market. Whoever buys the ETF is the owner of that underlying asset, BLK only holds it and charges you a management fee. BlackRock doesn't own any crypto, they don't own the majority of the stocks either. They hold it for their clients, who are the owners
