So PE has been in a large portion of the retirement accounts for decades. Pretty much every private, state and federal pension program has an allocation to PE. Heck, even if you own VOO, you have exposure to PE, APO, KKR, and BX, are part of the index.

You're not wrong, but 'tards will tard. I might have once accidentally bought Blackstone (BX) instead of Blackrock (BLK).

Hello good sir Do you still own any contracts and or stock going into earnings tmrw? I’ve got about 30K in calls. While I am too poor for a Ferarri, I am hoping to get myself a 911 this summer and eventually get to your level. Additionally I’m very curious about your plays on BX and why specifically you’d buy calls so far forward? You clearly have found other plays which have given you great returns, but overall BX performance has kinda lagged. Congrats, hope you enjoy the whip

WickedSensitiveCrew

I own shares in APO and KKR. Why do you think the narrative can shift sooner to bet on a specific time frame with options? Was it BX earnings coming out last week? Seems when you try to look it up in media they are negative and companies cant speak out since they are in a blackout period before their earnings come out.

ApexTerminal

This is a cleaner framing than the usual “AI winners vs losers” trade. The alt managers are not just generic financials here; they sit close to the financing layer behind the data-center / power / infrastructure buildout. The key is that a lot of AI capex cannot be financed only on hyperscaler balance sheets forever. Once you get into multi-year data-center construction, power procurement, structured credit, private credit, project finance and sale-leaseback style structures, firms like APO/BX/KKR/TPG become part of the plumbing. So the trade is not simply “AI panic is overdone.” It is more like: if AI spend continues but public equity investors rotate away from obvious semiconductor beta, the capital-formation layer may be under-owned relative to its role in the cycle. The risk is credit. These names will still trade badly if spreads widen or if the market starts questioning data-center collateral values. But as a second-order AI expression, the setup is more interesting than chasing the same crowded hardware names.

Can I ask you a question about BX though and then I'll stop bothering you! You have a very large position in that right? I know that you say for a lot of these stocks you go based on your own general knowledge from following these things for so long But is there a price you're looking at for BX, like in the long/short term? And I ask because I'm actually in it but not a huge position and I was considering picking up a bunch more and you're obviously in it for quite a bit so just was wondering your thoughts if you don't mind

BetweenCoffeeNSleep

Interesting. I tuned down leverage a bit by selling some SSO (down to my typical 40% allocation) to store gains in VOO and VXUS back in January and put on BX 9/18 130 and 135 strike calls in Feb. When things feel toppy, I generally get out of picked stocks and tune leverage down, but stay fully invested.

carzzn

Excellent play on $BX. We loaded up on spot position ourselves. Should have ripped the options!

BetweenCoffeeNSleep

I’ve been sitting in BX 9/18 135 strike calls since 2/3 and 9/18 130 strike calls since 2/17. I watched the stock drop to $102/share on private credit narrative concerns (story redux is low liquidity PC loans, primarily used by PE firms, many of these for software company acquisitions, plus the threat of AI disruption of software companies). BX behavior hasn’t indicated concern. Headlines that weren’t “PC is the next sub-prime” sensationalism have been about deals. I’ve held, being patient and waiting for the narrative to blow over. Oppenheimer raised their target price a couple days ago. The stock has ripped back up. I still have 5 months until exp, with eyes on closing before 45 days to exp. Discipline is lovely.

In the context of the question, those are less likely to have a huge fall than SNDK, ARM, etc. and especially the upcoming Anthropic and OpenAI launches. I didn’t call them value plays. If that was the question I would have said PM, BX, UBER, WFC, SYF. But it wasn’t.

slingingfunds

You linked an article of Jamie Dimon ‘warning’ that credit losses will be larger than anticipated. He wrote that in his shareholder letter. You realize banks like JPM compete with direct lenders like BX, KKR, OWL, Apollo, etc? You realize they’ve lost that war and would gladly win that business back if they could? You realize JPM just launched a PC fund of their own? All of this to say, Jamie Dimon is incentivized to portray PC in a negative light. I’m not saying there’s not bad actors, and I’m not saying there won’t be defaults (going from nothing to something is always a story) but this entire conversation started because you said ‘dumbass’ retail is going to save everyone from illiquidity issues. ✌️

slingingfunds

Also incorrect in stating BX employees had to contribute ‘to meet redemptions’.. BCRED has like 2 years of liquidity at 5% of NAV. They did it so the fun wouldn’t have to get board approval and shareholders would have received a letter in the mail, etc It was actually a smart move and limited more noise for their investors. Additionally, you’re still confusing a closed end funds with a perpetual. Any unrealized or realized losses in a perpetual fund are going to hit all shareholders via NAV price movement or lower income via a distribution cut.

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

Boomer_With_Dementia

I bought Blackstone BX puts a week ago, I dunno I thought private credit news might hurt their stock price, and I thought oil crisis might also hurt their stock. If the market goes up, then I move more $$ from stock to cash. If market is down.. I might buy something. I feel like short term, there is likely going to be a disaster and everything goes down, I still don't understand exactly how that works, but it is what seems to happen. So maybe switch to cash. I feel like long term defense stocks go up, global defense stocks go up like nobody has ever seen before. Wether that is UP from current price, or UP from whenever the falling knife kills the bouncing cat, I don't know. Oh and also gold goes up as central banks rage buy gold and rage sell US treasuries. Not Financial Advise, Not event a coherent plan, just some random thoughts.

This is so stupid . The gates on private credit funds are fully disclosed and there for a reason. Maybe people should read and understand the prospectus? You can’t invest in an illiquid instrument and then panic when you can’t get your money out. IMO this is a screaming buy opportunity for the alt asset managers like APO and BX

#TLDR --- **Ticker:** BX **Direction:** Up **Prognosis:** Buy Shares and $120 Calls **Summary:** Stop shorting private credit just because tech equity valuations are taking a hit. Private credit lenders get paid from cash flow (which is stable), not VC fantasy valuations. Furthermore, Blackstone's fund structure literally prevents bank runs. **Friendly Reminder:** Blackstone is not BlackRock, you regards.

ai-moderator

#TLDR --- **Ticker:** BX **Direction:** Up **Prognosis:** Buy Shares & $120 Calls **Fact Check:** Blackstone is NOT BlackRock. **Why shorts are cooked:** You are confusing equity risk with credit risk. Debt is paid by cash flow, not software valuations. BX is structurally protected, has zero bank-run risk, and prints money while bears cry about tech valuations.

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.

Why do some commenters here want a crash so bad. We've had three crashes and one correction in six years + multiple sector crashes. Buy CRM, MSFT, ADP, AXP, and BX if you want a crash.

#TLDR --- Ticker: BX Direction: Up Prognosis: Buy Shares & $120 Calls Thesis: Doomers are mixing up equity risk with credit risk. Private credit gets paid from cash flow, not falling software valuations. Blackstone sits at the top of the capital stack, has massive scale to absorb liquidity issues, and is structured in a way that makes a bank-style run literally impossible. Public Service Announcement: Blackstone is NOT BlackRock. Stop mixing them up, you degenerates. Flex: OP made $500k on their last DD, so you better listen.

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

100% the issue of NVDA being shoved into everything. Trying to reallocate my Voya account from cash and every fucking fund does nothing because they are all NVDA NVDA NVDA. 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%

Available-Range-5341

I think now is a good time to buy CRM, MSFT, AMT, HD, BX, and PG. Maybe ES. BX may be a bit controversial, but the rest are good AND all dipped a bit so you're getting a bit of a sale, which is why I recommend them. MMM and CLX are in dips after recent rallies so might be good to I'm assuming you're saying you don't care about the next ten years but I am sure at some level, you'd be pissed if you lost $ tomorrow, hence I recommend things already down but with good earnings Actually making this list I realized credit card stocks are way down too, maybe AXP is a buy?

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.

So I don't become the "guy who complains TSLA is up," we should start an inverse-me fund since I have a special ability to crash stocks. My recent accomplishments were CRM, MSFT and now STAG and BX.

Crazy boring idea, go long on BX 109.10 in premarket. 

Nyczboy22

So many ill informed people surrounding private credit and evergreen funds. Default rates in middle market private credit, historically have been lower than BSL or HY. The asset class benefits from smaller club (lenders) that can work strategically with the portfolio company/sponsor should the business underperform. Gates and redemption limits are explicitly detailed in offering docs and investors sign up knowing very well they are buying into funds primarily invested in illiquid assets. I’m long BX, OWL, and ARCC. Those mgmt fees aren’t going away and the underlying collateral quality seems to still be sound. AI and software disruption is real - but definitely a bit overblown as it relates to many of the businesses these PC managers lended to.

Hmm... Guess U weren't around in 2008, huh? # No safety net: Why private credit faces it first real moment of truth **Provided by Dow Jones** \- Private credit is easy to enter but hard to exit. Retail investors suddenly seeking their money back could trigger a financial crisis. A spiral of illiquidity, forced selling, markdowns, and intense risk deleveraging could emerge. Sound familiar? It happened with securitization markets during the **2007-08 financial crisis**. The recent selloff of Blue Owl Capital's (OWL) stock after a redemption at one of its retail private-credit funds has become the poster child for increasing anxiety about the health of the private-credit market. Private credit has grown rapidly in recent years - approaching $2 trillion - and it has never been tested through a full recession or highly volatile financial-market stress. Private credit does not have the financial backstop of the U.S. Treasury or the Federal Reserve, unlike most banks. JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon recently warned after a pair of private credit-backed companies declared bankruptcy that problems in private credit are rarely isolated. **Wall Street braces for a private credit meltdown** The fault line exposed now is that private credit is being offered to retail investors and wealthy individuals whose investment objectives are very different from sophisticated institutional investors. These new investors will quickly line up to get their money back, effectively forcing sales of illiquid assets, as in the case of Blue Owl. Shares of Blue Owl hit a 52-week low earlier this month, as did shares of Blackstone (BX). Other major firms including Carlyle Group (CG), KKR (KKR), Apollo Global Management (APO) and Ares Management (ARES) were also caught in the selloff. Private credit-related defaults, particularly among private equity-backed companies, have accelerated significantly in 2025 and early 2026. According to a March 6, 2026, report from Fitch Ratings, the U.S. Private Credit Default Rate hit a **record 9.2%** in 2025, following a previous record of 8.1% in 2024, with 38 defaults recorded among 28 different borrowers.

I've always had trouble valuing private equity. I like BX KKR APO but their revenue and earnings are so dependent on them finding diamonds in the rough.

Blackstone ($BX). World’s largest private equity fund. Acts almost as an ETF in that it’s a conglomerate of stakes in other businesses. Heavy investment in energy, especially LNG. Exposure to real estate, some tech in companies like Bumble and Ancestry.com, brick and mortar businesses like Jersey Mike’s. Dividend is currently around 3.5% with some capital appreciation. I like the blend of income and exposure to businesses not covered in other indices. It’s my largest holding outside of said indices and is currently at attractive prices given 52 week trend. I just bought more last week.

In the most significant scenario for AI, I tend to wonder whether there will be some degree of industrial area revitalization and deterioration of cities. Office values already cratered since 2020, but it seems like things have stabilized a bit recently. If AI continues to rapidly evolve, perhaps the decline starts up again - look at the NYC office reits like VNO and SLG falling below April 2025 lows lately. BXP close, but that's still well below 2020 highs. How much office exposure does BX - almost back to 2025 lows - have? Yet, industrial/warehouse REIT PLD is up 7.5% YTD.

I exited all individual stock positions last year and had been sitting in 50% SSO, 30% VOO, 20% VXUS (totals 130% S&P 500 exposure + 20% ex-U.S.). End of January, I moved 10% from SSO to cash in anticipation of some chop. Feb 3rd, I took a look at the BX skid. Good earnings, not ideal forward guidance, and pessimism around regulatory risk to residential real estate, some chatter about AI disruption to companies they’re exposed to, etc. The re-rating looked outsized, so I put on BX 135 strike 9/18 exp calls.

I’m buying some alts this morning (KKR, BX, ARES). I think this notion that “anthropic kills software therefore kills alt portfolios” is wayyy overdone. Everything I see shows that the SaaS cos are actually still doing just fine, they’ve just been de-rated. Falling valuations for software cos doesn’t necessarily mean falling revenues (at portcos), it just means that the market isn’t willing to pay as much for their earnings. One could argue that perhaps future growth rates or margins are overstated to the extent that vibe coded solutions make dents there , but that’s about it. So I don’t see massive defaults arising from this. I think this is especially true for things like cybersecurity; as if any real business would go with a vibe-coded solution over PANW or CRWD; lol. I'm regarded, so DYOR, but these are my thoughts.

Bought some BX after offloading it months ago. Waiting for RDDT to drop some more (hopefully). Eying MSFT around 385.

BetweenCoffeeNSleep

BX looks like it might be trying to put in a bottom. Valuation is a little above historical average. Decent earnings. Moving down on headwind speculation (AI disruption to companies they invest in, real estate restriction in the U.S., and real estate markets abroad, etc). Dividend increase implies internal confidence. I think BX goes above $135 by end of next week. Might move down a little further before then. I would expect an analyst counter-narrative vs the disruption speculation, and moves back in due to valuation relative to the broader market.

BX, Blackstone is going to be a really good buy if it dips below 140. Their numbers are solid, only going up from there.

BX beat bigly and is not even moving. PEs are doomed.

Pyu Pyu Capital’s investment in BiomX (PHGE) centers on a strategic, high-conviction partnership aimed at stabilizing the company’s capital structure and advancing its lead clinical programs. 1. Active Governance & Oversight Unlike passive institutional investors, Pyu Pyu Capital has taken an active role in BiomX's leadership. As part of its investment, it appointed Reuven Yeganeh as a Class 1 director to the BiomX board on January 13, 2026. This move signals a strategy of "active stewardship"—frequently seen in firms that drive value by closely advising on governance and operational decisions. 2. Focus on the BX011 Program The investment proceeds are specifically earmarked to support BiomX's BX011 program, which targets Staphylococcus aureus infections in patients with diabetic foot infections (DFI). Pyu Pyu Capital is providing the necessary "patient capital" to navigate the regulatory pathway for this program after the company halted other trials in late 2025. 3. Long-Term Capital Appreciation By reporting a 19.99% stake via a 13D filing on January 26, 2026, Pyu Pyu Capital has positioned itself just below the 20% threshold that typically triggers more stringent regulatory requirements or "poison pill" provisions. This substantial stake indicates a "buy-and-hold" philosophy, betting on a massive recovery in share price from depressed levels—analysts currently project an upside of over 500% with a $26.00 price target. 4. Strategic Financial Structuring The investment was executed through a Series Y Convertible Preferred Stock arrangement. This structure benefits Pyu Pyu Capital by: Yielding 15% annual dividends, paid quarterly. Providing conversion rights into common stock, allowing them to capture significant gains if the stock price recovers. Issuing warrants for up to 3.3 million additional shares, further increasing their potential future ownership.

That's been a while. I read an article in the Kiplinger magazine and after a little research I bought MU. Did the same with BX but way before MU. Same entry point for both I just bought tons of BX wish I had bought the same amount of MU. I still bought several rounds. Just holding and dripping the dividends.

1. The $200 Billion "Mortgage Bazooka" Trump announced he is directing the federal government to buy $200 billion in mortgage bonds. The Logic: By flooding the market with $200B in buying power for these bonds, the goal is to force mortgage rates down immediately. The $OPEN Connection: Opendoor's biggest enemy is high interest rates. Lower rates mean more people can afford to buy the houses Opendoor is currently holding, which speeds up their "flip" cycle and lowers their borrowing costs. 2. The "Institutional Ban" Twist In a classic "populist" move, Trump also proposed a ban on large institutional investors buying single-family homes. Wait, isn't that bad for $OPEN? You’d think so, but CEO Kaz Nejatian has been sprinting to the cameras to clarify: "We aren't institutional investors, we are a marketplace. We don't hold homes long-term; we help families buy them." * The Result: While institutional landlords like Blackstone ($BX) and Invitation Homes ($INVH) got crushed today (down 5-8%), $OPEN is being viewed as the "last man standing" that helps individuals buy homes. If the "Big Bad Wall Street Landlords" are banned, $OPEN becomes the primary way for people to move houses quickly. That's from Gemini
