I took a lot of math classes. I couldn’t give up math in computer science. So because we have a view on our liability profile, we need to make sure we match our assets on a currency duration and liquidity basis. So of course, what the Fed will do impacts markets, impacts valuations, impacts interest rates.

00:31:40 [Speaker Changed] So there’s the emotions and then there’s the math, right? And so when we, you know, kind of came into January of 2025, we were starting to talk to folks about, look at where the dollar is versus virtually every other currency super strong. But we think that that valuations are there.

Obviously math, there’s a ton of symbolic logic wherever you look, that classic syllogism, right? And then number three is gonna be sentiment and valuation. Now, sometimes people say sentiment and valuation, why are they together? So, so valuation is going to reflect sentiment. The third is sentiment and valuation.

And I did a lot of options math, which I thought was interesting. That is not being reflected in valuations from a top down standpoint. One is, if you think about EM, equity valuations versus the s and p, the EM index is trading at, you know, 10 to 11 times forward pe. You can get growth at extremely compelling valuations.

trillion, the trustee hired to find the missing loot has concluded two things: that the $500 million valuation of the missing bitcoin is accurate, and that he’s been able to find only $91 million of it. A rather implausible amount, since, at the moment, experts believe that there are only $7 billion bitcoins in circulation.

Now if we only knew the denominator and could do the math to see what those numbers really look like. Zenefits’ Valuation Cut. By having a reset in valuation, it could be argued that the firm is offering payment of sorts for its own past behavior. It is also, perhaps, setting the bar lower for valuation to climb again.

So I, I did a math degree at Oxford, which is more pure math. You know, pure math can be very theoretical and detached from the real world, and it’s getting worse. It’s just math stick to it over long periods of time. Then the volatility and, and the valuation makes an enormous difference.
