Republicans have fought nearly every single effort to curb exploitation and piracy in the name of “free markets” but what has private equity EVER improved? Honestly? It’s negatively impacted housing, schools, hospitals, healthcare, veterinary care, seniors, prisons, and peace. What good is it?

Once upon a time there was a doom loop in the equity markets called "portfolio insurance."

It was, in essence, a do-it-yourself dynamic hedge of a virtual put option on the market. It was a big contributor to the October 1987 crash. The more the market went down the more index futures were sold.

The semiconductor cycle was only masked by front-loaded capex. When memory makers expand fabs on multi-year lead times while downstream model architectures compress memory footprints, gluts re-emerge quickly. Korea's equity drawdown is public markets pricing that inevitable cyclical reversion.

It seems that rate products are already meaningfully competing with some sectors of equity markets. Are investors chasing riskier returns in tech stocks? Or are the investors who normally hold the boring stuff switching to rate instruments?

I am an avid FT reader but I mainly read it for the arts & food coverage, and I shy slightly away from the actual markets pages.

So my reading might be a bit shaky here but I *think* this piece is finance-paper-ese for "all this leveraged datacentre financing looks like total bollocks, non?"
