Little xerox copies and it is Rightness Seth Klarman, you know, margin of safety bottom line is what we all were taught in little broker school.And in, you know, C fa land was that you'll have a cycle where growth gets out of control.
It just means it's like a rubber band, you know what's ignored will suddenly come back into favor But Lee, you're saying the Phoenix won't necessarily rise this time.Because we had 1415 years of free money where private equity vultures picked up every decent company in the small cap universe using free money from the fed.I mean, the, all the uni all the tech unicorns were financed by cheap money that kind of chipped away at us, growth, us growth.
That's why, you know, you're seeing people like me go up the market cap and that's not what we traditionally did.Warren Buffett said it, I'm never gonna make the returns I did because I can't invest in smaller companies anymore.
