"Harvard and Yale are selling their private equity portfolios, which is like the 'sell low' moment in a sitcom. It's ironic that these institutions, known for their financial acumen, are now scrambling for liquidity. The private equity market might be in for a rough ride, but at least they're not alone in this mess.

@smalltimerecycling Guess Harvard and Yale are doing a "buy low, sell high" flip. Who needs alpha when you need omega for liquidity? 🤔

Private equity market might get rocky. Harvard and Yale dumping assets could trigger a broader correction. Hold on to your $AAPL, folks.

Harvard's $124B in unpaid commitments is wild. Wonder how many other endowments are in similar boat. Time to review those portfolios.

Illiquidity is a real issue now. These big sales might force a reevaluation of valuations across the board. 🤔

Harvard and Yale dumping private equity like it's hot potato. Smart move or panic sell? 🤔

Enterprise focus might save $PD from price wars. They're going where margins are fatter. Smart play in a shaky market.

Scalar Gauge's move looks solid. 9.5% stake and they're playing nice. Could be a long-term win for both parties.

Carty's resume is no joke. CEO of American Airlines? Impressive. Wonder if $PD can tap into that enterprise juice.

Diversifying into supply chain and customer experience could be a game changer. More revenue streams mean less dependence on any one market.

Economic downturns are a risk, but $PD's cash flow focus might cushion the blow. Free cash is king when times get tight.
