A while ago, I wrote a cautious article on the BlackRock Innovation & Growth Term Trust (NYSE:BIGZ). At the time, we were in the midst of the 2022 equity bear market and risk appetites were being pulled back, so I did not think it was the best time to invest in the BIGZ fund given its risky venture capital-like portfolio.

I've frequently spoken and written about leverage-on-leverage contagion risks from the private equity and credit markets, with feedback loops to real estate. Some of the articles are here. As interest rates slumped in the decade leading up to 2022, this space increasingly attracted yield-starved capital from institutions and individuals alike.

Bloomberg: "'AI Craze' Powers Best Week in 2024 for Stocks." Also from Bloomberg: "Wall Street Humbled as Fast-Reversing Markets Confound the Pros." Did we learn much this week? The bulls have plenty of fight. We would expect nothing less, especially at this point in the cycle.
