Fentanyl Czar would be a good punk band name

No doubt. But I assume this is the reason banks issue them (way below market financing) moreso than the 50 bps or whatever, thus guessing why they pay huge commissions to advisors to allocate.

It’s also capital raising, right? I assume they don’t segregate the $$

Ok… that makes me feel better

Not that I’ve seen for end buyers. Often collected by advisors as a fee.

Keep seeing structured notes from banks, which are subordinated debt. My $0.02... they should offer returns equal to the note's expected return PLUS the bank's subordinated debt yield.

In practice, they often (usually?) pay less than expected return.

As more interaction moves online, it seems like it could become more automated

Tommy used to work on the docks,
Machines took his job,
Now he’s out of luck—it’s tough, so tough.

Foreign companies came to play,
Cutting the jobs, they sent cash away,
It’s rough—so rough.

I think there is a decent (not likely) chance Soto opts out of this deal after 5 years.

He’ll only be 31 earning $55mm nominal each of the next ten years.

If he produces as expected, it will be a function of what contracts look like at that point.

Oh man… what did Tsunami Warning say this time!

Most of this increase is a function of global sales growth of U.S. companies (pre tax corporate profit growth has been similar)
