| 0:00.0 | BlackRock just froze their $26 billion fund, meaning investors can't pool any withdrawals out. |
| 0:07.2 | And when this happens to a company this large, you know there's something happening in the liquidity market. |
| 0:14.0 | Yeah. So today we're going to talk about liquidity. And, you know, it's funny because most people think of their own liquidity, right? Like how much cash you I have, |
| 0:21.6 | very often you don't really think about banks, like, or financial institutions or whatever. And I |
| 0:27.9 | think this is a really interesting, you know, thing that's happening right now. You know, |
| 0:34.0 | when liquidity essentially just means that there's, you're liquid right so and there's this |
| 0:40.5 | interesting thing called the liquidity ladder so you know real cash today would be the first |
| 0:47.0 | rung of the liquidity ladder right that would be no problem i've got cash available on the |
| 0:52.0 | sidelines uh the second one would be operational cash, |

| 1:18.2 | unlocking any things like lines of credit or helock. And that would be, of course, more debt. |
| 1:24.0 | And then the last thing would be sell off the long-term assets. So those are the five liquidity |
| 1:28.4 | ladder steps. And nobody really thinks about the financial institution side of this. And that's |
| 1:34.9 | what we're starting to see lock up right now. So I think this is going to be an interesting topic. |
| 1:38.7 | Yeah. And liquidity is the money that flows through the system. And so this is what happened in |
| 1:43.1 | 2008. It was a huge liquidity issue |
| 1:45.4 | because people wanted homes. People still wanted homes. The bank wasn't lending on homes. So it really |
| 1:51.8 | wasn't that people didn't want to buy a cheap home. You just couldn't get a loan. And because everything |
| 1:56.5 | was locked up, the banks were so restrictive on what they were willing to lend, and that drives up |
