What was said around it

much more multiple compression we just won't see much multiple expansion and if the multiples remain exactly how they are today vichi should grow right along with their earnings growth which would mean that they still have a decent year in 2024 so even in the scenario that interest rates hang around where where they are today I don't see much more downside for vich but that of course is not the only scenario there is of course the option that the FED begins to cut rates in 2024 I think they're going to cut rates and uh you I think they're going to cut rates sooner than people expect pretty soon so you know I think the market expects sometime middle of next year I think it's more likely probably as early as q1 Bill Amman is predicting that the FED will be forced to cut interest rates early next year and this isn't off the cuff this isn't said in justest he has actually positioned his portfolio on this happening he is buying specific positions that will benefit from an interest rate cut in this scenario that we start to see interest rate Cuts sooner than expected companies like vichi will benefit from the relative value of savings accounts and money market accounts going down vich will
