“I believe the odds are in the favor of interest rates going down instead of going up I think the odds are somewhere around 80% that they're going to go down about 20% that they're going to go up”

What was said around it

some secondary impact on companies like Inuit with small businesses or spending in the overall economy with MasterCard but overall these companies are incredibly resilient and they are more than used to differences in interest rates the biggest company in my portfolio that this would directly impact is in the real estate category V is a highly levered business and it's one that's very sensitive to interest rates the price of vichi has gone down as interest rates have gone up and like I've said before I believe the odds are in the favor of interest rates going down instead of going up I think the odds are somewhere around 80% that they're going to go down about 20% that they're going to go up so if I add a bet I I think there's more chance that interest rates go down like Bill Amman is predicting and I think that would positively impact vich stock price if interest rates go down that means that you're earning less money on your cash balances and money market accounts making higher yielding assets like vich more attractive on a relative basis a lowering of interest rates should directly benefit a company like fi so whether or not we have a rate cut the beginning of next year or mid next
