Private Equity Meme Top

Asymmetric Event Trade (ok, it's a gamble)

We’ve hit “Peak Private Equity” and the signs were all there.

At Shrubstack we love an asymmetric Event Trade, and this one is more of an asymmetric “gamble” (not that there’s a difference) to capitalize on this “Meme Top”.

There’s a 95% chance it won’t work. But if it works, we’ll make >10x our money as well as bragging rights.
