In this brief monologue, the speaker highlights the pervasive fear and uncertainty in the financial industry during 2024. He notes that interest rate direction is highly contested, with some expecting cuts and others anticipating hikes, and points out the challenge of maturing debt notes. Despite the turmoil, he asserts that capital raising will not cease; rather, more participants are vying for the same pool of capital, intensifying competition among fundraisers.

There's a lot of fear right now. The industry is wildly unpredictable, right? Depends on who you ask is what you're going to be found. I try to stay out of the prediction game, but I can tell you one thing. There's a lot of fear right now. And I think over the next little bit of time, it will be more indicative of what's to come. And these interest rates are just unpredictable. You know, we've got one group of people predicting they're going to lower it, one group of people predicting they're going to raise it. We're seeing all these notes maturing and it's really hard to predict. I don't think capital is ever going to stop being raised. I think there's a lot of people that still want to place capital. I just think there's a lot more people trying to raise that pool of capital.
