YC advises founders to ‘plan for the worst’ amid market teardown
During this week we’ve done office hours with a large number of YC companies. They reached out to ask whether they should change their plans around spending, runway, hiring, and funding rounds based on the current state of public markets. What we’ve told them is that economic downturns often become huge opportunities for the founders who quickly change their mindset, plan ahead, and make sure their company survives.

Bill Gurley has some good reality check for everyone?
‘If you’re going to build something from scratch, this might be as good a time as in a decade’
Bill Gurley: I try to convey that they need to get in front of this. In a couple meetings, I’ve heard an owner or founder say, “Well, you know, we just need to buckle down until things get back to where they were.” And I’m, like, “No, the fantasy was the past five years.”

If Gilt yield reachs a certain level like 4.75%, I am quite sure the Bank of England will step in to flood another round of QE.
The retiree group in England is significantly large and a margin call on a large number of pension funds will result in a cost of living crisis among the elderly.

Yes bond yield control like Japan... You will then have depreciating currency, inflation going up....which you then need to jack up interest rate to fight inflation and bond yield goes up again correspondingly....
educational to watch and learn if you are standing aside....and see how it goes
