What the Private Credit Headlines Got Wrong, The Rule of 55 & The $1.3B Tax Mistake

The US men's hockey team won gold for the first time in 40 years. Private credit is making headlines as the next 2008 crisis. And the Rule of 55 might help early retirees access their 401(k)s penalty-free. Adam and Andy start with the miracle on ice moment, then get into the private credit panic sweeping financial media. Blue Owl's pricing shock revealed a 16% discount between stated value and market value, triggering fears about what's really inside private debt funds. Data from Cliffwater tells a different story: defaults below historical averages, yields hovering around 9%. Then they explain the Rule of 55, a break-glass-in-case-of-emergency strategy that lets people access 401(k) funds penalty-free between ages 55 and 59½. Finally, Adam breaks down estimated taxes and why $1.3 billion in underpayment penalties hit high earners in 2024, triple the 2021 amount. ⏱️ Timestamps: (1:31) Intro: US Olympic hockey gold after 40 years (3:42) Private credit making headlines as the next crisis (7:12) Blue Owl pricing shock: 16% discount revealed (10:19) Cliffwater data: Yields above 9%, defaults below normal (14:09) Rule of 55 explained: Break glass in case of emergency (18:00) When does using the Rule of 55 actually make sense?
