Relational risk analysis
**On the surface:** Financial innovations provide profit opportunities for hedge funds
**In reality:** A betting structure that relies on trust with the company.
- The more the lending company falters, the more profit from short selling is maximized.
- Decrease in corporate value → Hedge fund profits → Goldman fees received
- **Structure that prioritizes financial derivative profits over corporate soundness**

Leading signals captured by relational risk
1. CB (Convertible Bonds) + Companies with excessive accumulation of external loans
2. A listed company where a PE (private equity fund) takes over management rights after a leveraged acquisition.
3. When major shareholders and creditors are connected to the same financial network
4. A company whose executives were replaced by those from large investment banks
→ In all these structures, **corporations become tools of capital**
→ Individual investors are structural victims who receive the volume last.

A word from the preacher
Capital does not exist to help businesses.
Capital utilizes companies for capital returns.
Goldman's strategy is the most obvious example of that fact.
**Read the relationships behind the numbers. The signal has already started when the financial statements are in order.**
