These great deals are not out there right now. But I don't think you'll ever understand that.
It's like saying the guy who sold his house in March of 2022 because he got fired from his job for being incompetent is brilliant because he sold at the top of the market, and the guy who sold his house last week because he was diagnosed with a terminal cancer is an idiot because he didn't sell his house for top dollar.

Like I said, you can come up with any reason to justify a trade.
The cap saving means nothing until he takes advantage of it
The market is bad but nobody forces him to make the trade NOW
The return is what it is. Very underwhelming but he still has many opportunities left.
