Hi Linda, Buy 9984 when Nasdaq hits 2800 or when August is half over. Whichever comes first. Psychology and time will take us where we would rather not be. I am not so worried about Softbank as I too am numb but also I note many many incubators are down by similar order of magnitude. Those that are not may very well will. The private equity funding of quality deals with proven teams continue in HK at slightly reduced pace from last November/December (but November was a time when folks were too busy to go to the toilet and December was a time when folks bought loose diamonds as year end presents in order to save thinking time). IPOs certainly have slowed worldwide and thus Private Equity funding has slowed drastically (completely) for the marginal deals (three guys, a dog and a business plan). Softbank is but a private equity fund management company, but one with an interest story line. Now Softbank staff will have to work for a living, like every other person with a dog. My household and office is still decorated with pending B-plans in various stages of completion and there are still so many neat ideas and series A level companies (some even have revenue and can actually fund growth internally though at much slower pace). I only work on deals I believe in and will accept shares in lieu of cash compensation from. No, the revolution continues although many revolutionaries have been seriously bloodied, some are even missing heads. I read my December/January postings and I smile, for I did not believe in my own words enough. To not have gotten out before now is understandable; to have gotten almost completely out in January and then to have gotten half step back in during February is funny. Reminds me of the little guy trying to grab that last trinket from deep within the pyramid at the end of the movie "Mummy", even as the tempo of the music was speeding up. The guy was not wearing earphones, apparently, or he never saw an Alfred Hitchcock movie.
