Venture partnership income is very interesting.

First, the income does not need investment profit to make money; but you can share risk and sell limited partnership to have cash income. CMGI has been getting $25 million per quarter, at times.

Generally, venture capital firms like to share risk, and have plenty of funds available from previous profits. It is a business that most of us do not understand. But you have to have some one who knows the players in the venture capital field to analyse the investment opportunity. Which is putting small amount of money into a startup, the partnership owns the stock then sell limited partnership to share the rewards later. The revenue from limited partnership sales becomes an income. So, CMGI has to invest in what all venture capital firms want to invest.

The venture capital investments often are technology related that may have a social value, such as cleaner oil processing, etc.
