Hi Pass, RE: "out of the $25 billion annual sales, what does the percentage of sales belong to this kind of scheme?" Here's an article to give you an idea on the scale of VC investments: redherring.com Lawrence Aragon "The past few years have been beyond an aberration." VC Investments: 1994 $6 billion 1997 $17.9B 1998 $30B 1999 $82B ... Venture Economics's research shows that until 1999, VCs as a whole never invested more than $10 billion a year. For most of the 1990s, they invested less than $2 billion a year. When you look at it that way, $40 billion is manna." ------------------- Message 15574318 From $2B to $82B. That $82B makes Y2K's $30B look like a speed bump in comparison to what flooded the market the other year. Regards, Amy J
