<Not pretty at all, unless you happened to be one of the 787 companies receiving a total of $6.2 BILLION in venture financing in the first quarter of 2002.> Uhhh, yea, the follow deals... much of it locked in place already with no chance of bailing right? You forgot to mention the growth rate, oh I mean (growth) rate for THAT number. For you to pretend that VC is in growth or expansion mode is misleading at best. <Well, as ANYONE in the loop knows, DAK, tax receipts are down primarily due to declines in capital gains taxes paid.> Oh, so THAT isn't contractionary... ? Oh, sorry. Jeez, I could have sworn states trimming budgets and staff was a negative for the economy... <Oh...just the BLS> Well that's nice... come July we'll have the proper picture according to Roach. Besides... how much of THAT was Govt. spending and 9/11.... 90%??? What did corp profits do during that time??? Ooops, right. DAK
