Sign of the tech bubble? Financiers jumping to tech companies?
The chemists and high school teachers turned ninja hax0r can't be far off. Someone please warn me so I can short XLK.
- swalsh 15y agoTo me, that's just reallocating resources. Any efficient system of capitalism will see that happening. However IPO's with unreasonable valuations, and investments greater than what's needed is a pretty good sign of bubble. So i'll let linkedin, and facebook make me scared of a bubble. Not to mention the startup Color.

- mkjones 15y agoI hope we don't lose high school teachers to tech companies. The world needs them much more as teachers.
