“Venture capital has peaked in terms of its appetite, in terms of how much money it wants to put in. So now private equity funds are piling in.

“We live in a global market and money's fungible and hedge fund private equity is looking for momentum plays, and there ain't no momentum plays in bonds, right? When the interest rates were spiking up or down, well they never really spike down they do spike up though. Something's got to happen, there's got to be motion, the dice has to be rolling on the board, and if it's not then they're not going to play because they're not going to get the adrenaline rush from looking at... you know, money markets fund interest rates or bond interests or whatever. It's got to be sexy.” IfsKnowsWellsPlayHappensInterestRateSexyBoardsFundRollingEquityMomentumAdrenalineDiceInterest RateHedge FundAdrenaline RushPrivate Equity Author:Kevin Kinsella
