Sequoia Capital slideshow on the impacts of the current economic goon-screw on startups and venture funding.

Having had little time to follow the news for a couple of days, I've been surprised at how little Paulson's proposed plan has managed to improve after a period of what one would have expected to be intense academic, media and public scrutiny. Apparently plenty of people who are following are less than pleased.

An interesting walk through of the policy motivations and implications for dealing with the financial crisis of 2008. I expect glue sales to surge overnight.

From the Wall Street Journal…

“The stock market is currently trading right where it was nine years ago. In fact, adding in dividends and taking inflation into account, stock market investors have lost money since 1999. The extended US-stock underperformance puts the current stock market in very bad company: the 1930s with its terrible unemployment, and the 1970s with its double-digit inflation. In both of those periods, stocks would rally strongly only to fade. It took well over a decade in each case….before stocks moved lastingly upward.”

It’s not stated whether the implosion of the US dollar has been factored in along with dividends and inflation… I would guess not.
