Tyler Durden's picture




 

While careful to explain that valuations overall are below dot-com bubble levels, KPCB's Mary Meeker warns that there are "certainly some valuation excesses" in the tech arena currently as she unveils her latest 164-page epic chartapalooza on Internet Trends... With internet adoption rates slowing, the question is - which are the names that are in a bubble?

In order to determine proper valuations, you must allow for true price discovery.

Sorry Mary, you are full of shit.

The question everyone really wants to know, if they married and hyphenated their last name would it be:

Meeker-Yellen or Yellen-Meeker.

Durden-Yellen.  Yellen-Durden.   "Opposite, but just the same."

"you must allow for true price discovery."

The US Federal Reserve is determined not to let that happen.

Only thing that circumvents the Fed's intervention is a loss in the trust of the US dollar. Once that occurs the Federal Reserve loses control and price discovery returns.

This is the same Mary Meeker who was wheeled out by Morgan Stanley back in the day with pom poms and flashing lights to cheer lead all things internet especially AOL, and then for a while when the internet bubble was bursting Meeker switched her tune to saying that a diversified portfolio approach of buying all the internet stocks even with 90% dogs would have worked since a few names scored big, and then she disappeared off the horizon as she became a liability to Morgan Stanley, since it was a right place at the right time lucky story...You mean this same Mary Meeker is back?

 

God help us!

This is one shill that no one misses. Just more Fraiser Craine-laced bullshit that simply says "buy the companies we're taking public".

Talking her book, same as it ever was.

Sad

164 pages to report on  up or down. 

 

Note to self.  Add Mary Meeker to the dumbass list and the ignore list.

 

Sometimes dumbasses are entertaining - like Curly, Larry and Moe.

Read a book sometime.

I started out wondering "Who is Mary Meeker"?  A dozen slides in I realized I didn't care.

Could we get the Dancing With The Starts executive summary or something next time?

 She was the dot.com bubble queen back in her heyday with Morgan Stanley. Certainly she speaks with authority.

"the question is - which are the names that are in a bubble?"

Some excess valuations? Mary has a gift for understating the obvious.

The internet is an experiment in exponential growth of complexity.
Soon no one will be able to use any but the most simplistic of web sites.
All problems to this day are solved with hardware, but those days are ending.
Code is complex so it should have always been kept simple, small and clean.
But it wasn't so all that complexity adds up overtime. Time is running out.
What will happen as a response is the rise of the private networks, the Intranets.
This is what happens when complexity runs unbound.
The question is: How do private organizations get public funds to build these expensive private networks?

They lick Yellen's box and give Kevin Henry a Tesla for his birthday.

I want ZH to show the latest video from Bidermann, the Cali-doofus that went 100% short at ES 1550.
