Given current market conditions, companies selling less than cash on hand and a SP500 debt-to-equity of 40%, investors who embraced Solyndra only look half as stupid. But this is one thing I definitely share with ol' man Buffet, aversion to tech. Happy or sad, it WILL be blinding.

Quote:
"It was revolutionary," said Walter Bailey, a former Macquarie Capital investment banker who specialized in green technology and visited Solyndra in 2008. "You had some of the smartest money in the world getting behind it. It was a real company with a huge factory and an extremely unique product.

Nasdaq, "the exchange for the next hundred years," has run its course:

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-09-07/nasdaq-ipos-beaten-by-s-p-500-for-first-time-amid-sales-of-buyout-castoffs.html

Quote:
IPOs of companies on the Nasdaq Stock Market climbed in nine of the past 10 years, outperforming both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite Index, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The only time before this year that new Nasdaq shares declined was in 2008, when they fell 13 percent on average. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite both slid 30 percent in the same period, the data show.

Nasdaq IPOs gained each year in the 2000 to 2002 bear market as technology stocks plummeted. They advanced an average 0.3 percent in 2000, beating the S&P 500 by 8.8 percentage points, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Investors in the Nasdaq Composite would have lost 36 percent.
