Google Ventures and Using Big Data For Venture Investing - NY Times Article

6/24/2013

0 Comments

 
In Claire Cain Miller's posting yesterday on the NYTimes.com,  "New Venture Focuses on Science of Deal, not Art of the Deal." Google Ventures and their data-driven approach to making venture investments is explored.  While instinct and luck still influence the investment decision, data is driving Google Ventures' investment approach.  It's an interesting article.  Here's the link:  http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/24/technology/venture-capital-blends-more-data-crunching-into-choice-of-targets.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0

Surpluses Help, but Fiscal Woes for States Go On - NY Times Article

6/1/2013

0 Comments

 
The recent article in the New York Times "Surpluses Help, but Fiscal Woes for States Go On" is an interesting read that explains the causes of the surpluses and their possible one-off nature, and the ongoing issues surrounding underfunded state pension and health obligations.  The bottom line is while these one-off surpluses are better news than continuing deficits, state legislators should exercise restraint and focus on long-term fiscal issues, such as massively under-funded pension plans and rising health care costs.  Here's the link:  http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/01/us/surpluses-help-but-fiscal-woes-for-states-go-on.html?
