vielä silmäs iskee tultataitaa olla perjantai kaheksantoista minuuttia tätä joulua vielä, mitäs tehtäis kun Sirkka on oksentanut hellaan, hän sanoo"Minä olen hyvin harvat kerrat oksentanut sinne, tämä oli toinen tai kolmas kerta. Anja oksentaa vähän väliä ettekä te sano sille mitään, mutta minulle te sanotte siitä, kun mä kerrankin sen teen. Se näköjään huomataan, mitä ihminen kerran tekee."
Kyllä. Mitä muuta?"Ruohikossa oli vanha pyykkipoika, panin sen nenääni. Se puristi tiukasti,
Absurdi ilmaisu on kirurgin homma. Hullunkurisuutta ja saranoiltaan luiskahtanutta maailmaa mihin tihentyy kaikki? Ja millaisen henkilön maailma Vilhosen naama noudattaa semmoista sääntöä, että se nauraa, naaman vasen puoli oli kolkko, mutta oikea puoli naurettava."
Perinteisessä epiikassa on suvantokohtia, tammilehtoja, joiden varjossa lukija voi leputtaa silmiään ja pohdiskella kirjailijan kanssa vuosisatamme keskeisiä akanvirtoja. Meren proosassa tuoli vedetään alta ja sanotaan: sori, se oli ohjaajan tuoli.
The bursting of the Internet Bubble and the private equity crash (2000 to 2003)
The Nasdaq crash and technology slump that started in March 2000 shook virtually the entire venture capital industry as valuations for startup technology companies collapsed. Over the next two years, many venture firms had been forced to write-off their large proportions of their investments and many funds were significantly "under water" (the values of the fund's investments were below the amount of capital invested). Venture capital investors sought to reduce size of commitments they had made to venture capital funds and in numerous instances, investors sought to unload existing commitments for cents on the dollar in the secondary market. By mid-2003, the venture capital industry had shriveled to about half its 2001 capacity. Nevertheless, PricewaterhouseCoopers' MoneyTree Survey shows that total venture capital investments held steady at 2003 levels through the second quarter of 2005.
Although the post-boom years represent just a small fraction of the peak levels of venture investment reached in 2000, they still represent an increase over the levels of investment from 1980 through 1995. As a percentage of GDP, venture investment was 0.058% percent in 1994, peaked at 1.087% (nearly 19x the 1994 level) in 2000 and ranged from 0.164% to 0.182 % in 2003 and 2004. The revival of an Internet-driven environment in 2004 through 2007 helped to revive the venture capital environment. However, as a percentage of the overall private equity market, venture capital has still not reached its mid-1990s level, let alone its peak in 2000.
However, venture capital funds, which were responsible for much of the fundraising volume in 2000 (the height of the dot-com bubble), raised only $25.1 billion in 2006, a 2% percent decline from 2005 and a significant decline from its peak.[15]
A 2000 paper by Meir Statman found that using the same parameters that explained BHB's 93.6% variance result, a hypothetical financial advisor with perfect foresight in tactical asset allocation performed 8.1% better per year, yet the variance was still explained 89.4% of the variance. Thus, explaining variance does not explain performance. Statman says that strategic asset allocation is movement along the efficient frontier, whereas tactical asset allocation involves movement of the efficient frontier. A more common sense explanation of the Brinson, Hood, and Beebower study is that asset allocation explains more than 90% of the volatility of returns of an overall portfolio, but will not explain the ending results of your portfolio over long periods of time. Hood notes in his review of the material over 20 years, however, that explaining performance over time is possible with the BHB approach but was not the focus of the original paper. Vallée expresses concern about the often authoritarian political and religious views expressed by many contactees wit the unseen.
