Friday, February 6th, 2009Economy is Taking Its Toll
Friday, February 6th, 2009It is getting personal.
This week alone, I have sat though several meetings whereby one of the young startups I have invested in will soon shut its doors.
The ad market is tough; the VC community isn’t investing; and banks won’t make receivable loans. Investors are skeptical and tired.
Cash is king but there is no cash to be had.
And a SPAC that I was involved with couldn’t get its deal approved. The investors all wanted/needed their cash back. We lose our angel investment.
It is tough out there. Protect your cash. Save money. Be smart.
On investments, I am now in the mode of doubling down on winners; doing my pro-rata investment on deals that can get financed; or walking away from the bleeding corpse. It is that bad out there. No new investments will be approved or sought out for a long, long time.

Just One of Those Nights
Friday, February 6th, 2009Chris Clark had surgery yesterday. He will miss the rest of the season.
Brent Johnson is about to have surgery. He most likely will miss the rest of the season.
Victor Kozlov is hurt and will miss a few games.
Brooks Laich is hurting after taking a shot in the calf.
Mike Green is on his way to getting his 20th goal as a D man.
Alex Semin got his 20th goal, three seasons in a row for him, after 15 seconds of the game starting.
Alex Ovechkin scored his 200th goal in just four seasons to put him in historic company, one of only four players to do so.
It was Military Night with the brass all out in full force.
We laid an egg in an exciting game to watch but a game that was played down a level instead of playing up to our high standards.
We will shake it off and get ready now for a very tough game against Florida on Saturday. They are sneaking up on us in the standings and we play them five more times this season. They will play this game like it is a playoff game. We must be ready to match their intensity.
