There seems to be a lot of bad news in the market on a macro sense. I have seen some articles where Greece is near total collapse. The Euro situation doesn’t look good.

This is why people think there is a bubble in entrepreneurship. The other reason is that Obama has created this big apparatus called Start Up America and there is government money flowing into it. Where there is government money, there is you know what.

Apple($AAPL) has $97 billion in cash. That’s like one day of social security payments. (kidding)
