There are some interesting points here - especially about Capacity. Are many fund managers doing this already? Is this something confined to start ups?
Problems have been with supposed blue chips funds housed inside traditional shops. Too bad the suffering is so widespread and has to affect the rest of us.

Suckas. After selling off my Bear Stearns stock I’m heading to the Bahamas for some rest and relaxation.
