Wow - thanks for sharing. Interesting:

* ...the capital gains tax increases coming into effect in 2011 are might just lead to a stock market sell-off in Q410 as investors “lock in” gains at a lower tax rate.

Stock market declines equal lowering of wealth effects which in turn equals lower consumer spending and hits on corporate earnings. This affects M&A activities for startups, which with the reduction of the IPO market could spell lower returns in the short-term for technology startup investors.
