In some way it's natural, isn't it? VCs regularly have an IPO exit strategy that's been interrupted by the financial meltdown (and several new legal requirements) during the last years. And Kedrosky's observation is absolutely right: "investors competing to put money into companies that don’t need any more". - The impact on the financial system is dubious. Maybe people have learned some lessons from the dot-com bubble? Kedrosky does not seem to think so: "There was another suitor for these companies, and that suitor was us. We just didn’t know it yet."
