		<description><![CDATA[Maybe it&#8217;s because the financial markets are currently having mild schizophrenic episodes, but the hedge fund that uses Twitter as a guide as to where to invest finished its first month of trading at the end of July, and it not only returned 1.85% in that time, but it also beat the S&#38;P 500 during the same period. In other words: Social media may genuinely be better at reading the financial market than the experts. In the same period that Derwent made 1.85%, the average hedge fund only returned 0.76%, while the S&#38;P 500 fell 2.2%. Admittedly, one month isn&#8217;t necessarily a long enough period to make any sweeping statements, but it&#8217;s definitely a strong sign that Derwent Capital, the fund founded by Paul Hawtin back in March, can successfully mine Twitter to predict the market and keep your money safe in the short term. The future has been all about social media for a while, but now it looks as if the futures are going there, too.

		<description><![CDATA[Webvan. eToys. Infonet. The Globe. Any of these names ring any bells? In the late 1990s, they were the Facebooks and Twitters of their day. The hot properties that everyone wanted a part of. They were worth billions, and now they&#8217;re nothing but internet history. If the thought of that bothers today&#8217;s tech investors, they&#8217;re not letting it show. Money &#8211; more of it than last time round &#8211; is flooding the tech industry. Yesterday&#8217;s New York Times article paints an uncertain picture. The writers point out many differences between the 1999 and 2011 markets, but quote a variety of fund managers and investors voicing concern. On the flip side, Hunch co-founder Chris Dixon wrote a reasoned argument that overvalued companies do not a bubble make: &#8220;During bubbles, investors stop valuing companies based on fundamentals and instead invest based on the expectation that prices will continue to rise and “greater fools” will buy the assets from them at a higher price. This process is unsustainable, which is why bubbles eventually pop.&#8221; In short, no-one can say whether we&#8217;re in another bubble or not. All we can say for sure is that last time tech companies got this big, this fast, their expansion was soon followed by the sound of a big bubble popping. It wasn&#8217;t even that long ago, and the memories are still raw for some. While many people remain very confident that the wider economic circumstances are more favorable, others are all too aware of history&#8217;s habit of repeating itself.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=73165&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[James Altucher writes great stories about his background in the world of investment, but his latest, 10 Things I Didn&#8217;t Know About Google reads like a secret history of the I&#8217;m Feeling Lucky search company. Read it, and you&#8217;ll learn not only how long the guy used to spend playing Defender each day, but also what Google&#8217;s first Tweet said, and how its founders Page and Brin tried selling the company to Yahoo! in 1997, for a knock-down million bucks. You&#8217;ll also learn how Altucher turned down the chance to invest in a little-known software company called Oingo. A couple of years later, shortly before its IPO, that same company was bought by Google. Altucher missed out on a $300 million dollar (or thereabouts) windfall. Hey, we all makes mistakes. And the thing about Google being called Backrub back in its early days? I already knew that.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=71548&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
