...recently, the managers of some top venture capital funds have started capping the amount any one investor can sink into them in order to diversify their investor base. So HMC was unable to invest enough of the endowment in venture capital to fully capitalize on the bull market...
...mails to correct the record--by which time Gore had long since gone on to the next attack. But on Thursday, after Gore volunteers handed out flyers in New Hampshire pharmacies accusing Bradley of being in cahoots with drug companies to keep less expensive generics off the market, Bradley's coordinator for the state, Mark Longabaugh, gave in to his frustration and authorized a flyer that looked like a prescription form.

That pervasive air of recklessness, combined with the infinite information available to investors, renders the Internet spectacularly ripe ground for speculation and securities fraud. And while...
Everything is easier on the Internet, including the once-arduous sport of stock market speculation. Unfortunately for two cyber-hucksters who made a quick $370,000 by circulating false rumors of a corporate takeover, technology has also made it easier for law enforcement officials to catch criminals. Wednesday, federal prosecutors charged Arash Aziz-Golshani and Hootan Melamed, both 23, with conspiracy to commit securities fraud, and the two face civil charges from the SEC as well. It was a stunningly simple plan: One Monday morning, investor chat rooms were abuzz with a tip that NEI, a down-and-out commercial...
