@vkhosla You can have private property rights while allowing others to the freedom to enjoy nature, via 'right to roam' or 'right to responsible access'. I would argue @vkhosla actions are both (a) ignoring his noblesse oblige and (b) contributing to the breakdown in civility.

@gregkero @MikeDUnderhill @CliffordAsness HFs take carried interest based on marks, regardless of what their investors receive. The PE-VC crowd only take fees when cash is actually returned to investors. Seems like @CliffordAsness really, really, really wants to prove his daily volatility marks represent reality.

@CliffordAsness Graham and Buffett don't believe the LAST PRICE represents value, so it's not awful if other investors don't as well. Also, price volatility (flow of funds) rarely matches value volatility (value of enterprise based on sales/EBITDA/etc). It's difficult to get these in sync.
