Absolute twit(ter)

Fred Wilson from Union Square Ventures, who runs the A VC blog in New York, went to a hedge fund event on Thursday and decided to twitter the event:

Headed to the semi annual meeting of a hedge fund of funds. Expect to get some insights and will twitter them

Observation: great hedge fund managers have come out of goldman, tiger, and michael price’s firm

Has the financial system crisis run its course? Most likely yes if banks and the fed keep doing what they are doing

Has housing in the US bottomed? Maybe not, but the bottom is nearing. Watch for change in expectations, not prices

What about the US economy? A tale of two cities. Not like past recessions.

Inflation? Watch out, its here and more is on its way driven by massive global liquidity of capital

Regional banks: look for a wave of regional bank failures. Fed won’t bail them out

To clarify that string of tweets and what follows: these are opinions I am hearing at a hedge fund event

Systemic risk is largely gone from the markets but economy risk remains. Market knows how to price the latter but not the former

@tweetipFH oil (and food) prices are creating big problems in parts of the economy…

Someone has got to blow a whistle on all this.
