Hold onto your wallet. Wall Streeters are moving to tech[1], as are retirement fund managers[2]. Bubbles only work as long as the Smart Money can profit by selling to more fools.

Silicon Valley is the new Wall Street
And before it was the new Wall Street in 2015, it was once before the new Wall Street circa 1999, the Frank Quattrone era.
Where do you think the money for VC funds historically came from? It's probably less Wall Street these days now that there is so much home-grown cash (Google Ventures being an example).
