Real Venture Capitalists are now attractive to invest on

In a downturn such as this, when nothing is safe, the risk/reward of investing in a new business that you really understand, with people you trust, suddenly looks less out there on the risk curve.
ReadWriteWeb.com publishes an article putting forth the argument that in the current economic times, Real venture capitalists can for some investors, be a very safe asset class to invest on. The author makes the distinction between Real VCs and Momentum VCs, and picking the Real VCs to be the chosen ones to invest on. Calling Reals VCs contrarian, the author states that these VCs invest when most people are scared and sell when everybody is bullish. He compares Warren Buffet as a Real VC hero. The author goes further and compares the traditional safe asset classes that are popular during economic downturns and puts forth the proposition that they are not as safe for investing anymore.
