Right on first point. Considering they are ranging the investment from public markets (nvidia) to large scale private investments like uber, I'd say they're banking on a ton of these companies going public long term to make the ROI worth it. As for some of these questionable bets, I think the goal there is the traditional unicorn moon shot type return where 1 of those investments will return the whole "pool of smaller investments". I wouldn't be surprised if they put the funding in to pools and divide up the risk like that. In general, I wouldn't be surprised if they invest in more public companies if they run out of late stage private bets to make. As for whether they create a bubble, you might be right. Like I said, I can't/won't try to comment on whether it's a bubble or not. It's just strange because we have a large foreign entity making large scale private bets in the valley as well as abroad.
