Yes, this is a very silly article. In fact, since it's saying that "50% of angel investors regret at least one investment this year", that could be taken to mean that the other 50% of angel investors are being too conservative with their investments: http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2013/11/loss-ratios-in-early-stage-vc.html http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2013/11/loss-ratios-in-early-stage-v... This assumes that angel investors have the same incentives as institutional VC firms do, which is not always the case, but I'm just highlighting how silly it is to have a headline that "only" 50% of angel investors this year have no regrets.
