So Marc now knows it all?
Every day they keep asking him about stuff and then "Marc this" and "Marc that". I am about to switch morning cereal but gonna wait until he suggests one...
edit: noticed the negative votes, still wouldn't change a word.

So, even if you assume people like that are only of average intelligence, it's probably worth listening to what they have to say. i.e. if a tall guy at a concert starts running in a certain direction, you may want to follow him.
The annoying thing is that since he's on the HP board, he can't talk about HP (what is up with HP?) or any other big competitors. :(
What is "this stuff" exactly? All I know that he is very famous and had an illustrious past. Now they are throwing lots of money around trying to buy legitimacy as VCs. Maybe it's the sites I visit, but he's always in the news saying something.
He's Marc fucking Andreessen. He founded Netscape Communications, which he took public and then sold to AOL for $4.2B in 1999, becoming AOL's CTO. Then he founded Loudcloud, which went public in 2001, later being acquired by HP for $1.6B.
He's now a founding partner of one of the most prestigious software-oriented venture capital firms, Andreessen-Horowitz. Their investment portfolio includes Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare, Pinterest, and GitHub.
I'd say if any single person is equipped to understand the ebb and flow of the software industry as it relates to the financial markets, it'd be him.
I've done my research. Do yours, especially his timing and price entry points.
