The sun is shining, the Fed is getting frisky and a big thanks to everyone who visited J's website last week. In other words, it's time for some brief Tuesday Talkback.

• First up were some emails on the IPO market, in light of Twilio's filing. Neal: “I think there are big differences in the tech and biotech IPO markets, timeframe and required capital being two. Any biotech company’s time horizon for delivery of a customer product is measured in decades and hundreds of millions of dollars. That gamble for investors is often binary: If the drug works, you know you’ll make back your investment and turn a profit. If it doesn’t, you lose everything. So the biotech company’s valuation is predicated on the percent likelihood of any of the drugs in pipeline succeeding.”

Larry: "I wouldn't pin my hopes to Twilio, a company where the CEO has already cashed in $15 million and gets over $300,000 in  salary (not including his millions worth of stock options). One reason startups used to pop after going public was that the public markets thought these entrepreneurs were hungrier than what was already in their portfolio. How hungry can you be when you're already fat on cash."

• Roy on LendingClub: "You refer to the board as 'cagey' in terms of public communications, but I think it either is being dishonest or really wasn't paying attention and is now trying to play catch up. Either way, it risks taking down other online lenders who (to our knowledge) are playing by the rules."

• Dave on the SV Angel situation: "Man - you missed low hanging fruit with 'the biggest split since another David Lee left Van Halen...' in the lede."

• Some emails on Donald Trump's concerns about a tech bubble: Vito: "No one cares what any of these candidates are saying because the electorate has decided that they are lying anyway."

Brian: "So do the socialists make more sense to you?? That seems to be what you are saying!!"

Aidan: "Trump's comments on tech stocks are, as you write, nonsensical. But they may connect to that Legg Mason survey about the American Dream. We're in a bizarro world in which economic pessimism is now appealing to vast sectors of the electorate, even those who have no objective reason to complain. Trump, and Sanders for that matter, understand this and are exploiting it expertly. Why not add fears of another 'tech bubble' on top, particularly since it came at the end of Bill Clinton's presidency? Pathetic of Trump to do it, but more pathetic of 'us' to reward it."
