Happy (non-authentic) Cinco de Mayo... * Could Skype get scooped up by Facebook or Google, rather than go public? * End of an era? LinkedIn spurns Nasdaq for NYSE. Of course, that could s0on become a distinction without a difference... * Bloomberg on Glencore: "For Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Morgan Stanley... the year's largest initial public offering represents a nightmare come true: the rise of unregulated rivals." * Morning Call: U.S. futures point lower, London edges higher, European shares skid and China shares fall. * Doug Kass begins to turn bear * Nic Brisbourne: How does a VC think about exit strategy? * Be sure to sign up for Term Sheet's morning emails, by going here * Mike Allen: The White House is gearing up for a major push on corporate tax reform * KKR may have cracked the Fortune 500, but it's only #4 on PEI's list of the largest private equity firms * Tomorrow is the flash crash-iversary, and Tom Lauricella reports that high-speed trading is on the decline * Things that make you go hmmm... Tim Armstrong's rambling explanation for what AOL is doing with Patch * ZipCar co-founderRobin Chase heads to Europe, to launch a new company that mixes car-sharing with ride-sharing * Tweet of the Day: @nihalmehta: "what's cooler than $5M pre? $5B pre." RT @bryce: $15M pre is the new $5M pre. * Quote of the Day: Meredith Whitney on her muni bond call: "I have more conviction on this than I've had on any single thing in my career."
