	Dot-com - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Historically the dot-com boom can be seen as similar to a number of other technology inspired booms of the past including railroads in the 1840s, radio in the 1920s, transistor electronics in the 1950s, computer time-sharing in the 1960s, and home computers and biotechnology in the early 1980s.
		A stock market bubble in financial markets is a term applied to a self-perpetuating rise or boom in the share prices of stocks of a particular industry.
		A bubble occurs when speculators note the fast increase in value and decide to buy in anticipation of further rises, rather than because the shares are undervalued.

		THE SO-CALLED DOTCOM Boom and Bust has to be looked at in the light of bottom line reality: with stunning efficiency, at relatively little cost - a few billion dollars - the credibility of the Net, to independent businesses, and to a generation or two of independent creatives, was destroyed, burnt down to the ground.
		Hopes were driven skyhigh, then brought crashing down.
		When the "Bubble Burst", it represented a catastrophic emotional, financial and infrastructual failure.

		Of course, when I drew this strip in summer 2000, the "dotcom bubble" was in full force.
		I'd like to claim a certain amount of foresight in having known that the whole thing was, well, silly and childish (and written a strip like this, placing my silliest and most childish character right at the center of it).
		That, I think, is what really made idiots of a lot of people during the dotcom years--their desire for power, or money, or to be part of something exciting, overwhelmed their good sense.

		The dotcom run-up was not accompanied by the general euphoria the normally accompanies bubbles - which of course suggests that the dotcom run-up was not a bubble at all.
		In fact, during the dotcom boom, a large cadre of highly qualified and articulate investment professionals always and loudly preached that the whole thing was a stupid and expensive mistake.
		And, yes, recent history has shown that most of those dotcom investors were making some big mistakes, at least as to the timing of the arrival of an internet-dominated future and the prospect that a particular dotcom portfolio might contain at least a few winners, or at least survivors.
