	10 signs you're in a tech bubble \| The Register

	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.

		From the Dutch tulip-bulb craze of the 17th century, to the locomotive revolution of the 19th, to the rise, fall and resurrection of personal-computer stocks and biotechnology stocks in the 1980s and 1990s, investors have fallen madly in love with -- and then madly out of love with -- the hot technology of the moment.
		Many modern-day tech investors reassure themselves that tech companies will do better than past bubble victims, because today's companies are leading a wave of revolutionary change that will transform society for years to come.
		So tech companies will continue selling gear, perhaps at a faster rate than utilities sold electricity and PC makers sold computers when their stocks were declining.

		Even the tech stocks are breaking down into the really hot ones, like Qualcomm (up 1,500 percent), Real Network (up 700 percent), or CMGI (up 700 percent), and the "older" hot high-tech stocks, like Amazon.com, Microsoft, Intel, and others, that have risen merely in the 50 to 100 percent range for 1999.
		The SandP high-tech sector is clearly in a bubble that is distorting both the allocation of capital and the behavior of the overall economy.
		But the rise in tech stocks has been spectacular enough to preserve 15 to 20 percent increases in the overall indices, and thereby to continue to support a high level of spending growth in excess of income growth.

		Those in the tech financing community have learned some lessons in the last five years.

		The bubble isn't the first period where people spent billions on what seemed like questionable technology at the time.

		Mainly this is against tech sentiment, nascent hope and unrealistic expectations for a repeat of the ‘get rich quick’ opportunity that the last boom afforded.

		One of the main lessons to be learned from the tech bubble is that a dishonest accounting system does great harm.
		This is all very reminiscent of the way tech companies tried to use their currencies to out-manipulate each other.
		With countries, since politicians are unlikely to keep their office if the citizens are not employed, they will have every motivation to devalue their currency and print up new money at the expense of the savers.

		Since free-market capitalism is so inherently unstable, they claimed, a prosperity as great as the second half of the 1990s -- or for that matter the seven fat years of the Reagan '80s -- just had to come crashing down.
		Then, as the economy began to slow in the second-half of 2000, firms re-evaluated their assumption and abruptly revised down capital spending plans." So, the demise of the tech boom was not so much over-investment as it was under-growth.
		It was not so much the speculative bubble as it was the collapse of GDP -- down from 9 percent growth two years ago to the present recessionary contraction.
