	New Economy, TulipMania, Dotcoms and Thereafter
		This story of, what has come to be known as, Tulipmania is very much reminiscent of the recent dotcom mania, and rush for tech stocks.
		Tulips have no intrinsic value: the period when Tulipmania gripped the country was when plants and flowers were cultivated for their medicinal or herbal properties.
		During the peak of Tulipmania (1634-37), their value changed from day to day, and prices were quoted like shares and stock (the term "bourse" has its origin from the fact that the speculators held their meetings in the house of the noble family of Von Bourse).

	Tulipmania : Tulip Bulbs from Bloms Bulbs
		Tulips arrived in Holland around 1575 when the botanist Carolus Clusius became curator of The Hortus botanical gardens in Leiden - still open to the public today - and planted some seedlings in the sandy soil of the gardens and was thrilled with the results.
		At the time of Tulipmania the 'Rembrandt' or 'broken tulips' were the most coveted bulbs.
		Spending time every Spring marveling at the intense colour and exquisite variety that tulips bring is a reminder of why we all still suffer from a touch of madness, a touch of tulipmania.

	Tulip mania - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		They did this by simply relieving the futures buyers of the obligation to buy the future tulips, forcing them merely to compensate the sellers with a small fixed percentage of the contract price.
		Given data about the specific payoffs present in the futures and option contracts, the authors determine that tulip bulb prices in fact hewed closely to what a rational economic model would dictate: "tulip contract prices before, during, and after the 'tulipmania' appear to provide a remarkable illustration of market efficiency."

		Indeed, there are records of prices paid 100 years after the "collapse" of tulipmania which indicate that values declined by no more than 2% per annum.
		According to Garber, this was decidedly not the case in Holland before and during tulipmania.
		Garber makes a good case that tulipmania was mostly a hoax --- of later historians.

		Sometimes they are triggered by inexplicable phenomena, such as the spontaneous tulip craze in the Netherlands in the 1630s, or are kindled by the manipulative actions of individuals or corporations, as in the case of the 1720 South Sea Bubble.
		Here are five examples of historic speculative bubbles: the Dutch Tulipmania (1634-1638); the Mississippi Bubble (1719-1720); the South Sea Bubble (1720); the Bull Market of the Roaring Twenties (1924-1929); and Japan's "Bubble Economy" of the 1980s.
		Perhaps the most famous example of a speculative bubble is the "tulipmania" that struck 17th century Holland.

		These are all valuable records of the aftermath of the past few years, but too often the underlying theme is that we were caught up in a 20th century Tulipmania.
		To liken our recent Net frenzy to the 17th century's Tulipmania is to basically say nothing of value came out of the experience.
		After all, the traffic in tulips was all speculation on the prices of bulbs, which were beautiful and rare, but they didn't really add anything tangible to the Dutch economy or society.

	Only Yesterday: Is Internet Stock Craze Tulipmania All Over Again?
		In his 1841 book, Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds, Charles MacKay describes several investment schemes gone awry, including Tulipmania, the Dutch flower frenzy that redefined European garden styles while making and breaking huge fortunes (for more info, go to the Website of Barnes and Noble).
		Historians now refer to Tulipmania as a "misguided enthusiasm" of the past since after the great fortunes were made on rising tulip prices in Holland, the subsequent collapse of the market threatened Holland's very economy.
		Intensely emotional speculation has marked the impending top of many an investment bull market, and it is possible that the Internet craze is the modern-day version of Holland's Tulipmania nearly four centuries ago.

	Botany Photo of the Day: Tulipa urumiensis
		The story of the tulip and the economic bubble of the 1630s in The Netherlands is well-known, but worth revisiting from time to time.
		Not only was it not discovered until nearly three centuries after the event, but it is also a “species tulip”;, i.e., it is recognized as a natural species and (accordingly) has no history of human-induced hybridization.
		The tulips of Tulipmania were seemingly all hybrid tulips, many generations removed from their natural cousins.

		The Dutch wagered the weight would be higher, and when sold, the extra weight was their profit.
		All mania ends in sadness, and when the market for bulbs collapsed, many were left bankrupt, and tulipmania became, once again, only a rich man's game.
