I'm of the opinion that dotcoms were a huge gap in the market and those that jumped in it first took the cash home. But like any fad, the market calms down and the whole thing is over.
This happens over and over in all sorts of markets, it happened in communications and then mobile comms, it happened way back with trains and then underground railways.
It will happen again in the IT world, probably repeatedly, but it won't be dotcoms. If I knew what it was going to be, I wouldn't tell you, I'd be down the bank getting a business loan. Unfortunately I don't and I'll just try to ride on the back of it when it comes .

at least in the US was too much money in the stock market looking for the latest fad. In fact, the latest stock market boom was a fad.
Now that everyone has been burned, maybe we can get back to the basics.

I agree - but I think from now on the companies that actually have a way to make money will be the ones that succeed.
That didn't seem to matter back in the Roaring 90's.

No no no no no no no no no.
How many times have I told you. You didn't make a mistake.
You were:
