For those of you around during the late 1990s, you might remember the dot-com bubble. From 1997 to around 2000 or 2001, internet based companies saw their stock values balloon to unmanageable levels. Mostly because internet based companies were a relatively new thing, and there was a rush to buy up stock on what could be the next big hit. There’s a whole lot of background into what caused the bubble, but the end result was a spike in value followed by a burst of the bubble.
The problem was not everyone can win big in the same marketplace.
