🚀đŸ€Ș "Web3 was the next big thing," they said, as they handed out seedphrase keychains like they were party favors from the '90s dotcom bubble. Fast forward to 2025, and surprise! 🎉 Turns out no one wants to collect digital ghost towns; they just want dollars that text like teenagers. Keep counting those , folks! 🩗💾

Um
 If memory serves, you did pretty well if you got into the market in 1997.

You just needed to get out a few years later

America's money managers are more bearish today than they have been in
nearly 30 years. Barron's latest Big Money poll of professional investors finds
32% of respondents bearish on the outlook for stocks over the next 12
months—the highest percentage since at least 1997.

🎈 Oh, look! Another nostalgic trip down memory lane by from the Silicon Underground reminiscing about the good ol' days of the dotcom bubble, when tech stocks were as inflated as a clown's balloon animal. 🎈 No groundbreaking insights here, just a reminder that some people are still stuck in 2000 while the rest of us moved on. đŸ€·â€â™‚ïž

39 years ago, Microsoft held its very successful IPO. Microsoft didn't need the money, but were essentially forced into it. It made Bill Gates filthy rich and put Microsoft on the map. The search for the next Microsoft led to the dotcom bubble. #MicrosoftIPO #BillGates #TechHistory #DotcomBubble #RetroComputing #SiliconValley #StartupCulture #1980sTech #TechMilestones dfarq.homeip.net/microsofts-19

Found some old CDnow.com stickers. The Internet's number one music store!

At the peak of the dotcom bubble, the company was worth over $1 billion. In 2000, it was acquired by BMG for 1/10th that amount. At some point shortly after that it was acquired by Amazon and turned into a DNS redirect to amazon.com's CD department.

El 7 de noviembre de 2000 el sitio web Pets.com cierra operaciones debido al colapso de la burbuja .com. la compañía había acrecentado su reconocimiento de marca a través de campañas de marketing pero debido a la mala planeación financiera y de negocios se fue a la quiebra.
Asi como ésta empresa miles se fueron a la bancarrota alcanzando el pico mås alto en el año 2000. Solo las mås organizadas sobreviviron.

So true.

I've done this job. There's much about trucking that I enjoyed a great deal. Plenty I didn't, too.

The timing was bad. I got into trucking because the took my job & all my prospects. But I still had teen kids at home. Very hard to be away 95% of the time & expect them to thrive & behave.

The logistics industry has long sounded the alarm over the shortage of I American truck drivers and the havoc it wreaks on supply chains, but
just why that shortage exists gets less attention. Millions of Americans are trained to drive trucks and choose not to. Long-haulers, lauded as the backbone of our economy, live out of their trucks for weeks at a time, often working eighty-plus-hour weeks while earning little more than minimum wage. The economist Michael Belzer has equated commercial trucking to working in a “sweatshop on wheels.” The shortage is, in fact, a retention problem: annual turnover at large fleets in recent years has exceeded 90 percent. “It’s a self- inflicted wound,” Steve Viscelli, the sociologist, former trucker, and author of The Big Rig: Trucking and the Decline of the American Dream, told me, “because the jobs are so bad. We don’t really have a shortage of drivers. We just have a shortage of people willing to live that lifestyle.”

Do you remember the good ol' days of the Dot-Com Bubble? And the Dot-Com-Crash that followed?

Back then, Sun Microsystems was one of the darlings of Silicon Valley. The company is credited with inventing Java, and many of the Internet's servers at the time ran on Sun hardware. Investors jumped in the bandwagon, which pumped the share price. People were buying the shares because they expected the share price to keep going up. This can look good — for a while.
A problem with speculative stocks is that the price ceases to bear a healthy relation to the company's potential future earnings. There's no way for the company to deliver enough profit to make the price you paid worth it. The fundamentals don't stack-up, and a crash is inevitable. With the benefit of hindsight, Scott McNealy, CEO of Sun Microsystems, was critical of speculative trading when the company’s stock price reached a whopping 10 times revenues.

You may think that was all just "tulip mania".
You may think sharemarket investors have learned from the dot-com bubble era.
You may think governments and banks would have changed the rules to prevent things getting so out-of-whack again.
You may think the "snake-oil salesman" tactics by Silicon Valley Tech-Bros couldn't create a disaster like that again these days...

Tesla's share price is being pumped by a fast-talking madman. Tesla's Price-to-Sales Ratio is currently about 9, and looks to be heading up to over 10 again, where it was from mid June to mid-July.

Nvidia's share price is being pumped by AI hype. Nvidia's Price-to-Sales Ratio is currently about 35, and looks to be heading up to over 40 again, where it was from mid June to mid-July.

“At 10 times revenues, to give you a 10 year payback, I have to pay you 100% of revenues for 10 straight years in dividends.
That assumes I can get that by my shareholders.
That assumes I have zero cost of goods sold, which is very hard for a computer company.
That assumes zero expenses, which is really hard with 39,000 employees.
That assumes I pay no taxes, which is very hard.
And that assumes you pay no taxes on your dividends, which is kind of illegal.
And that assumes with zero R&D for the next 10 years, I can maintain the current revenue run rate.
Now, having done that, would any of you like to buy my stock at $64?
Do you realize how ridiculous those basic assumptions are?
You don’t need any transparency.
You don’t need any footnotes.
What were you thinking?”

– Scott McNealy, CEO of Sun Microsystems, looking back on when the company’s stock reached 10 times revenues during the dot com bubble
