Unfortunately, I believe it will. I have no ill-will towards companies trading at realistic P/Es, but I have nothing but contempt for companies such as Ebay trading at 1600 P/Es or worse.

I've been on the internet before anyone here had ever heard of it, I'll wager. (anyone here on it before 1983? some of us start young) I built a business and profited from it, but not to the tune of 10 billion dollars. I intend to start another business in this industry because I enjoy it and I think the net can do a lot of wonderful and exciting things. But when these net stocks collapse in the greatest tulip explosion in equity history, it's going to make it harder for me to raise capital. After the crash, net stocks will be outcasts for years to come.

The bull's arguments about these companies always boils down to the same thing: "This time our bubble is different"

I disagree.
