Overvalued stocks: Here is a company whose stock actually
climbed 2600% in a single year to over $800 a share,
but has since slid to as low as $22 (split adjusted
$88). The hype was high speed wireless Internet
access which was even touted by Bill Clinton (the CEO
of QCOM had a relationship with the former President).
Now investors are left scratching their heads and
hoping China and India will provide the necessary
impetus for the stock. Probably won't find it,
because the stock price was fiction. Meanwhile many
financial institutions, telecom industry players and
investors are left holding the bag. Yeah, high speed
Internet access may eventually appear, but at a cost
that has arguably helped put the economy in the grave. It might
be prudent to tell prospective investors to put their money
elsewhere--everyone that needs a cellphone might have
one, thanks. See the following links, etc:

"Clinton stood and maneuvered the mouse while Jacobs
showed how slow the wired connection was when compared
to the wireless one. It took minutes as opposed to
seconds."
