Buy on anticipation, sell on reality. That's been true long before Internet stocks came on the scene. The reason for the prior earnings runs is that shareholders anticipated "higher than expected" earnings. This phenomina will continue so long as shareholders anticipate "high" earnings. If shareholders ever anticipate "low" earnings, there will be an earnings dip instead of an earnings run. (Note that "high" earnings doesn't necessarily mean a profit, it is a relative term). As far as reason being "suspended", that's the kind of things analysts say. But these are the same guys that tell you to buy AFTER the stock has gone up, and then AFTER it falls tell you to sell. As far as I know, the word "analyst" (in the context of stock trading) is just another word for "stock salesperson". If you always believe the analyst without evaluating the facts yourself, then perhaps you should see an analyst (in the context of mental therapy).
