>>>You know when Henry Ford started making the automobile, people scoffed at him, why?
Because there was no where to drive them.

Forward thinking is a problem on this thread.<<<

Ok, pencil neck geeky kid, you are a little confused here, the title of the thread is tulipmania blowoff, when will it end, not the internet, why it's a fad and when will it end =g=

the greater public was doubting the internets validity several years ago - but guess what the word is now out, i would say most tulipheads here were early adopters and way ahead of the john joe and jane public.

so many of the bull arguments here are centered around the technology change - who the hell cares - we all friggin know that damn technology is the best thing sinced sliced bread, nobody is arguing that, just when the overinflated greed driven bubble prices will crash and don't be so stupid as to think the tulipheads here don't play these pigs on the upside when the worm turns.

since the thread started we had a 38% crash in 8 days in January, and about the same in the period between april and august.

that's it, thats all, step up and place your numbered post for the gold and quit arguing silliness with the tulip gnomes.
