Ken, great post! You are right on the money. The accounting shenanigans you highlight have not yet been priced into most of these companies. The analysts and individual investors are ignorant for the most part. The focus has been only on stock price (i.e. Company X is down 75% from its high, it must be undervalued) and unrealistic expectations of (managed) earnings growth. For the reasons you give, the tech correction will be a protracted one. Institutions/individuals will continue to buy on the dips. Air will slowly be let out of the tech valuation balloon as the issues you raise come to light. It will be many years before the balloon inflates back to where it was in early 2000.
