As to whether Moore's book influenced the market? Well, of course it's hard to distinguish cause, effect and coincidence. But given the sickening degree to which the term "gorilla" was being tossed around, I think the influence was significant. Not in its pure form as practiced by the elite, I grant you, but in numerous and remarkable derivative forms. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I thought it was on the bestseller list for a while too. Hey, let's not confine the 'bubble' in valuations to technology alone. Buzz through some other household company names that Moore didn't influence. Through it all - thus far: The biggest of them all, General Electric, rose to $60 and fell to $36. Coke rose to $88 and dropped to $42. Wal-Mart rose to $70 and dropped to $41. Home Depot rose to $69 and dropped to $34. General Motors rose to $94 and dropped to $48. (As GM goes, so goes the market, right?) Caterpillar rose to $66 and fell to $29. Callaway Golf rose to $27 and fell to $14. And on and on..... BB
