Any idea what effect the spending because of Y2K had on the stock market bubble?. Probably a factor, but hard to quantify. By the time it became a factor the bubble was already well on its way. I think the main factor was psychological: the rise of the individual net-powered investor created an investing class that had never seen a crash and was convinced that in the "new economy" the crash simply wouldn't happen. this huge correction might have been much more moderate In absolute terms it wasn't that huge; look at some 20-year charts and see what it looks like. Of course it would seem huge if you were heavily invested in the most bubble-stretched net stocks.
