AG,

the idea is amazing. It may raise questions about the sustainability of longer term upswing of internuts, and whether people are able to justify a scenario consistently in that the internet industry will not drop (besides the most frenzied forward revenues calculators, thanks to TMF).

Some more detailed issues here:

-The "look-back" period is?

...that makes these things fall 40% in a week?
or
...The five names that combined that would need to be down 40% from their peaks...

So do you mean:
The stocks should lose 40% from a traded high to the traded low within a sliding one-week window on an individual or joint basis.

Or should the five stocks be off 40% on average (price or market cap weighted), from their historical (recently set) peaks on a certain point of time (here: week).

-Reasons: Can the reasons for the drop be selected individually for each of the stocks or should it be restricted to a "major-disaster" event, concerning the industry as a whole.

-Percentage: Why did you select 40%, not 25% or 30%? Do you attribute that to the steeper gains and higher volatility, so that even values up to 25% can be treated as market correction, but 40% for the big issues as bear market?

That will help the people sit down and think about their investment style on a longer term basis.

C.
