Mike and others, on the end of market bubbles....

I've heard it mentioned you've been through several investment mania time periods, with biotech being a recent boom/bust. I, unfortunately, wasn't tuned into the market during those time periods.

For context, I'm thinking of the internet stocks.

1. How quickly, in general, does a generic bubble burst?

2. Do the major stocks fall as far and as fast as the smaller stocks?

3. Does the broader market trade independently, or would a bubble bursting in internet stocks be expected to take the entire market down?

4. Biotech specific: What brought them down, and how quickly did it happen. How long did the bubble last?

Thanks for any comments from the thread.

Shane
