"People widely recognize that Internut stocks are overvalued and are primarily the Las Vegas of the stock market where people gamble, not invest."

When, and I mean WHEN all those bloated market caps for the Internet stocks melt away, can't you envision-just for a moment-that the loss of all those BILLIONS in paper profits will cause a financial and psychological shock wave that could well reverberate through the markets and cause a chain-reaction meltdown? I heard that the P/E for the market IN GENERAL is in the low 30's-nosebleed territory. Pardon the mixed metaphors, but my take is that the Internet mania is just the icing on the cake of a wider house of cards. One can't discount the danger posed by one segment of the market as a possible "last straw".
