You said that right - the herd mentality. Wall St has a number of very smart people - but after all they are human and prone to the same human frailties as the rest of us.

As a result, when things were looking good, they poured into it and the stock doubled in 6 weeks in Feb-Mar 99. Now with the inet correction, broadband issues, blah blah blah ... the herd is staying away. And they have a tendency to blow everything out of proportion. Welcome to the real world.
