1987 was a different animal than this beast... if a crash occurs.. the economy is destroyed.. of that I am sure . whether there will ever be a crash? that I am VERY usure of.

~~I'm not convinced a crash will kill the economy. It didn't in 1987.. ~~ I don't think there were 500 public net companies and 1000 or 2000 other companies that had been bid up by the unlimited prospects of the internet. Having Japan in a full fledged liquidity boom helped quite a bit as US companies could sell off assets buildings, real estate etc. to the Japanese. I take it you are pretty sanguine of Y2K fall out to the global economy?
