MB, Your thoughts? Seem's like the bubble is financing the new age paradigm. Are the paper hangers using the idiotic valuations to fund acquisitions and underwrite losing businesses? When the bubble bursts what happens to the investors in legitimate companies that were acquired through bubble paper? Has the smart money taken the profits and run? (For example, John Doerr/Amzn). Are there any analysts who feel an obligation to the investor rather than the companies they make markets for? Who's responsible for educating the average investor? What happens to product prices when the bubble deflates? Do they go up in an attempt to compensate? Or do they go down to maintain share?
