nope. No more than your typical "hot company in a bear market" kind of hype. The sort of thing that made apple hot 25 years ago, but not enough to heat up a bad economy. We had an article in the local paper, which has a slant to try to put a good face on this crappy economy we have out here, that people were buying houses to cash in on the HUGE amt of wealth forthcoming from the Google IPO. Get real, Google has maybe 600 local employees, and one 36 billion dollar IPO was happening every 6 mos in the 90s. Maybe companies like juniper weren't coming out of the gate at 36 billion, because the traditional system of IPOs in the 90s was to release at an artificially low price, but by the end of the day they had their valuation. Or within 6 mos anyway. Now THAT is hype. And it went on for a decade, because business was that good. this economy seems like we are going back down. Oh joy
