Ah, but MSFT has hardly put NSCP out of business. They had $533mm of revenue last year (huge losses, but that's hardly relevant to internet stock investors). But, how many NSCP bulls, in that first week of December, 1995, expected to be hearing that kind of news about their beloved company? Probably a lot did think they had bought a piece of the future that they were lucky enough to still be able to buy for "only" $70 or whatever (and however many billions of market cap the high represented). Somebody had to buy the shares near the top or you wouldn't have made more money than on any other stock (or did you sell early and miss a lot of the ride up, making you want to hold on for that last buck or two now?).

Many on this thread love to compare the demise of NSCP's shares to what is going to happen to YHOO. What they fail to remember is NSCP acheived a valuation over $6 billion before it plummeted. YHOO is only half way there! (130 is my price target) Second of all NSCP had a much faster climb than YHOO did. NSCP more than tripled in just about 3 months, going parabolic. YHOO has had a much steadier, milder slope, and it has been sustained for over a year. NSCP reached it's peak in 3 months and has been downhill ever since. Just look at a chart of NSCP in it's first couple of years. It never built a base. It was either on an up zig or a down zag, but it never consolidated for several weeks. YHOO is acting a like a powerful growth stock, building bases and setting a solid foundation for movements higher. NSCP never acted like that. It shot up like a rocket and then came down without a parachute. Very erratic. Big difference...
