jeff, funny that you think in terms of relativity as if intrinsic value doesn't exist. everyone will act the same whether valuations are 200% higher or 20000% higher.

the fact is that the circumstances are VERY DIFFERENT than in 1996.

the valuation alone in 1996 was 38% of the current valuation so a pop of nearly 200% after such news would merely get us to where we are now.
