That chart only went up to 1996; it's over 100% now, isn't it? Our family is now totally debt-free except for some currently interest-free student loans. I paid off the mortgage two weeks ago. we own compact cars that get 35-42 mpg. House heating and cooling bills are low from insulation and seasonal shading. My only remaining cost-cutting measure is to die and be cremated.Then things will really be cheap! Of course, careful living has its penalties. 30% or more of what I pay for my daughter's tuition goes as scholarships for supposedly needy students, and it's not tax-deductible. Sometimes neediness is a result of owning expensive cars or boats. Well, back to the thread to see if anyone has any more suggestions for other bubble stocks. It occurs to me that probably each of these (AMZN, YHOO, AOL, in particular) has its own groupies and each stock is individually vulnerable to panic and crash without necessarily affecting the others.
