Dave: << It could be that the Y2k mess brings down the entire market with the brunt being borne by high tech, overvalued issues such as Yahoo.>> If this were to happen, then market does not look only at yahoo, it will bring down the entire market down whether it is overvalued or undervalued. BUT the chances of this happening are 50..50...any way when we buy securities, there is no guarantee that they will go up all the time. Some people on this thread keep saying that yahoo is overvalued etc...but look at ebay, amzn....etc....they are much more overvalued than yahoo. yahoo and aol have positive earnings atleast....

>>Anyone know a sure fire way to figure out when the collapse will come? Will it coincide with Y2K?<< <Nope, if I did know, I wouldn't be wasting any of my time on these boards. But your comment about it coinciding with the Y2k mess has some validity to it. It could be that the Y2k mess brings down the entire market with the brunt being borne by high tech, overvalued issues such as Yahoo.> I was being somewhat facetious. I don't expect anyone to really know when the mania ends. However, I would be curious to hear some decent theories about what might bring about what many believe will happen. Anyone projecting a "soft landing" theory for the Internet sector is free to explain that too.
