The comment linked below was posted in a reference to Biotechs, but I believe it is more applicable to your comment about the Internet sector.

Many 'nuts will fail. Some will make you rich. IF my skills have made tons for me in other areas of the market, why not apply them to the hottest area of the market with the most potential for high gains? Why waste the skills in a market segment where you might just outperform the market by 10%? To me, it seems foolish to continue to pound the people investing in the internet as fools and clueless. Maybe the vast majority are... but probably the vast majority investing in GE 20 yrs ago were clueless about how to run a business, but my parents have done very well with their GE shares...
