Fact
The tech boom was characterized by wild stock speculation and venture capital investments Companies were often overvalued without solid business models March 9, 2000 marked the peak of market euphoria Nasdaq Composite peaked on March 10, 2000, having doubled in a year E-commerce eventually evolved along conventional business lines Large companies now dominate the sector
Opinion
The dot-com bubble's collapse offers a sobering warning for today's market. The parallel between then and now is concerning, with current market valuations often ignoring fundamental business metrics in favor of growth potential and market share. The widespread speculation and dismissal of traditional business principles mirrors the dangerous behavior seen in 2000, suggesting we might be heading toward a similar market correction. The overreliance on venture capital and the rush to invest in unproven business models is particularly troubling.
Core Sell Point
The current market euphoria and disregard for traditional business fundamentals eerily mirrors the dot-com bubble period, suggesting a potential market correction that could be as devastating as the 2000 crash.

The boom is more accurately described as a bubble, since it rested largely on wild stock speculation and freewheeling venture-capital investment that resulted in the often ludicrous overvaluation of sketchy internet companies. Established business practices -- for example, asking questions like "What do you guys actually do?" -- were being ignored by investors and VCs hoping to cash in quick on new models that often were no models at all.

The frenzy was built on what seemed to be the limitless potential of the internet as a cash cow for those daring enough to take risks. In the end, e-commerce did become a big deal, but it has evolved pretty much along conventional business lines.

Big companies predominate and smaller entrepreneurs with a solid plan can thrive. The Jolt Cola kids, and their skateboards and Foosball tables, have largely passed from the scene.

On March 9, 2000, however, the sky was still the limit. But the euphoria, built as it was on smoke and mirrors, couldn't last. And it didn't.

On March 10, the Nasdaq Composite index peaked, more than doubling its value of a year before. But then the slide began, and it was a precipitous drop, which is why March 10 is generally considered the day the bubble burst.
