hey remember for a dot bomb to happen there has to be a dot bubble to start.

Those of us that invested in the companies and switched our ivestment to those that had a profitable business model (ebay) or a large barrier to entry and a massive 1st mover advantage (amazon) or dumped the stock and bought up bell weathers like (microsoft)

made out like bandits.

It's a different time EB. The dot com days of sucking hundreds of millions and living large on it are over and long gone.

Anyone pulling public money now has to be proven and solid as a rock on their business plan.

you're assuming i lost money in the .com bubble burst... i always invest in my own stuff and you are right, it is the only thing that has been highly profitable in the long run..

not assuming anything about you, how would I know

just a general statement

see when many people ask me "hey I have cash I really want to invest asap blah blah" i know trouble ahead because I got nothing to do with their cash but im sure someone will grab it using some lame business plan.

I don't know about a "dot com boom"
But majority of the population will become computer literate in the years to come.

Competition and saturation is not a good thing my friend.

No matter what happens, I will continue to diversify by investing in a variety of online and offline ventures!

My prediction: Another dot bomb within 3 years
