This was in my newspaper today.

VA Linux 1999 first day profit: 698% stock performance since: -99%
Globe.com 1998 606% -100%
Foundry networks 1999 525% -34%
Webmethods 2000 508% -74%
Freemarkets 1999 483% -81%


Now I understand a bit more why everyone was so into the stockmarket and trading back then.

Imagine owning a stock going up 500% in one day.

1) They're all "dot bombs". :eek:
2) That type of market may never happen again during your lifetime. :(
3) Smaller investors would not be able to participate in those IPO's in today's environment. :mad:
