Back in August of 1995 the Dow had crossed 4500 and a lot of people were saying it couldn't go much higher.
On August 9, 1995 Netscape had it's IPO. It was priced at 28 and within just a few short minutes of trading it shot all the way to about 75 or so.
I can't remember how many commentators I heard saying that a raging IPO like that is a sign of a top. The word "frothy" was thrown around a lot, too.
But there was this one guy, and I just can not remember his name, but I think I saw him on NBR. But the host of the show asked this guy if he was in agreement with everyone who was saying that the Netscape IPO was a sign of the top, and he said that his reasearch did not show any evidence that a zinging IPO was a sign of a top. He of course turned out to be right. Could it have been Stan Weinstein? I really don't remember. If anybody has access to NBR archives, it would have been a few days after the IPO.
