Boom or Bubble?

BOOM or BUBBLE? LET'S LOOK AT THE DATA Rampant speculation. Overvaluation. Unrealistic growth expectations. With such language being used to describe current market conditions we can't help but wonder-are we headed for another Dot-Com bubble? Here's the data so you can decide for yourself. VENTURE INVESTMENT IN TECH COMPANIES 1995-2011 Source: PWC/NVCA Moneytree report Although it may seem that recently (2009-2011) startups haven't had problems raising capital, the level of venture investment currently pales in comparison to levels during the .com bubble. A lot of people are talking about an early stage bubble, but even in early stage deals, we're nowhere near the .com bubble.

THE NASDAQ 100 INDEX 1995-2011 Source: Yahool Finance When most people think of the .com bubble of the 9o's, they think of the giant run-up in tech stocks. The pace at which the Nasdaq 100 index shot up (1ox in 4 years) was impressive and every individual investor wanted a piece of the action. Fortunately we don't seem to be approaching the craziness of that time.

These companies raised a lot of money, but they failed in spectacular fashion- sometimes in as little as a year. They had incredible offices, threw lavish parties, and generously paid their employees. They did not, however, have a market of customers wanting their product.
