A minor correction: 56 kbps didn't meant kilobytes per second, but kilo_bits_ per second. So the theoretical download speed on a 56k modem was 7 kilobytes per second, but phone line quality meant that at best you could only get 4.
well then the minneapolis st paul metro area had really good phone service. i regularly got 5.+ with qwest and at&t and sprint. u.s. robotics modem tho, all the other modems were stuck at 3-4.7
And I used that song to win Student President in 1999 It was being played in 99 and we WERE partying- he's right. Some ppl really thought it would be the beginning of chaos/ "end of the world"
I lived the Dotcom Boom and this was a very solid recap. The only thing that was new to me was Y2K. I really considered that just a sideshow to the bubble created from our collective "irrational exuberance." We honestly thought we were creating a New Economy that was immune to the boom/bust cycles of our fathers' economy. It sounds very naive today, but we were young and convinced the internet would make us smarter, more informed, healthier, more productive, and better global citizens. There are definitely many similarities to the economy of the last two years. But as a general rule, when historical valuations for fast growing software companies are 8-12X, and you are in a market providing 100-150X, you and everyone around should know you are in a bubble. 😉
Uhhhh y2k I remember that people were talking about it, I was 4 at the time....... I'm very surprised you didn't know about it since it was mostly adults at that time talking about it. I'm calling cap
Lol the key difference is, if the AI bubble doesn't pop, it will likely subjugate our species 😅 it's a doomed if you do, doomed if you don't kind of situation
Y2K: I was working on transport & logistics optimisation software in '99. Our full team got hired by a big transport company and we went with a tight, part no-cure no-pay contract and worked very hard to reach the first milestone: prove we could reduce the manually planned mileage by at least 10%. We did & got all applauded at the project acceptance meeting, the software outperformed our customer wildest dreams, we were on top of the world. Two days later we got the news our project was axed. I called my close contact at the customer, like wtf mate?? and he replied that the same day we did our presentation, the payroll sofware supplier walked in with a Y2K doom story and convinced the customer's board to agree to an obscene budget to fix it. That was a common story back then.
y2k was not a waste though, a bunch of people did huge amounts of work plus people had been warning about y2k since the 70s, on one hand its sad that people kept pushing that problem further along on the other ... thats just humans
Its tough - low interest rates persisted FAR longer than i ever thought they would. For housing i am seeing houses sell for 30% or more over asking all cash offers. Anecdotally i hear from local business leaders that they are getting blanket offers to buy up whatever they have. I see houses worth 400k selling for nearly 500k in areas where the median HOUSEHOLD income is only 60k It seems like madness on its face, but i honestly cant say how or if its going to end anytime soon. I mean something has got to eventually give right?
Ohhh that’s why I also landed up to watch it, I thought this guy has predicted fall in 2024 in 2022!!!! Must be some kinda wizard… now I know he’s just a cheater!!
Well this video aged well…it would seem like we are now officially in another bubble. It would be interesting to do a follow-up video to this. All of the global disruptions occurring right now might mean the recovery from this bubble’s pop might be quite a bit more difficult than 2000…
I don't think we are in a bubble now. In fact, if anything is correct as a bubble it would be the "everything bubble", which is not a bubble, but simply a recession. QT will last another 12 months minimum, so be prepared for pretty much everything to continue to go down for a long while. The winners will be those things that hold their current valuations (not gain), like real estate, and some proven tech. Of course, which ones are proven is a matter of opinion. So no point in calling anything out. But you won't be making money in the short term. Sitting on cash is probably the best move until the QT putters out.
@@Sadigziggi What if we get hit by a 10km wide meteorite? Well, we all die. I don't care about what ifs. My honest opinion is that we have more recession to enjoy for a while. Grab up more cheap stuff. But not now, we are in a bump. This will not last.
I was in elementary school at the time, but my dad was a computer geek, so Y2K was top of mind for me. However, I'll never forget something my friend said after being asked how glad he was that nothing major broke: "What mattered is that my Starfox game didn't get cut short."

Each and every stock market crash and correction in history has proved to be a buying opportunity for long-term investors. Eventually, a bull market always erases a correction or bear market decline.
Bubble is going to burst and it will inflate again and again in somewhere. I guess it is quantum computers that will experience the next bubble in the future, since it is quite promising and investing expectations will be quite high after cryptocurrency burst/covid-19 recession. Those people who gambled their savings will try to recover.
Just like today. Hedera Hashgraph and Solana will probably survive tho. Dotcom Bubble Veteran Google is backing BOTH of them.. Move how the experts move😉
You do a great job! I was in my 30's in the 90's as a software engineer. I helped mitigate Y2K on a team addressing more than a million lines of code. I watched the Dot-coms go crazy and then crash. I remember the hype and emotion of both-fear and elation and then relief and depression. Human beings do not seem to learn. We find it hard to remain sober and get swept away in the emotions of groups, trends, and fads.
I was just a child in the 90's but can say the Internet has ruined everything it created the recession in 2007 as everyone by that time had access to the Internet. The Internet has completely ruined the global economy
56 kiloBITS per second, which is 7 kilobytes per second. After packet overhead and dropped packets, you would be lucky to download a 3MB MP3 in 15 minutes.
15 mins? You couldn't utilise the whole speed usually it would download songs on napster at around 3-5kb/s it was brutal. You would stick 2 or 3 songs on to download and it would take all night. I remember downloading WWF matches as a kid and it would be downoading over several nights for a couple of hours each night. Going on the internet also tied up the phone line so usually you were only allowed on by your parents for an hour or two and night,
I worked for computer manufacturers and ISPs on the tech support phone lines in the late 90s. I can tell you that most people could barely get 33.6k. 56k was NOT the average, but I guess the example offered in this video is close enough. In early 1995, I had a 14.4k modem connected to a 386SX 16MHz computer w/ 4MB RAM running DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.11.
Exactly what I came back to write. Seeing it hit 3.9kps was like seeing the face of God! Downloading Quake took around 9 hours. I would start downloading a movie on a Friday night to watch Saturday evening.
@anything; everything yeah Napster was the original bit torrent type shit for illegal downloading of music and stuff. It became legend back in the day after metallica and a bunch of other ass hat musicians campaigned to shut it down. After napster was gone though new ones popped up. Kazaa and Limewire were the two main ones after that. They werent torrent sites they were programs you ran on your PC and you would be downloading peer to peer, so like if im downloading a song I was downloading it from another users PC who was sharing the files. You used to download songs only to find out it was actually some guys garage bands shit recording/demo track that they've renamed as "nirvanna - lithium" or whatever just to try and get people to download and listen to it haha.
As someone who works in data analytics (I code a lot so tech) I’m very worried that we are coming upon a new bubble pop in tech. I work for a more recession proof industry, doing analytics for a non-tech grocery chain company, but I still feel anxious. I really hate how many companies treat employees like disposable & how investors love layoffs. I’m glad I’m working in a more computer science role but I really have an Econ background in education so I can go back to that more if needed & my skills will transfer (economists code as well).
The jump in the quality of production in these vids in such a short amount of time is very impressive, I'm hooked and binge watchin em...well done people, well done...🔥✌🏻
@@rohitghali Underlying tech is Ethereum. The tech allows data transfer via blockchain rather than just the transaction data itself. In theory, you can build apps from it which rely on smart contracts for execution of encrypted data. Unlike Bitcoin, for obvious reasons, it's in unlimited supply. That makes it less valuable over time, unless the "killer" app is developed - but that "killer app" would probably be an international banking system, which would set it's own rates independent on the actual ownership of said coin.
@@gawbagecan that answer probably just confused me more as to what the value in an nft is lol. sounds like they are trying to recreate a system that isnt broken, except the new system just costs a shit ton of money to use.
I get so mad when people joke about Y2k. My dad wrote code for 3 years for HP. That's 3 Christmas mornings I didn't see my dad. Y2k didn't happen because people didn't see their families
Your dad was doing real work and solving an actual problem. But there were significant parts of the Y2K story that were greatly exaggerated and even straight up lies to sell magazines and software. When we make fun of y2k and call it a hoax, those are the people we're making fun of, not people like your dad.
I am a relatively young lad, but I remember when my friend download 1mb through internet and it took "only" 30 minutes and I was impressed how fast it was :D I couldn't imagined that those speeds or even faster will be available one day on a wireless system or even on a phone (and don't cost arm and a leg at the same time).
Great video! Learned a lot. Also, didn’t know Y2K could be such an issue for the date formatting in computers. A trivial problem of that time but such minute thing now. Also, something to look back and appreciate the effort went behind solving it.
I dont remember this at all. I was too busy pounding four Lokos and getting thrown out of bars for pissing in the kitchen sink. What a time to be alive.
Him: Yes, "that" Marc Andreessen Me: Who??? Also at 2:42 I think you mean bits not byes (not criticizing, just saying). Awesome video BTW. Very good presentation and I love the graphics.
2:41 56Kbps means Kilo bits per second, not Kilo Bytes per second. Bits are only 1/8th the size of a byte, which means it was actually 8x SLOWER than what you said in the video.
Amazing detailed video, I’m 35 and work in technology so I saw the times and my household go from a Pentium 1 to the internet and beyond! Who remembers Lycos!
I just graduated back in 2021, 1/2 of my CS graduating class didn't survive and end up doing non computer stuff at all in their career. Gone were the super good pay and of course we were barely surviving till probably around 2006 or so. Watching your video reminds me that today's COVID is back then's Y2K, today's crypto is back then's dot com, and today's China Evergrande is back then's Japan entering recession. So my guess is after COVID is finally over the stock boom is going to end.
Oh, BTW my first job in 2020 had a new grad salary of $50k, after the bubble pop I found a job 1 year later for $36k, it was something I couldn't survive on for long, then 3 years later it became $56k in another company, then in another 3 years it became $90k. Now the new grad salary is about $80k in the similar field but in FANG I heard you can get $120k, and those senior engineers in FANG get like $350k.
Loki is out and I am here, on your channel, bing watching every video you have posted. That's amazing man. Your channel definitely deserve way more subscribers than it has already. Love the content, love the script, love the execution! Thanks for sharing ;) :D
All it'd taught me was there was so much variables and each of those variables is like a professional profession like a doctor or engineer, it'd need so much research or you're already too rich to lose a significant enough amount if your try, failed.
"Party like 1999" was a saying that started in 1982 with a prince song..... I remember it was popular to say in the early 90;s. So the actual things that happened in 1999 have nothing to do with that saying
This combined with super low interest rates continuously created a culture of blind investment in the start of sphere. A lot of start ups were only selling and idea and not even a product but it didn’t matter as long as big tech was buying up any company. The reason 1 in 5 start ups make it is cuz must of them are like this. The companies that make it though this will be worth investing in. Just like Amazon was during the tech bubble crash.
Could you compare the browser wars to Layer1 wars going on right now ? Hearing the way he talked about intellectual network applications just makes me think of all these L1s . Shits hella similar it’s crazy
This pre-2K craze had also attracted scammers like Syncronys, which promised that their program SoftRAM would allow to store twice as much data in the (very expensive) RAM (which it didn't, it just enlarged the Windows swap file on the hard disk). The main aim of that company wasn't to make functional programs; it only wanted to attract enough buyers that their penny stocks would grow exponentially, then they would take the money and run. Only that they got intercepted by some PC tech magazines, that got suspicious when they noticed the rather unlikely feat that Syncronys claimed to have achieved, and started investigating.
We spent a lot of money on Y2K as an industry. Had we fixed it when we first identified it in the 70s, it would have cost millions. WE rushed to fix it in the 90s, and spent hundreds of billions collectively to do so
This video is by far the most AMAZING video you guys have ever made! the amount of work that was put into it is so obvious on how high-end and valuable it is. great job Caya and the whole team behind it ❤
This vlog is so timely! The dot com bubble was internet 2.0 and those companies that survived are now worth Trillions of dollars. Blockchain or web3.0 bubble burst is about to happen and only those coins with utility and real value will survive and will become the new trillion dollars industry.
Back in 1999 my aunt demanded we all come out and be prepared to spend some time at her rural property because of Y2K. She had a well, food stock piled and ample wood for heating over winter. She was very worried the grid was going to collapse. Fast forward 21 years... I'm the prepper. I just wish I could afford a property like that. We don't see eye too eye on many things, but we can come together on having the skills, knowledge and frame of mind to take care of those we care about.
I snuck down to the basement while everyone was counting down to New Years on Y2k at the party I was at, and switched the power off when they got to 0.
Very good video! It seems I’m a bit older than you (I graduated in 99 and was in the during this time). You hit the nail on the head and brought back a lot of memories as flash backs. I don’t know if we are in the exact same situation, however there is an old saying worth keeping in mind - “History may not repeat, but it sure does rhyme.”
As someone who is gen z and has no idea of the dot com bubble, I see companies that have a decent business that vastly overvalued like door dash, roblox and spacs that have been overhyped. I’m wondering if it was the same for companies in the dot com era that actually had a decent business but very overvalued, did they get popped too?
@@jackchen1717 Well I can't speak for everything (I worked in the Auto industry back then and didn't watch the stop market like I do now), but I seem to remember Ford and GM being top 5 revenue companies which were considered highly profitable. Work Conversations in 2000 were about whether you should buy stock in GM at $100 because it was going to $150 soon. Needless to say by 2008, GM Traded at around $1. Now it is close to $50ish (And yes I still think it's overvalued). I make this point only because people point to companies like Netscape and the "Dot Com Bubble" and I just remember the whole market having a ton of Euphoria. It was almost like you couldn't lose money. Then as a society we got culture shocked that yes you could. This isn't to say you shouldn't have invested then, just like now its extremely important to do your own due diligence. I say this because even if you bought Apple at its peak during the dot com bubble, every dollar you spent toward it then would be worth over 100 today. So Best advice I can give is to take all media with a grain of salt, look toward the future and see what you think life is going to look like, then invest in companies with plans to get there and balance sheets to weather the storm, lastly continue to keep up on them to make sure your thesis hasn't changed. If you do that with even a couple of companies, you will likely retire far earlier and wealthier than others.
I can't get over how awesome the graph on the table for internet speed is. To render it and then interact with it like that is something I would expect on a main stream / high budget production on something like CNBC or something.
When you decide to try your hand at stock picking, its essential to do your homework. Your goal is to find a good value especially if you plan to hold on to an asset for a while.
Before putting full faith in a company, its best to do thorough research, reviewing a stock's fundamentals to monitor its viability and checking if it still has room in your portfolio.
Brian there are still great stocks on the market with big room for growth, and consistent investors with a steady approach should be able to seize opportunities created by the uncertainty.
The map that showed how countries write dates seemed to me to be backward: the U.S. uses Day Month Year (DMY) and the rest of the developed world uses Month Day Year (MDY), but the map showed the opposite. Am I seeing this wrong, or did the video misplace the abbreviations?
We got 56kbits/sec and often it was 48k if the line wasn't perfect. In bytes we got between 0 and 5kBps (theoretical Max in a perfect connection would be 7kBps. 56÷8=7)

In early 1995, I had a 14.4k modem connected to a 386SX 16MHz computer w/ 4MB RAM running DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.11.
Exactly what I came back to write. Seeing it hit 3.9kps was like seeing the face of God! Downloading Quake took around 9 hours. I would start downloading a movie on a Friday night to watch Saturday evening.
@anything; everything yeah Napster was the original bit torrent type shit for illegal downloading of music and stuff. It became legend back in the day after metallica and a bunch of other ass hat musicians campaigned to shut it down. After napster was gone though new ones popped up. Kazaa and Limewire were the two main ones after that. They werent torrent sites they were programs you ran on your PC and you would be downloading peer to peer, so like if im downloading a song I was downloading it from another users PC who was sharing the files. You used to download songs only to find out it was actually some guys garage bands shit recording/demo track that they've renamed as "nirvanna - lithium" or whatever just to try and get people to download and listen to it haha.
As someone who works in data analytics (I code a lot so tech) I’m very worried that we are coming upon a new bubble pop in tech. I work for a more recession proof industry, doing analytics for a non-tech grocery chain company, but I still feel anxious. I really hate how many companies treat employees like disposable & how investors love layoffs. I’m glad I’m working in a more computer science role but I really have an Econ background in education so I can go back to that more if needed & my skills will transfer (economists code as well).
The jump in the quality of production in these vids in such a short amount of time is very impressive, I'm hooked and binge watchin em...well done people, well done...🔥✌🏻
We figured we needed to do that if we wanted to get to those 1M subs
same here.... it was so visually pleasant to watch
What a magical time early internet was.

@Alan Silvestri, Pure gold comment, lol
8:39 I think the phrase "party like it's 1999" was coined in 1982... So I think it's more metaphorical than literal!
Crypto will be the next bubble. The survivors will change the world.
Exactly, so we have to chose wisely.
NFT
@@RaviShirpaliBeen in crypto for so many years, I still don't get what's the value in nfts...
@@rohitghali Underlying tech is Ethereum. The tech allows data transfer via blockchain rather than just the transaction data itself. In theory, you can build apps from it which rely on smart contracts for execution of encrypted data. Unlike Bitcoin, for obvious reasons, it's in unlimited supply. That makes it less valuable over time, unless the "killer" app is developed - but that "killer app" would probably be an international banking system, which would set it's own rates independent on the actual ownership of said coin.
@@gawbagecan that answer probably just confused me more as to what the value in an nft is lol. sounds like they are trying to recreate a system that isnt broken, except the new system just costs a shit ton of money to use.
I was there Gandalf, 3000 years ago... Jokes apart, I lived that period and it is amazing how you managed to nail the feeling of that era. Great Job !
I get so mad when people joke about Y2k. My dad wrote code for 3 years for HP. That's 3 Christmas mornings I didn't see my dad. Y2k didn't happen because people didn't see their families
I feel this
Your dad was just out getting cigarettes
Your dad was doing real work and solving an actual problem. But there were significant parts of the Y2K story that were greatly exaggerated and even straight up lies to sell magazines and software.
When we make fun of y2k and call it a hoax, those are the people we're making fun of, not people like your dad.
your Dad spent Christmas with his other family.
So true. I helped to fix the 2Yk problem for Ericssons AXE telephone switches and there were a lot of faults.
I am a relatively young lad, but I remember when my friend download 1mb through internet and it took "only" 30 minutes and I was impressed how fast it was :D
I couldn't imagined that those speeds or even faster will be available one day on a wireless system or even on a phone (and don't cost arm and a leg at the same time).
20:29 "Are you still watching"? WTF man, that was so interesting video, how could I not watch it fully xD
2002: OK, we learned our lesson

13:12 Thanks for touching on that. The US seems to like complicating things for no apparent reason.
It struck me when you opened with "all I cared about was my N64" - if only our parents stuck with fundamentally sound companies like Nintendo...
I have watched many videos, have read countless hours about dot com bubble but this video is the best summary of them all.
Thank you!

That mad man was Mark Cuban's put options on his own stock.

I appreciate that the video is 21:21 long
Great video! Learned a lot. Also, didn’t know Y2K could be such an issue for the date formatting in computers. A trivial problem of that time but such minute thing now. Also, something to look back and appreciate the effort went behind solving it.
08:40 “let’s party like it’s 1999” is not related though. Prince sang about that in 1982...
I dont remember this at all. I was too busy pounding four Lokos and getting thrown out of bars for pissing in the kitchen sink. What a time to be alive.
Tell your kids these tales one day. They will look onto thee, and proclaim "My Dad is a fookin' Legend"

Also at 2:42 I think you mean bits not byes (not criticizing, just saying). Awesome video BTW. Very good presentation and I love the graphics.
And here we are several years later in a different big bubble.
Great work, thanks. Just a note its kilo bit per second, not byte
2:41 56Kbps means Kilo bits per second, not Kilo Bytes per second. Bits are only 1/8th the size of a byte, which means it was actually 8x SLOWER than what you said in the video.
@00:26 is really all i knew too, so this video really helped to explain things a little better. Excellent video and well timed.
Ahh I miss being a 90's kid goring up, I miss I could go back to my childhood for all the awesome toys I had back then
Amazing detailed video, I’m 35 and work in technology so I saw the times and my household go from a Pentium 1 to the internet and beyond!
Who remembers Lycos!
I just graduated back in 2021, 1/2 of my CS graduating class didn't survive and end up doing non computer stuff at all in their career. Gone were the super good pay and of course we were barely surviving till probably around 2006 or so. Watching your video reminds me that today's COVID is back then's Y2K, today's crypto is back then's dot com, and today's China Evergrande is back then's Japan entering recession. So my guess is after COVID is finally over the stock boom is going to end.
Oh, BTW my first job in 2020 had a new grad salary of $50k, after the bubble pop I found a job 1 year later for $36k, it was something I couldn't survive on for long, then 3 years later it became $56k in another company, then in another 3 years it became $90k. Now the new grad salary is about $80k in the similar field but in FANG I heard you can get $120k, and those senior engineers in FANG get like $350k.
Loki is out and I am here, on your channel, bing watching every video you have posted. That's amazing man. Your channel definitely deserve way more subscribers than it has already. Love the content, love the script, love the execution! Thanks for sharing ;) :D
Loki can wait 😉 Glad to have you here! Feel free to share our stuff so more people can enjoy it too.
All it'd taught me was there was so much variables and each of those variables is like a professional profession like a doctor or engineer, it'd need so much research or you're already too rich to lose a significant enough amount if your try, failed.
Stunning graphics and approachable delivery - makes for compelling viewing. Exceeded expectation. ✅
"Party like 1999" was a saying that started in 1982 with a prince song..... I remember it was popular to say in the early 90;s. So the actual things that happened in 1999 have nothing to do with that saying
Yeah, it was about predictions of the world ending in the year 2000. Party like 1999, in other words, party like the world's about to end.
This combined with super low interest rates continuously created a culture of blind investment in the start of sphere. A lot of start ups were only selling and idea and not even a product but it didn’t matter as long as big tech was buying up any company. The reason 1 in 5 start ups make it is cuz must of them are like this. The companies that make it though this will be worth investing in. Just like Amazon was during the tech bubble crash.
I'm surprised your thumbnail nailed the timing ... unless you updated the thumbnail to this year

This channel is top shelf! Thank you for your informative videos!
I enjoyed this apart from "they don't say party like its 99 for no reason", you're right we say it because of the song released by Prince in 1982.
This!
Cool video, but why not do a story about the evolution of online video... that I began in the mid 1990s?
Thanks for making us re-live this important event. The production of this documentary is amazing too.
Thanks, Prince! Hoping to raise the bar to these videos from now on.
Well, you timed this vid almost perfectly. I'm refreshing my memory.
This pre-2K craze had also attracted scammers like Syncronys, which promised that their program SoftRAM would allow to store twice as much data in the (very expensive) RAM (which it didn't, it just enlarged the Windows swap file on the hard disk). The main aim of that company wasn't to make functional programs; it only wanted to attract enough buyers that their penny stocks would grow exponentially, then they would take the money and run. Only that they got intercepted by some PC tech magazines, that got suspicious when they noticed the rather unlikely feat that Syncronys claimed to have achieved, and started investigating.
This was a great video man im 36 and i grew up in the 90's i remember so much you just showed
I lived and lost in the 2000K bubble. He told it perfectly.
We spent a lot of money on Y2K as an industry. Had we fixed it when we first identified it in the 70s, it would have cost millions. WE rushed to fix it in the 90s, and spent hundreds of billions collectively to do so
This is absolutely incredible. I've always wanted to really understand why and how the dot com bubble happened
Amazing! Thanks for the comment.
I see alot of simularities with the crypto market. Weve had 2018 but the next one will be worse. Only the coins with real value will survive.
Nice effort guys. Perhaps you should do an updated one of the current condition

what's the name of the intro song, the first minute of the video? TIA
This video is by far the most AMAZING video you guys have ever made! the amount of work that was put into it is so obvious on how high-end and valuable it is. great job Caya and the whole team behind it ❤
Our pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it.
This video is aporossimative! Where were you in 2000? I may have the answer
He was spot on; tons of stocks spiked during Covid, but then plummeted after
This vlog is so timely! The dot com bubble was internet 2.0 and those companies that survived are now worth Trillions of dollars. Blockchain or web3.0 bubble burst is about to happen and only those coins with utility and real value will survive and will become the new trillion dollars industry.
The n64 is a perfectly fine thing to care about
Back in 1999 my aunt demanded we all come out and be prepared to spend some time at her rural property because of Y2K. She had a well, food stock piled and ample wood for heating over winter. She was very worried the grid was going to collapse.
Fast forward 21 years... I'm the prepper. I just wish I could afford a property like that.
We don't see eye too eye on many things, but we can come together on having the skills, knowledge and frame of mind to take care of those we care about.
I snuck down to the basement while everyone was counting down to New Years on Y2k at the party I was at, and switched the power off when they got to 0.
Very good video! It seems I’m a bit older than you (I graduated in 99 and was in the during this time). You hit the nail on the head and brought back a lot of memories as flash backs.
I don’t know if we are in the exact same situation, however there is an old saying worth keeping in mind - “History may not repeat, but it sure does rhyme.”
As someone who is gen z and has no idea of the dot com bubble, I see companies that have a decent business that vastly overvalued like door dash, roblox and spacs that have been overhyped. I’m wondering if it was the same for companies in the dot com era that actually had a decent business but very overvalued, did they get popped too?
@@jackchen1717 Well I can't speak for everything (I worked in the Auto industry back then and didn't watch the stop market like I do now), but I seem to remember Ford and GM being top 5 revenue companies which were considered highly profitable. Work Conversations in 2000 were about whether you should buy stock in GM at $100 because it was going to $150 soon. Needless to say by 2008, GM Traded at around $1. Now it is close to $50ish (And yes I still think it's overvalued).
I make this point only because people point to companies like Netscape and the "Dot Com Bubble" and I just remember the whole market having a ton of Euphoria. It was almost like you couldn't lose money. Then as a society we got culture shocked that yes you could.
This isn't to say you shouldn't have invested then, just like now its extremely important to do your own due diligence. I say this because even if you bought Apple at its peak during the dot com bubble, every dollar you spent toward it then would be worth over 100 today.
So Best advice I can give is to take all media with a grain of salt, look toward the future and see what you think life is going to look like, then invest in companies with plans to get there and balance sheets to weather the storm, lastly continue to keep up on them to make sure your thesis hasn't changed.
If you do that with even a couple of companies, you will likely retire far earlier and wealthier than others.
I can't get over how awesome the graph on the table for internet speed is. To render it and then interact with it like that is something I would expect on a main stream / high budget production on something like CNBC or something.
Thank you!
When you decide to try your hand at stock picking, its essential to do your homework. Your goal is to find a good value especially if you plan to hold on to an asset for a while.
Before putting full faith in a company, its best to do thorough research, reviewing a stock's fundamentals to monitor its viability and checking if it still has room in your portfolio.
Most people just wanna buy any growth stocks they hear about, and a lot of stocks has underperformed lately.
Brian there are still great stocks on the market with big room for growth, and consistent investors with a steady approach should be able to seize opportunities created by the uncertainty.
With so much volatility in key stocks, it's kinda hard knowing which stock will do great or enhance ones portfolio, I've bought lots of bad stocks
Stock valuations have reached a level where a reckoning is only a matter of time
The map that showed how countries write dates seemed to me to be backward: the U.S. uses Day Month Year (DMY) and the rest of the developed world uses Month Day Year (MDY), but the map showed the opposite. Am I seeing this wrong, or did the video misplace the abbreviations?
This is a high quality video, well researched, made entertaining & interesting. No bait jargon. Well done man.
We got 56kbits/sec and often it was 48k if the line wasn't perfect. In bytes we got between 0 and 5kBps (theoretical Max in a perfect connection would be 7kBps. 56÷8=7)
