Its not really that long ago. And it ushered in and exposed how inept the Fed actually is. All those computer and internet stocks would have been incredible bargains after the crash and people would have started buying them for the eventual potential. But NO...the Fed needed to come in and drop the interest rates to zero three short years after the best growth the USA ever experienced. Dropping the interest rates created a Huge real Estate bubble and ended up bankrupting the USA. AND...the Fed has been printing ever since. The Dot Com era gave the Fed the justification to take control of the USD and debt creation. It allowed them a reason to fully print and create massive unlimited debt year in and year out.
