What were the high flying tech stocks of the 90's?

Discussion in 'Stocks' started by gunslinger, Jul 22, 2009.

  1. As part of my thesis on irrational exuberance I want to illustrate the herd mentality of the late 90's, when the nasdaq doubled in less than a year. Though I was in the middle of it myself (a lowly apprentice on Lehman's desk) I forget many of the stocks that were doubling every month. For the purpose of this thread I am looking for stocks that went high and fell to zero or a few dollars, so a stock like Broadcom is not what Im looking for, but Etoys is.

    Thanks for your help in advance.

    INSP, BVSN, CNXT, Nortel

    The first three have undergone reverse stock split, probably to avoid delisting. The last one has filed for bankruptcy.

    You want winners? You want me to put my Cramer Berkowitz hedge fund hat on and just discuss what my fund is buying today to try to make money tomorrow and the next day and the next? You want my top 10 stocks for who is going to make it in the New World? You know what? I am going to give them to you. Right here. Right now.

    OK. Here goes.
