The spectacular Bull Market in high-tech stocks is the investment story of the decade.The numbers are astonishing. The Internet boom has created new household names such as Yahoo, Amazon, and America Online -- companies that today command billions in market value. Internet startups like Healtheon and eBay have seen their stocks sky-rocket over 3000 percent since their IPOs, and dozens of other Internet stocks have doubled, tripled, and even quadrupled on their first day of trading.Here is a market where:entrepreneurs like the thirty-something founders of Yahoo and Amazon become global billionaires overnight;money-losing startups command market valuations that make the captains of traditional industry cry their hearts out and tremble with competitive fear;and venture capitalists and investment bankers cash in big on companies barely out of the cradle.But individual retail investors -- the outsiders in this turn of the century roulette game -- are left to foot the bill, paying exorbitant prices for stocks that will end up diving off a cliff.TheInternet Bubble is the story of the turbulent world ofhigh-tech stocks, a place where fortunes aremade and lost in a day.
