DOT-COM BUBBLE BURST

By, Timothy Johnson

            The dot-com era was a time of huge profit and huge losses.   Companies went in and out of business in what sometimes seemed like days.   People would invest in a company the day of opening for thirteen dollars a share and come out with a four hundred percent gain.   The same person would lose it all and more the very next day.   With all of these losses, which out weighed the few gains, we must all wonder, what went wrong?   The dot-com bubble burst was a tragic event designed and set up by Wall Streets major investors and bankers.
