The Internet bubble

the long version

"The Internet Bubble is the story of the turbulent world of high-tech stocks, a place where fortunes are made and lost in a day. This book uncovers the inner workings of an industry that increasingly thrives on greed and hype. It shows who is really getting rich, and how they use small investors to finance their empires.". "Silicon Valley insiders Anthony and Michael Perkins provide a behind-the-scenes look at the forces - and the people - stoking the money engine in the technology stock market. Most important, the authors show that, when the Bubble inevitably bursts, Main Street - not Wall Street - will take the big hit, unless individual investors take steps to protect themselves now."--BOOK JACKET.
