💻 The Dotcom Bubble!
📆 In the late 1990s, internet companies witnessed an explosive rise. Everyone was investing, speculating, and hyping up the "new economy" — but it couldn’t last. The bubble burst in 2000, triggering massive losses and a market crash. What triggered it? 🔴 Overhyped internet stocks with little to no profit. 🔴 Venture capital flooding untested companies without solid business plans. 🔴 Investors were chasing growth, not profitability. 🔴 The dream of endless tech profits — until reality set in. What followed: 🔢 The NASDAQ lost nearly 80% of its value from 2000 to 2002. 🔢 Dotcom companies like Pets.com and Webvan collapsed. 🔢 Some companies, like Cisco’s shares, still haven’t reached their all-time high since 2000. 🔢 The crash set the stage for the sustained growth in technology that we see today in companies like Amazon, Netflix, Microsoft, etc. What it taught us: ❌ Speculation can create bubbles, but only a few can survive the crash. ✅ Sustainable growth and solid business plans always win in the long run.

According to chat-gpt : Here’s a researched, factual historical perspective on who (if anyone) predicted the dot-com bubble before it burst, and what analysts did (or failed to do) during that era: 📉 1. Analysts or Strategists Who Warned About the Dot-Com Bubble Barton Biggs — Early Public Bubble Call - Barton Michael Biggs, a well-known money manager and founder of Morgan Stanley Investment Management, publicly called the U.S. stock market “the biggest bubble in the history of the world” in mid-1999, before the Nasdaq peak and crash in 2000. His remarks were widely dismissed at the time but proved prescient. Jeremy Grantham — Skeptical of the Bubble - Jeremy Grantham, co-founder of GMO, is famous for anticipating the rise and eventual burst of the tech bubble. He took a bearish stance in the late ’90s and warned about overvaluation. Grantham has since discussed how the internet bubble was characterized by extreme valuations and speculative behavior — and that sentiment was irrational. John Hussman — Bearish Valuation Measures - Economist and fund manager John Hussman also anticipated the collapse before dot-com burst based on valuation models and became quite bearish in late-1990s markets. His emphasis on historically high valuations helped him see risks others ignored. Robert J. Shiller — Academic Warning (Not Exactly a Sell Signal) - Robert Shiller, economist and author of Irrational Exuberance, warned of overvaluation in U.S. stocks and the internet sector around early-2000 using valuation metrics like the CAPE ratio. His research noted the market was detaching from fundamentals. - 2. What Most Analysts Actually Did Contrast with the above forecasters, mainstream sell-side analysts and firms did NOT widely predict the bubble before it popped

$1M cash or $200K in semi-passive income per year? What would be more life changing?
Recently, I am trying to do a thought experiment What would be more life-changing? Option A: $1M cash where you can invest it Option B: $200K per year, mostly passive income I guess the straightforward answer would be depending if you can make 20% per year from the $1M cash. But I think the answer to the question is more complex than that. Some people might prefer $1M cash to start a business or pursue another opportunity Some people might prefer $200K passive income so they don't need to worry about income and go travel Which one is more valuable to you?

I will take the 200k a year, if it’s guarantied and for as long as I live( hopefully inflation adjusted). 🤓 Because I don’t think I can use 1M to make a 200k /year ( mostly passive) with 0 risk for life.

AI News - Head of Anthropic’s safeguards research just quit
The head of Anthropic’s safeguards research just quit and said “the world is in peril” and that he’s moving to the UK to write poetry and “become invisible”. Other safety researchers and senior staff left over the last 2 weeks as well... probably nothing. We live in interesting times.
