From the Paper
"Dazzled by the lure of rising stock prices and a burgeoning new technology, investors abandoned the long-held principles behind economic growth in order to profit from the tidal wave of speculation that accompanied the growth of the Internet. New stock offerings routinely sold at absurd prices and the relationship between stock prices and company earnings was considered outmoded by many business pundits.

From the Paper
" Comedy comes in many different forms, and in recent years standup comedy has come into its own. The growth in comedy clubs across the nation and the creation of new outlets on cable television give comedians more exposure than ever before. Styles of comedy change over time, and one of the reasons comedy changes as rapidly as it does today is television. Television uses up material and requires a constant influx of new comedians and new material to satisfy the audience. Comedy has been a vital element in network programming since the beginning of the medium. The massive ratings success of I Love Lucy in the 1950s produced a continuing search for the next long-running hit. A number of comedians have made their mark in recent years with innovative programs or programs that featured their strong points. Several have used their popularity on television as a springboard to.."

"The 1990?s were the bubble years, the dot.com era, or whatever euphemism suits to describe the booming years of Silicon Valley, Wall Street and Internet businesses. They were years that created millionaires literally overnight. Businesses that began in basements and garages by college kids, suddenly appeared on the trading boards of the Stock Market Exchange. It seemed that anything to do with computers turned to gold. American life became high-tech. Suddenly everyone had cell phones, from professionals to soccer moms and teenagers. And personal computers became a fixture in American homes. The Information Superhighway was up and running and Americans were encouraged, not only by advertisers, but even by the government to travel it. It was ?American? to log-on and surf the Web. The computer world was the darling of Wall Street and the express train to wealth and happiness for the American public. Moreover, it was an era of the young."

Most of the companies behind these highflying stocks had negative or zero earnings. (Perkins 200) A stock analysis statistic in which the current price of a stock (today's last sale price) is divided by the reported actual (or sometimes projected, which would be forecast) earnings per share of the issuing firm; it is also called the "multiple.?

Abstract
This paper discusses how many believe the root cause of the dot-com crash was overvaluation of stock prices relative to the actual underlying value of the companies themselves. It explains that stocks of internet companies traded at Price-Earning ratios of higher then 30, buoyed by a speculative bubble. When reality set in for investors, many realized that the companies that they were so heavily invested in were little more then money sucking black holes with no upside potential in the near or long term future. It explains how this in turn triggered mass sell-offs of not only internet related stocks but soon impacted the market value of many companies associated with computer, network or telecommunications industries. This paper shows, in fact, that overvaluation was more a symptom of the speculative boom and was only one of the multi-faceted factors that contributed to the internet boom turning into the Internet bust.
From the Paper
"The casualty numbers for dot-com mania are staggering. In the year since April 2000, the technology-heavy Nasdaq has lost more than $2 trillion in value. Once high flying companies like Excite.com, have disappeared off of the charts, busted, bankrupt and out of business. During the last 36 months, 93,079 Internet-related jobs have been cut nationwide (Cassidy 2002). At least 4,854 Internet companies have either been acquired or have shut down in the three years since the dot.com investment boom peaked in the first quarter of 2000. Of these 4,854 plus Internet companies, at least 962 of them have been substantial Internet companies who have either shut down or declared bankruptcy. Unemployment figures for the San Francisco bay area, once the engine that drove the Internet economy to dazzling heights, now hovers around 7 percent (U.S. Department of Labor)."

The paper shows, giving examples, how the film utilizes a predominantly classical narrative strategy but that it includes innovative production values and story telling techniques, which are characteristic of the modernist narrative approach.
From the Paper
"Mathew Parkhill's "Dot The I" utilizes a limited third person narrative and complimentary elements of montage and mise en scene, which leave clues that inevitably lead to the conclusion that Carmen, the main protagonist, is a naive hero. The film utilizes a predominantly classical narrative strategy but includes innovative production values and story telling techniques, which are characteristic of the modernist narrative approach."

Technology stocks began to plunge and there was a complete turn around in the mood of the Investors. Investors were demanding profits and were no longer willing to be patient with the dot com companies. WebHouse was turning in a loss on every transaction, profits were a far off dream.

Introduction of New Media, 2006.
A discussion regarding 'in with new media and out with the old.'
1,575 words (approx. 6.3 pages), 3 sources, $ 62.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper takes off from the recent dot com boom and bust to ask questions about the introduction of new media The paper notes that the experience with the dot coms showed results that differed from the development of other media earlier in the century. The experience with cinema, radio and television in North America showed that the new media is developed along more rational lines and that a hint of irrationality was shown toward the fate of old media for in each case it was predicted that the old media would disappear and be replaced by the new.
From the Paper
"The business of the mass media has developed beginning in the nineteenth century and accelerating along with increased competition through the twentieth century. In the 1990s, a period of "dot.com" excitement created a market boom followed by a market crash among Internet-based high tech industries. This event was one of the prime examples of what then-Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan called "irrational exuberance" as anything attached to the Internet was seen as the next big thing and so as ripe for successful investment."

From the Paper
"During the late 1990s, the term, "New Economy," began appearing in articles and news reports as analysts sought to describe transactions that were largely Internet-based, or at least transactions which did not require consumers entering a brick and mortar store. Articles were written about the young entrepreneurs who were rewriting business rules, about companies where Casual Friday evolved into Casual Everyday, and how the New Economy would radically change the entire business landscape. As 2000 draws to a close, however, it is becoming obvious that the Old Economy is not going to go away entirely. Many of the touted "dot com" companies have gone bankrupt as they were unable to produce that most traditional product of the Old Economy: profit. New Economy companies are finding that they must integrate Old Economy ..."

From the Paper
"Another example of the mismanagement of the Dot COMs - along with other high technology companies - was the practice of issuing stocks as a portion of their compensation plans. Very few of these companies thus configured make it through the first five years on the NASDAQ board. There are, of course, notable exceptions to this as such companies as Microsoft, Sun Micro Systems and others have indeed made millionaires out of key employees via the stock issuance programs.
However, if one is careful in their investment selection, checks out the company from top to bottom, analyses every scrap of data available to them and then if satisfied make one's purchase. And, the primary rationale for the purchasing of the stocks, and particularly the four selected here is the long-term, buy and hold strategy."
