Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 4 page paper discussing reasons for the fallout of the tech sector. Some companies are merely less relevant than they were in the 1990s (i.e., Dell Computer), others such as Nortel Networks are suffering because most organizations no longer have need to replace their entire networks but can merely add to what they have.

Amazon.com was able to stay in business for the 7 years it took to stop losing money; most were not so fortunate or willing to alter their approach in order to survive. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

line of demarcation between e-commerce and common sense. Technology stocks were selling at greatly inflated prices reflecting amazing multipliers between price and earnings. Investors who should have known
better (i.e., profession, trained ones) routinely purchased and recommended stocks based on past performance rather than on possible future returns. This is understandable in many respects, given that companies
such as Dell Computer split at least two-for-one four times during the decade of the 1990s. The Nortel Networks stock that traded at more than $80 in 1996 was
