I remember watching that show from the sidelines in 1999. I didn't understand much of anything about equities or investing at the time, but it was really wild to see some of those tech stocks rocket. Cisco was another insane chart in 97-2000.

I owned some Compaq, which did well for a while until it didn't, and then got bought by HP. Also owned a few domain names. Would have owned many more had I any idea what kind of ridiculous digital land rush was about to happen.

Linux was the next big thing at the time. It was in vogue to hate Bill Gates & everything Microsoft, despite virtually everyone using Microsoft products.
