The Internet Money Machine (1999): The young and adventurous have never had it so good, thanks to the soaring value of the late 90s tech industry - so why are some people predicting a downturn?

In a small New York office, casually dressed twenty-somethings gamble thousands with the click of a mouse. On average these day traders keep their volatile shares for just 4½ minutes. It’s a world away from the sweaty hollering of Wall Streets’ New York Stock Exchange. In just one year, 25 year-old Nick Birbas has gone from waiter to laptop legend riding the bull market and earning $10,000 a week. So will the bubble burst? Like many other internet firms Globe.com have yet to turn a profit. In the clubs of Wall Street many believe stocks like theirs have been wildly over-valued. “Old timers like us wait for the day of reckoning,” smirks one analyst. But for now there really seems to be no end to this boom.

Most of these names weren't trading stocks anymore after the crash. A few other documentaries aired at the end of 2000-2001 questing all the stock analysis that go on TV and gave buy ratings to junk companies. Those guys left that job and got into real estate shortly after.

You'd be surprised. If you put 1000 into amazon in 1997 after their IPO you'd have more than 1m in your pocket today. It wasn't a slow rise after the crash either. They met their pre-bubble peak in stock price in less than 6 years. There was a lot of wreckage, but there was a lot of action after the crash too (obviously).

I think they were genuine tech innovators that got dragged down with the crash. They should've pinned to something that could convert to hard dollars rather than online advertising which sunk for a few years after the crash.
@ 6:19 Ed predicts the DJIA could correct to 7000 because it was overvalued as it neared 11K. In fact the DJIA Peaked at 11,750 on January 10th 2000, and did not bottom until 7197 around October 7th 2002. The market did not exceed the 2000 peak until May 2006.

For those commenting about the guy that said "I would be a certifiable lunatic if I said the market is going to crash!" keep in mind this was filmed in 1999. Within two years the federal government will raise interest rates to a near 10 year high, which will make a lot of these unprofitable tech startups crash
