nice, an upside to the fall in stocks.
i don't even own any tech stocks, but the market has been brutal lately.

I don't own any either, not directly anyways.
But everyone with index funds probably owns them indirectly.

Why not? Do you short any, or buy put options?
no, it's just too many eggs in one basket. i work in internet tech, so buying internet tech is doubly risky. if things really go south, i lose my job and my investments.
so my investments are generally boring old-school things that have nothing to do with the sf tech scene.
also, i could never justify buying anything with a p/e over 30. just too conservative to go past that.
Nasdaq is in bubble indeed.
Mark Cuban about about 2 years ago said that this bubble is bigger than the one in 2001.
It will crash eventually.
It's actually down 19% as of today.
