Bubble, Bubble, Toil and Trouble: 
As internet and computer/technology companies have taken off, so have their stock prices. The NASDAQ-100 Index, which includes many such companies, reflects this. this index is now more than five times its level in early 1994 and has recently pulled well ahead of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Some believe, though, that this growth spurt will be short-lived if it's truly a bubble. |
