I often wonder if there really was a dot com bubble. Some companies failed, but shouldn't we look at the software market as a whole?
Look at the performance of th qqq certificate, which invests in the largest 100 non-tech companies in the Nasdaq:

And click on "max". It goes from $52.97 in May 1999 to $485.51 today.
That is an annualized ROI of 9.21%. A better performance than many other market indices had over the same time.
- TeaBrain 2y agoQQQ tracks the Nasdaq-100, which contains the 100 largest non-financial companies, not non-tech companies. Nine of QQQs top ten holdings are tech companies, which by themselves account for almost 50% of the ETFs allocations.
