25 years ago, you might have said DEC was the puck.

15 years ago, Yahoo.

The ball is round, the game is 90 minutes. Everything else is just theory.

And 15 years ago you might have said Apple was overvalued. It goes both ways. But "value of the underlying assets" is a poor way to gauge a growth stock.

15 years ago Apple was a dividend paying manufacturing company. It had not been a growth stock for many years. 15 years ago the standard wisdom was AOL and Pets.com.
