The valuation of these internet companies had shot up by 400%.
the Nasdaq Composite Index price went from a mere $320 to $5100 in just a decade.

But then something happened in 2001 that all these companies, whose futures were looking bright, had their share prices crash by almost 80%.

Why did the bubble burst?
So with the prices going up and up year after year, a sort of bubble was created, and the internet companies were at the center of it.
