Flashback: The 2000 Dot.Com Bust -- January 28, 2026

Locator: 49857BUBBLE.

Seriously, I asked Google Gemini this question, tongue-in-cheek. Google Gemini apparently thought I was serious.

The AI prompt, asked tongue-in cheek:  Are some investors still over-thinking the Fourth Industrial Revolution?

See response this link.  

 *****************************************

AI prompt: just prior to the dot.com bust in 2000 or thereabouts, approximately how many web-based app companies IPO'd? 

AI prompt: of the 500+ internet-related companies that went public during the dot.com bubble who were the top fifteen winners?

AI prompt: some say Monster Beverage (MNST) was the best-performing stock in the last 30 years. Is that still accurate? 

I cannot recall CNBC ever covering this company. Obviously CNBC has mentioned it on occasion but I've never caught it on CNBC.
