History

Historical Context

The dot-com bubble, fueled by the rapid growth of the internet in the late 1990s, peaked in 2000 when the NASDAQ Composite Index reached 5,048. However, by 2002, it had fallen nearly 78%, resulting in approximately $5 trillion in investor losses. Today, renewed interest in AI and cloud services signals a shift in investor sentiment, suggesting potential for sustainable growth in the tech sector.
