History

Historical Context

The dot-com bubble burst in 2000, leading to a dramatic 90% decline in Amazon's market value. This event followed a period of excessive speculation in technology stocks, which peaked in March 2000. By 2001, institutional ownership of Amazon dropped to 50%, reflecting investor caution. The aftermath shaped long-term strategies in tech investments, influencing market dynamics and investor behavior today.
