Dot-com Bubble
About
The dot-com bubble (or dot-com boom) was a stock market bubble in the late 1990s. The period coincided with massive growth in Internet adoption, a proliferation of available venture capital, and the rapid growth of valuations in new dot-com startups.
Between 1995 and its peak in March 2000, the Nasdaq Composite stock market index rose 800%, only to fall 78% from its peak by October 2002, giving up all its gains during the bubble.
