I don't know the stories behind these moves.
(if they are truly justified or not)
 
I would think as a general rule. This shows
a lot of fear and would be considered bullish.
 
The logic that usually takes place at market tops
is "bad news is good news".
 
Its hard to believe there is "irrational exuberance"
when traders sell first and ask questions later.
 
 
Thanks

ETFs trading at a 50% premium to NAV ?

Microsoft's earning are more that Google's revenues ... yet google has 70% the market cap of MSFT ?

Facebook valued at $15 billion ?  How long before their traffic migrates ... like MySpace's did ?

Monetize traffic ??  How many banner adds do you click through ?

To me ... it reminds me of the late 90s ... when people were putting huge valuations on the Y2K companies (those in business to fix potential computer bugs) ... knowing full well that they would be out of business in a few years ...
