   When will we realize, it's all in our heads?

   Markets go up and down on 'herd mentality' thinking. What is the true value of anything on the market? It's "easy" to scam penny stocks b/c all you need is people to believe. And it's only illegal when a boom is based on outright lies. The dot com boom was based on statements that just couldn't be proven outright false at the time. We can't even "prove" some of the business models are outright bad even now.
   
   That being said, we're going to be seeing more articles outlining the 20/20 hindsight of VCs. Will we learn from these mistakes? Probably not. The "next big thing" is just around the corner.
   
   Why do we fall for these mistakes? B/c every situation seems slightly different. And we want to believe... The thing we want to avoid is collective belief in depression!

   More myths...

   Not only will Forbes not be outdone, they came up with http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/zd/20001018/tc/debunking_the_myths_of_b2b_1.html"> their own set of myths for B2B commerce.... Should we keep a running tally of all the stories that enumerate the reasons for e-failure?
