A 1997 vintage is likely to perform much better than a 2000 vintage because the former got to ride the dot com bonanza and likely saw some quick IPOs and crazy trade sales while the latter is more likely filled with many companies that never reached the promise land (or are still trying). Why does vintage matter to you?

I know that most people who are close to them tend to deny their existence, as we saw in the great housing bubble of 2002-2007 and the dot com bubble of 1997-2000. That happened a lot in 2002 and again in 2008. I believe a bubble occurs when a market is willing to pay greater than intrinsic value for an asset class.

I got an internship on the buy side at the GM pension fund in high school--in 1997. I tried to write a book for college kids in 2002-2003, couldn''t get it published, so I started blogging in February of 2004. I started a business newspaper in 1998 in college covering the stock market and the economy.

In 1997/98 I spent months in Barcelona. I was married July 20, 2002 when I was 34 years old. I think you see where this thing is heading. In 1996 I worked (then later lived for 8 years) in London and passed daily through Trafalgar Square. It’s beauty undeniable but as ephemeral as the others. And it was Tania.

3/31/1997: 23.3. 3/29/2002: 82.5. 3/31/1997: 23.3. 3/29/2002: 82.5. So, the average company on the S&P 500 IT index with $10M in annual earnings would be worth $210M in March of 1995, $820M in March of 2002, $310M in March of 2004 and $155M in March of last year. One would be wrong: 3/31/1995: 21.0.

It was 2002 – the “dog days&# of the Internet and we were running out of cash. Let’s say you became a partner in a VC fund in 1995 and started investing heavily in 1997-99. Imagine how Flurry felt when Steve Jobs called them out by name. They seem to have bounced back nicely. They were envious. Let me explain.
