Yes, I do remember the Dot Com bust.

I had a few friends that lost large sums of money.

One buddy of mine, who owned a small internet company, lost close to 4 million, but that was on paper; still, though.

As for this ethanol stuff.......IMHO...........BIG SCAM.

Higher priced/worse mileage than gasoline, nearly one-third more energy to produce than it generates in combustion, grocery vegetables (corn) up in price as more is diverted to ethanol to get the tax subsidies and energy credits.

Consumer reports busted that last year:
