Of course there are real success stories, and I at this point "real" as defined, that success is reflected in our share price. But these are few and far between today and the most successful Tech-/Internetaktien then played only a minor role (Apple) or were not listed at all (Google).
This underlines the fast pace of the industry. When social networking trend is no different: The former leader MySpace.com, which was still ascribed to four years ago, a market valuation of several billion U.S. dollars (then 185 million registered users), at the end of June for only 35 million U.S. Specific Media LLC sells dollars. The Corporation currently scandalous news about the struggling Australian media mogul Rupert Murdoch had 2005 580 million dollars paid for the company.
One of the few exceptions is Amazon.com. For years, the company and the stock was the center of controversy among investors. Meanwhile, the central question is answered: The strategy that the short-term profitability and growth at all costs the establishment of the brand in the minds of the consumer to sacrifice went on. She now serves as a blueprint for newcomers like the German online pet food dealer Zooplus or business network LinkedIn.
But shareholders who believed from the beginning to the story of Amazon, experienced an emotional roller coaster ride. From the bubble high of 106.69 U.S. dollars, it went down into the single digits and then back up to the new all-time high of 227.20 this Wednesday at U.S. dollars.
So Amazon is more than 100 percent above the old highs. But let's be honest: Had you stayed so cool and would have sat out the crisis years untouched? And if so, then at least you would not have sold when the stock had regained the old highs?
And anyway: a single hit with the whole flood of Internet values, which were touted a 1999 and 2000: Is not that a bit sparse?
