By 2000 the investors slowly started realising the fact that the current situation was actually just a bubble forming up that could explode any time. Soon, the NASDEQ went down to a steep 2000 from 5000 which was one of the first major setback for the investors.
Many companies like the Pet.com which had a quite high market capitalization value worth billions just disappeared from the market completely The entry and exit of such companies were all of a sudden just like a bubble. The value of the stock market plunge down by many trillions which created a situation of panic among the public. By 2002. The value of NASDAQ further went down to a mere 800. Share prices of most of companies fell drastically.
The bubble era also witnessed the exposure of many accounting scandals that were prevailing during the period. Most of them involved companies inflating their earnings to a very high unsubstantial amounts.
