- 15. Technology Boom – Experts View „We have one general response to the word “valuation” these days: “Bull market”. The internet has introduced a brave new world for valuation methodologies and it is a time of especially high risk/reward, in our view. When you overlay the high valuation of many start-ups with the relatively high valuation of the general market, well, we are where we are just trying to do our jobs and find some early stage great companies. If they execute, the valuations will take care of themselves. Again it‟s about monster markets, great management teams and good products.‟ Mary Meeker, stock analyst, Morgan Stanley.

- The list of new technology companies once valued at hundreds of million pounds and that eventually folded is lengthy and includes online dog food retailers, and the much hyped Boo.com an online designer clothes retailer, with the fundamental problem that people would not part with designer size money over the internet for clothes that they could not touch and feel or try on. Nevertheless J.P.Morgan, Goldman Sachs and Benetton financed the venture to the sum of $185 million dollars, which was lavishly squandered by the businesses founders Kajsa Leander and Ernst Malmsten, photogenic Swedes in their twenties who managed to generate only $1 million worth of sales and whose website took over a year to launch and even then was flawed and difficult to use. Lastminute.com, essentially just a travel agent soared in value on its floatation day to £733 million on a turnover of just £490,000; yet within three days the share price had halved.
