Today marks an interesting milestone for investors. Six years ago, the Nasdaq Composite recorded its all time high water mark of 5,048. Today's close of 2,262 leaves it 55% below its peak.
This week is interesting for me for another reason. At this peak of the Internet bubble six years ago, I left my corporate job, along with thousands of other executives, to launch a business. For better or worse, I wasn't technically savvy enough to launch an Internet business and so started an investment bank, the Thorpe Capital Group.
It has been a wild ride!
