I lived through the the dot-com bubble, and the environment today is nothing like it was then. No one is claiming now that there is a "new economy." Investors are not afraid to put their money in bonds, for fear they'll miss out on a new, transformative sort of growth in equities. LP money isn't flooding into new VC funds. VCs aren't funding MBAs with business plans.

dmix's instincts are right; saying it's 1999 all over again is just a facile put-down.
