Not All investments are created equal

Investors who bought INTC at the peak of the Dot Com bubble are still down more than 50% 22 years later, while those who bought AMZN have made 30x their money or a Compound annual rate of 17%.

While both companies are still fine and healthy to date, investors who were caught up in the hype and neglected the disconnect between company fundamentals and stock price were punished severely. INTC traded for a PE multiple of over 100 , meaning the company needed over 100 years to earn your money back through its operations!!
