Drawing a parallel to Cisco during the dot-com bubble, she notes that those who bought at a 200x P/E ratio in March 2000 were fundamentally right about internet traffic growth, yet still lost 85% of their investment. Being right about the technology does not equate to being right about the financial surplus and valuation.
