NASDAQ lost 80% of its value from peak. That is the AVERAGE price of all the listed companies in NASDAQ. If you know how averages work, then you understand you don't get a composite drop like that without lots of index member companies losing more than that average.

I lived through it in tech. It was a bloodbath in Silicon Valley.

I had a front-row seat during that era. A few of the big ones: Ariba, Commerce One, JDS Uniphase, Corning, Broadcom.

I won't even get into the hundreds of little ones, most of which went to zero. :)

JDS Uniphase "...and the stock price dropped from $153 per share to less than $2 per share."
