This ended up becoming one of the most laughable things ever said about  Amazon (AMZN). And this line isn’t pulled out of some freebie city newspaper… it’s from a  60 Minutes special back in 1999. Amazon’s stock price had surged 4,500% over the past two years. The internet shopping pioneer’s sales were soaring triple digits. CBS and  60 Minutes thought it was one giant bubble. Take a look at Amazon’s stock since then. How did a show that prides itself on facts and a...

Silicon Valley is the birthplace of American tech. Giants like Google and Apple have become the face of California’s disruption hub. But long before we were typing Google searches into our iPhones, Silicon Valley got its name by creating the world’s most important industry: computer chips. Computer chips, also called semiconductors, are the “brains” of electronics. These days, the entire world runs on semiconductors. There would be no iPhone, Amazon Webstore, or online messa...

Ottawa sure is a long way from Silicon Valley. In the summer of 2010, Tobi Lütke met with venture capitalists at Bessemer Ventures. He was looking for a couple million bucks to fund his money-losing Canadian startup. Cash was so tight Lütke’s father-in-law had to write checks to pay the employees. Bessemer was skeptical at first. A tech startup in bitterly cold Ottawa? But they took the plunge with a $7 million cash injection, valuing the startup at $25  million. It’s Canada’s l...

 “You drove 1,000 miles just for this game?” Christmas 1988 was a stressful time for many American parents. Nintendo’s  Super Mario Bros. 2 was the must-have toy that year. But copies of the hit videogame were as scarce as hen’s teeth. ABC News ran a  20/20 special on the shortage called “Nuts for Nintendo.” They chatted to one dad who drove 1,000 miles from Indiana to NYC in the hopes of grabbing a copy.  “I’ve tried 7 stores a day for 3 weeks and still can’t fin...

 “ You do stocks, huh? I’m thinking about ploughing a few grand into GameStop. That thing’s going to the moon, bro!” The guy on the treadmill next to me was clearly excited. Then he told me all about another opportunity as he wiped sweat off his face. “ The next Tesla,” he said, grinning from ear to ear. And he wasn’t the only one. I had at least four conversations about stocks at my local gym last week. (It’s not exactly a hotbed of investors. In fact, I’ve  never ta...

BusinessWeek magazine in July 2000. Amazon’s future looked bleak after the tech bubble burst earlier that year. The online shopping pioneer was hemorrhaging cash, forcing it to cut 15% of its workforce. Top fund managers cut Amazon from their portfolios.  And over the following year, its stock price sank from $105 to  $5. Source: Twitter In 2000, Amazon was a small online store selling books and CDs. It soon branched out to other categories like electronics. But folks remained skepti...
