Shareholders then started to not give any more credit to bussines expectations and speculation stopped. Quarter after quarter with cash looses, and even worse "return on investement" expectations, made the shareholders move the money out of those companies and their confidence. It is the way the dotcommers made bussines and SE speculation what caused this problem. Just as a point travelprice.com just announced that this is the first quarter without losses before taxes. It just happened that they have applied normal bussines strategies and bussines models. Also the effect that this downturn is going through all the chain, from transportation to food and goods. And BTW most companies that caused this were startups not really big companies. Much more information on this can be found on the Wall Street Journal. Sean C. McCarthy SCI, S.L. (www.sci-spain.com)
