Did you copy it wrong...or are you a non English speaker?  It almost makes sense.  If this is in an ESL school your teacher needs some help.  Ill sum up what happened in the Dot-Com times.\n\nThe dot-com sector was an interesting one.  Many tech companies like yahoo that had lots of potential value, but little actual value.  Their potential value was the amount of money that, if market conditions continued, they would provide in revenue.  The actual value came from the fact that many of these companies had little capital, land or resources.\n\nInvestors Bought into this idea.  A good model to make a market fail.  Soon the stocks became worth much more than they actually represented in capital or land.  When one card is removed from a house of cards they whole thing falls.  When the market began to decline investors all sold at the same time.  Stock prices went way low.  \n\nAfter that happened Tech companies, in an attempt to salvage profits, considered many ideas to cut costs.  One of which was exporting labor.

Um...not to state the obvious, but...it's falling.  Markets do that from time to time, and it doesn't necessarily mean that there's anything significant going on.  It's just a sign that people are unhappy/uneasy/worried/ panicking/ taking out money for other things.  \n\nIf a little blip like this has you on Prozac, you'll be comatose before long.  You have to go into investing with an understanding that we'll go through ups and downs.  \n\nHaving said all that, I'm not convinced that this drop is entirely unwarranted.  As one previous answerer said, inflation is now becoming a legitimate worry.  Greenspan, with his magic wand, is gone.  And we're stuck with all this wild spending our government is doing (and not paying for). We're wondering how it could possibly NOT be inflationary.  (Secret hint: it can't.)\n\nSo, armed with that info, what should you do?\n\nPersonally, I've been keen on investing outside the U.S. for some time now.  And today, with overseas markets falling harder than ours, this may be an opportunity to do some switching.  Of course, if the U.S. dollar falls, we'll probably buy less imports from them, but I doubt if that will plunge the world into recession.  We're big, but not that big.\n\nLonger term, I suggest you vote for politicians that understand fiscal responsibility.  (Secret hint: neither of the major candidates in the last election!)\n\nHope you can hold on through this difficult time.

A company that is currently going through hard times and, as a result, the market value of its assets fall substantially in value. These assets then become attractive to bottom fishers or vultures.  A company may have to sell them at fire sale prices, for whatever they can get for them.

I don't think invest is exactly the correct word to use in this circumstance. Speculate would be a better term. And not a very promising speculation at that. \n\nPS. It has never made a profit. \n\nI will admit this though. It is very volatile and the volume is climbing and it is trading near its 3 mo low. Heck it is currently about 1.30 and has traded as high as 4.75. If you have no qualms about the possibility of loosing every cent, go ahead.

The stock market reacts to news and economic conditions. By the time the market reacts the event has already occurred. If you are waiting on the market to tell you where things are headed, you are already too late.

This is an Income Statement that describes the operating performance of a Company for over a period of time (in this case quarterly).  A Balance Sheet will show a snap shot of the financial position of a Company at a fixed point in time.  \n\nIt's hard to say whether this is a "good" company without more context but the revenue growth is strong (good) but the Company is losing money in every quarter.  The most concerning aspect of this is the negative Gross Profit.  That's hard to recover from unless the Company can show substantial continued revenue growth and a large percentage of the "Cost of Revenue" is fixed - i.e. the costs do not increase in line with revenue.

inflation is the correct answer.....here's an explanation...the stock market crashed....what does that mean?  here goes:\n\nlet's say that you have a factory making widgets (a fictional device).  you sell shares on the stock market to make money so that you can make many widgets and sell them for a profit.  you start selling the shares for $10 a share.\n\na person with a reputation for knowing what is going to be hot in the stock market is your best friend and says, "hey...i am going to buy some stock in your widgets...when everyone else hears that i have done this, they will also buy stock in widgets and your stock prices will soar!"\n\nso thousands of people buy stock in widgets and the more people buy the higher the price of the stock gets.  pretty soon it costs $90 a share to buy widgets.\n\nthe problem?  after you manufacture 50,000 widgets you find out that nobody really needs or wants to buy them...so you have thousands of people who have paid up to $90 a share for a part of your widget factory but you have ZERO dollars to give back to them...they all lose all the money that they put into your widget factory and there's not a damn thing they can do to get their money back from you.\n\nthis happened on a HUGE scale in the 1920s...people had flooded the stock market and were under the impression they were making money when they were not. then the bubble burst, everyone tried to get their money back and everyone learned their was no money to be gotten back....thousands of big time stock matket players lost FORTUNES.  people killed themselves etc.  it was, generally, a mess.\n\npeople had invested their life savings in stocks but not enough people were making money to buy things....so everything just plain CRASHED!\n\nfranklin roosevelt helped save the US economy by creating programs that put money in everyone's pocket so that they could buy things and so that manufacturers could make things and sell them again.

"The actual origins of these expressions are unclear. Here are two of the most frequent explanations given:\n\n    1. The terms bear and bull are thought to derive from the way in which each animal attacks its opponents. That is, a bull will thrust its horns up into the air, while a bear will swipe down. These actions were then related metaphorically to the movement of a market: if the trend was up, then it was considered a bull market, and if the trend was down, then it was considered a bear market.\n\n\n    2. Historically, the middlemen in the sale of bearskins would sell skins they had yet to receive. As such, they would speculate on the future purchase price of these skins from the trappers, hoping they would drop and thus increase their own profits due to a spread - the difference between the cost price and the selling price. These middlemen became known as "bears", short for bearskin jobbers, and the term stuck for describing a decrease in the market. Conversely, because bears and bulls were widely considered to be opposites due to the once-popular blood sport of bull-and-bear fights, the term bull was used to describe actions or sentiment that is the opposite of bears.\n\n    Wherever the term came from it is important for investors to know the difference between the two as it will greatly affect their returns. For example, it is unwise to be a bull in a broad-based bear market, because prices will be falling while you're hoping they will rise and the value of your portfolio will fall. Also be aware that it is possible to profit in both markets and that there are in fact two sides to the stock market - and up and a down one. Thus, like their namesake, never turn your back on a bull market or a bear market."
