A review of online share portfolios is the basis of this article. It states that much of the early hype surrounding the internet was genererated by a "your-is-bigger-than mine" attitude in terms of share portfolios. However, nearly every high tech stock has "taken a pounding" in the last year, resulting in people becoming more cautious as a result of the downturn. Online trading data from ComPeer going back to the first quarter in 2000 (930,000 online deals) is used to highlight the varying levels of activity.
