Generally, ~everyone acquitted themselves poorly. VCs overinvested in the boom, underinvested in the bust. Public investors bought high, sold low. CEOs bled their companies out over time instead of taking their medicine up front. The press was overly positive before, and then went psychotic after and never recovered.

But, day does follow night, capitalism works, the market recovered, and 2004-2021 was a far bigger boom than 1994-2000 and deservedly so.
