The NASDAQ rose to just higher than 3,000 for the first time since December 2000. The improvement was aided by Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) which makes up a substantial piece of the indexes’ value. But, shares the companies of most other sectors have rallied. Tech stocks in general have risen. But, so have many shares in retail and biotech firms. Many analysts claim that 2012 is nothing like 2000 when the internet bubble pushed the NASDAQ above 5,000 briefly. It took only year for the index to drop below 2,000 by 2001. Of course, earnings are strong until they are not. Tech companies face the same reality of gravity that all other companies do. Valuations will get higher than investors can stand as the index rises more and more. The NASDAQ may not remain above 3,000 for long.
