Compare to the 99's. One couldn't keep track of all the IPOs back then.

Anyway, the VC bubble will not pop alone. It'll take stocks with it (or the other way around), and people will suffer worldwide again.

There have been close to 200 IPOs this year. How many people here can, by memory alone, name more than 10?

I'm not at all arguing that the IPO market of 2014 is the IPO market of 2000 reincarnated (it absolutely isn't), but anecdotal analyses that boil down to "it was crazier in 2000!" aren't very meaningful.
