Silicon Valley stocks hit all-time high 10 years ago today

    SAN JOSE -- Silicon Valley tech workers are reflecting on the dot-com bubble this morning.

    If it's possible to measure enthusiasm, it was exactly 10 years ago that Silicon Valley hit its apex.

    It was a Friday, and the NASDAQ closed at 5,048.62, all all-time high.

    The Valley was flush with cash, the freeways were choked with young millionaires, and there was a sense that the Internet would change everything.

    By March 10, 2001, the value of the NASDAQ had been chopped in half, and more than 100,000 tech workers had lost their jobs.

    Their fate was impossible to see at the top of the bubble, where we stood just 10 years ago today.
