Precisely my point. Buy high because "OMG look at those past returns". Perfectly fits George Soros' concepts of fallibility ("tech" as a good label) and reflexivity (past returns drive shit ton of new money).
I reckon I should play this like Soros would: first add fuel to the fire, and then short the shit out of the dumpster fire once it becomes clear that it really is a dumpster. And the end is nigh, so keep within reach shortlists of things to short.
Too bad our salaries will suffer too. Nothing one can do about that.
Yeah, I'm not in the valley but I'm worried about a coming bubble-burst. The worst thing is it'll probably affect even those of us who don't work for vapid startups; "tech" will become a bad word instead of a good word, new initiatives even by established companies may dry up, etc. Trying to figure out if there's anything that can be done to prepare.
It's hard for a qualified specialist to diversify his income revenue, though.
Also, with all the bubble-busts it's never total destruction. We may get a haircut to the salary, but I doubt jobs will outright disappear, or even slide into average salary levels.
