To answer the question posed by the chart (Is there a tech bubble?) the best answer is: This chart doesn’t have the answer. Investors are willing to pay the prices they’re paying for private and public stock either because they believe they can get their money out before the market realizes there is a bubble (a risky strategy) or because they really think that these companies will grow quickly and eventually settle at mundane multiples, like Google and Microsoft.
