The main cause of the crash, just like the bursting of the <a href=\"https:\/\/amend-finance.de\/en\/2000-bursting-of-the-dotcom-bubble\/\">dotcom bubble in 2000<\/a>, was low or no corporate profits. The average price-earnings ratio of technology stocks in 1968 was 114. Computer manufacturers were trading at 103 times their earnings. By comparison, stocks in the Dow Jones Index had an average P\/E ratio of 16 in the peak year of 1968.<\/p>\n<p>IBM, for example, could not meet the growing demand for its new System 370.
