The valuation of some (ok, most) tech companies is really beyond me. The majority of them seem to turn no profit, yet run P/E ratios and revenue multiples that would have been considered unthinkable 20yrs ago.

I guess everyone must be speculating on the next Apple / Amazon  . I'll stick to investing in things/companies I understand. 

Dot.com bubble anyone?

It's a lot older than that: You probably remember the South Sea Bubble?

That wasn't tech, though

same cause though, clever people extracting more cash out of the latest financial fad than it could ever be worth. Which is why they all end in a crash that's even bigger than the boom.

Ah, yes, boom and bust. I thought Gordon Brown had stopped that kind of thing.

He was supposed to have saved the world as well and look where we are now!

Only because he ran out of money

£4000+ for what will be a 'five minute wonder' is very expensive.

A couple of sweaty work outs and it will take it's place next to the never used sandwich toaster.

.......and teasmaid......George Formby Grill...............

Drinking my tea from one as I type! Wouldn’t be without it.

Personally I wouldn't buy one of these over priced exercise bikes. I'd prefer to buy a normal bike and one of those stands with rollers so you can use it indoors as well. You get the best of both worlds, but at less cost. Also, when they become a clothes horse, they'll have more value.

And never mind Peloton, have you seen the advert for the other similar company, Echelon? Wait until the near the end of the advert, there is a shot of woman from the breasts upwards (so no bike in shot) arms in the air, eyes closed and a facial expression that suggests it's not a bike she is riding.

I don't find it offensive, it just raised a smile. Anyway, https://youtu.be/T7d3M2Z7SFk?t=23 I've not marked it NSFW (Not Safe For Work) as it's on broadcast TV.

Owning horses would make a Peloton seem like a bargain.


Best advice I heard for any potential horse owner was  put your shotgun in your mouth and pull both triggers

The last 6 months has taught me that apparently Tortoises are in a similar category.
