Some hot-selling companies have never seen anything but red ink. Says one broker: "I can understand a stock selling at 20 times earnings, or 50 or even 100 times earnings-but how do you compute the ratio of a company with no earnings...

Hours later, similar crowds were in action in Belgrade, Amsterdam, Paris...
