Synopsis

Why everyone thinks they can get rich quick-and the reality of the myths of internet and stockmarket. In the last few years there has been a change of mentality. No longer do people think that they will have to work throughout their lives to earn a wage: people think that there is easy money to be had. Whether it is internet millionaires yet to leave school, city slickers in the Daily Mirror passing tips to tabloid readers, the rise of spread betting, the triumph of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and new lottery millionaires every week - people now think it is possible to make money without effort. Most of all this is seen in the new interest in the stock market and especially new technology stocks as they flick in and out of favour making paper millionaires (and paupers) in a few hours. But can it last and what will happen if (when) the market turns downwards?
