Public markets are rational. Tech stock performance has been strong but is driven by strong revenue growth and good business fundamentals generally speaking.

I agree completely. That right there is worthy of an article. Fitbit went public two weeks ago and has a PE ratio of only 25 right now, and that is after a 30% pop in price. If this were the 90's it would have gone public with a PE of 300 or some crazy high number. Despite the high prices, markets are much more sober. I'm rationally optimistic.

We should consider the fact that Fitbit is a hardware company. I say this, because if you look at the recent software IPOs (say Box, Hortonworks, etc.), they have inifite PEs because they are unprofitable.
