The Nasdaq hasn't hit these levels since the year 2000. Should investors cut and run at these nosebleed heights?

In this video from Monday's edition of The Motley Fool's Investor Beat, host Chris Hill and Fool analyst Jason Moser take a hard and fast look at the top investing stories of the day.

For the first time in 13 years, the Nasdaq broke 4,000. The last time this happened was back in 2000, when irrational exuberance drove the markets into a bubble that devastated many investors when it popped. Are we heading down a similar path today? In the lead segment on today's Investor Beat, Chris and Jason discuss what's similar about today's market to the one in 2000, and what's changed.
