Description
There's no doubt that the Internet has shaped and will continue to shape the world's stock markets, and the broader world economy, in the new millennium. But while many investors have already made millions on Internet-related stock, countless others have lost millions in these spectacularly volatile investments. Finally there's a voice of reason amidst all the confusion. In a clear easy-to-read style Steven Frank the well known Internet journalist from THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, explains what's new and what's not about investing in the dot.com economy. Frank lays out a straight forward framework for understanding how the Internet works, how different business models stack up, and how to think about Internet stocks as part of a broader investment portfolio. He weighs in on the potential risks and rewards of each Internet sector and profiles many of the dot com companies from obvious names like Amazon.com and Cisco Systems, to transformed titans of the old economy, such as Fed Ex and Wal-Mart. For anyone interested in staking a claim in the rewarding but turbulent Internet market, NETWORTH is a trusted, indispensable adviser.
