Not exactly groundbreaking, but here's an article I found about investing in the internet. The times have changed and given how difficult it will be to pick the winners in the consumer space from the losers, more money is heading to the builders of the 'net.

I don't know if there are that many "low priced" net companies, even though they have dropped so much. I do agree that they drop in stock price of e-tailing companies still might entice offline companies to buy them... but low priced is probably not a good term to describe these guys.

Now that so many net companies are trading at rediculously low levels (compared to previous levels - though now the low levels may be justified), don't you think we will finally see some offline companies buying low priced net companies instead of the other way around? It might finally be feasible for an offline co without an online presence to get on in a very cost-effective way, and this could save many etailing companies.

I think it was in this board, although it could have been pretty much any board, that had a discussion about stock options and their place in today's quickly growing tech and internet firms. This is becoming especially important due to the recent nasdaq correction.

This article discusses the positive and negative effects of the increase of stock options as compensation. http://cbs.marketwatch.com/archive/20000324/news/current/long_view.htx
I wish it had a little more numbers to back it up. I remember reading that companies like microsoft and AOL can't even make money fast enough to find the stock to fulfill the option offers they had made to employees. Of course, now that both of those companies' stock has fallen quite a bit I wonder what the effect will be on employee retention.

This is an important trend in net usage...
Soon the World Wide Web might just be an outdated platform. Well, probably not soon, but at some point.

Great article!
Here's some more stuff about accounting irregularities in e-commerce. This time the focus is on advertisers like Doubleclick, 24/7, and Avenue A.
http://www.thestandard.com/article/display/0,1151,13318,00.html

"The FASB is considering adopting a rule that would effectively ban the use of gross revenues to book the resale of advertising space. Instead, companies would book the difference between the resale price and the original cost of the ad space.
Do they merely act as a broker for the advertising space, or are they truly assuming fiscal risk and adding value to the advertising space being sold? It could be months before FASB makes a final ruling on the issue."

The valuations for these companies are already so high... They will really fall to earth if these changes take effect.

I found IXL Enterprises by accident.....I own the stock myself now and have been VERY pleased with the results. It’s an Internet Software company that has four strong buy recommendations and three moderate buys. Its revenues have increased over 158% over the past year alone. I bought it at 17 1/8 and it’s currently at over 37!! IXL has amazing potential as it currently sells and is developing Internet software, moreover it consults with almost all of the fortune 1000 companies that are expanding into the Internet. Because of its well established operation I believe it will have quite an advantage as it expands to working with fortune 500 companies as well. Please don’t take my word for it, take a look at their web site at IXL.com or any major investment portal I would be very interested to hear your thoughts on this promising young Internet company. The symbol is IIXL (NASDAQ). I may be a little partial as I do own the stock myself but I truly do believe this company will continue to be as fruitful as it has proven to be in the past.

Here's a quote which i found amusuing and quite on the money...
From Pat Dorsey at Morningstar.com
"I don't mean to burst anyone's bubble,
but there are no professionals when it comes to picking Net stocks."
A professional implies someone with experience, but net stocks are so new, its hard to have experience in such a new field.
