Using so called "Internet Currency" created by inflated stock prices to make key acquisitions will not always benefit the shareholders, as announcements of important mergers have often deflated share prices. http://www.wired.com/news/business/0,1367,34890,00.html Upside's Richard Brandt tries to make sense out of previous high-flying internet stocks, and finds psychology behind these meteoric rises and falls. |

Last March four web zealots posted 95 theses about the nature of online business on cluetrain.com. The musings sparked an ongoing debate that is now being published as a book. http://www.upside.com/Opinion/38b307b10.html Upside published a great series of articles describing which companies are winning and which are losing. Topics include wireless, next-generation networks, services, applications, platforms and tools. |

I know I keep quoting him, but this one's worth a quick scan as well - Cramer's take on why people invest in net/tech stocks, and nothing else: "Take a trade we put on this morning, a buy of International Paper. We bought it because the company reported a great number, has taken out costs aggressively and is putting through price increases. In other words, International Paper is doing everything right. After we bought it we were down a little less than a half-dollar. I found myself thinking, now what? They are not about to sign a big contract with Ariba or partner with Akamai.They don't have plans to move into fiber optics. They have no bandwidthsolution of any sort. They just make paper. No one is going to take over International Paper. No one is going to take it private. No one is going to merge with it. It must battle with all of its intent and might to get people to notice how well it is doing. And even after they do, they will be worried, as I am, that no one cares. What a strange time. International Paper has pretty much done everything right in this era and it hasn't mattered a whit. It's a bit depressing when you think about it." |

One interesting reason Europe has not had nearly the growth of net companies... stock options. In the Journal I read that on a normal option that doubles in value the employee will only see about 30% of that profit, while the government will take nearly 70% of that profit out of the employee's pocket and and additional 24% from the firm. Its just not economically feasible to offer stock options there (the example used was France but the trend applies throughout Europe) I'll take the good old capitalism of the USA any day. |

I like the Standard article. If I had been hibernating all year and I woke up now it would be valuable to read the article I think. Even if I was awake for the whole year I'd still read it. The most important trend talked about was the increasing investment in net stocks. Will it continue? I'm pretty high on net stocks, but I'm a bit worried about the valuations recently. |

I was expecting to read an article about how marketing costs are so excessive at all these net companies and that they should cut back and make more intelligent advertisement decisions. Instead this article seems to think that controlling marketing costs will be the easy part, and it is other excessive costs that really hurt new net businesses. Here is the last line of the article. "Neither an increase nor a decrease in marketing can compensate for shortcomings in the management of other aspects of the business. However, marketing is the easiest expense to control. So companies that have control over other costs are in a better position to benefit from reductions." I can't help but agree with it. |
