Internet companies often say that if they wanted to make a profit, they could just cut back the marketing dollars. But it may not be that easy. http://www.thestandard.com/article/display/0%2C1151%2C8007%2C00.html |

Here is a quote from the InvestorGuide Weekly article... <<A recent joint poll done by MONEY and Rosewood Capital, a San Francisco venture-capital firm, found that 80% of Net investors surveyed had returns of less than 10%, including 29% who said they had lost money.>> I guess that debunks the myth that everyone who invests in net stocks is making lots of money. Of course they didn't say what the sample size was, or who the asked the question of. Still, good net investors are making money, but those who just throw their investing dollars at any .com or .net are probably in the 29% who are losing money, and they deserve to be there. |

Following a request it made last month for accounting watchdogs to scrutinize how internet companies report their revenues, the SEC has introduced its own set of accounting guidelines aimed at preventing dot-com companies from unfairly pumping up their sales figures. http://www.sec.gov/rules/acctreps/sab101.htm [Note: This message has been edited by Mayor of Investorville] |

As the internet broadens to encompass much of business, how do you track its performance? Here's Fortune's proposal: an index of e-stocks with the potential to upstage the Dow. http://www.pathfinder.com/fortune/e50/int.html |

Investoman, you came to the right place. You'll learn alot on this site. But these message boards work better than email for communicating, because they let a lot of people in on the discussion. Whenever you have questions, just post them on the 'Ask Any Question' board, and I'm sure someone will answer them. Happy investing... |

I've been watching alot of the 'pure net plays' since last April, and maybe that's not nearly enough time, but they just don't seem worth it to me. sure they are fun to watch, what with 15 point daily movements, but eBay, for example, is actually still down from where it was over seven months ago! Whereas companies like Cisco (ie blue chips) have done extremely well...they just keep going up and up and up (a little here, a little there). I still think you can't go wrong with blue chips; and I know many are considering net stocks, but very few have the same kind of volatility, and they all seem to lack the extreme curves...all blue chips have is a wavy line that goes up and to the left continuously, rewarding every investor. |

Regarding the tightening of accounting for internet companies: I think it's a great idea. A lot of investors aren't doing their research and are investing in internet companies based on the stated revenue numbers, which are often very misleading. The things they should (and hopefully will) address are: - revenue from distribution of third-party products/services - barter transactions, such as when two sites run each other's ads - rebates offered by ISPs and PC retailers when buyers sign up for internet service - shipping and handling costs - introductory products or services - refunds and damage claims to users as a result of outages - auction listing and transaction fees - online software purchases - etc. |

I posted this in the Amazon folder as well because there was good discussion about this topic going on there. Its about Jonathan Cohen, an analyst at Wit Capital. I agree with what he's saying about operating margins being important... "In his search for a method of valuing unpredictable Web businesses, Cohen has arrived at a matrix that projects operating margins, then plots them against expected stock price-to-revenue multiples. That's because few companies are making money these days on the World Wide Web. And a simple price-to-revenue formula leaves investors with little insight into the potential big winners -- and losers. Those companies with a good shot at sustaining robust operating margins the next five years are the Internet companies that deserve the highest stock prices, Cohen says." |
