Re: UKNM: Dot Com Fever

Hi,

Re the bubble busting - I jest spoke with someone who has been rasing money

for startups for at least 10 years across all sectors including in recent

years, the net.

His opinion was that there may be a slight down turn and levelling but

hardly

likely to be a 'burst' If it happens the economic cycle of funding indicates

it should be around the next month. Of course, the net is a bit different

but

economics is economics.

As we have seen, Microsoft's troubles had a big effect on technology stocks

and it has caused a little slowing down.

Amazon and lastminute and freeserve (and other ISP stocks) have been

affected

by a variety of things including unmetered access, but one man's problem is

another's opportunity - those supplying streaming content (like us) were

overjoyed for the same reasons freeserve looked glum.

Programmes like Panorama do nothing to help people like us on this list with

sensible proposals, but you just have to put up with what the media say and

do. At least we have the Internet to put across our own views, investors

will

always back businesses, they need them to keep their system going even in

sectors where there is concern.

Look, even Rover has people trying to grab it!
