RE: UKNM: .Com Fever

[Stewart Dean]

Well the gold rush is over - the days when you could just put .com on

something and people would go wow is hopefully on the way out.


As far as internet business goes if anything things are accelerating as the

large companies take things seriously. Those who where not sure at first are

now committing.


I was hoping the market would slowly become visibly more segmented within

the tech stock as it appears that if one tech stock suffers it has a adverse

effect on unrelated ones (one more reason to not like Microsoft?). As it

stands it looks as if the recent shake up may have done this to some degree

and hopefully it has acted as a wake up call to everyone that e-business, at

the end of the day, is actual business and just putting an e on the front

doesn't mean you ignore all the wisdom that has gone before.


I hope the market carries on being unkind as it has been recently as it will

shake out the companies who didn't build a strong, market independent

strategy before they went online.


Time to sort the wheat from the chaff :)
