There's no doubt that the Internet has shaped and will continue to shape the world's stock markets, and the broader world economy, in the new millennium. But while many investors have already made millions on Internet-related stock, countless others have lost millions in these spectacularly volatile investments. Finally there's a voice of reason amidst all the confusion. In a clear easy-to-read style Steven Frank the well known Internet journalist from THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, explains what's new and what's not about investing in the dot.com economy. Frank lays out a straight forward framework for understanding how the Internet works, how different business models stack up, and how to think about Internet stocks as part of a broader investment portfolio. He weighs in on the potential risks and rewards of each Internet sector and profiles many of the dot com companies from obvious names like Amazon.com and Cisco Systems, to transformed titans of the old economy, such as Fed Ex and Wal-Mart. For anyone interested in staking a claim in the rewarding but turbulent Internet market, NETWORTH is a trusted, indispensable adviser.
Stephen E. Frank is the on-air Internet correspondent for The Wall Street Journal and CNBC. His reports on Internet investing and his hard-hitting interviews with leading Internet industry executives can be seen daily. He also writes the weekly column "Playing the Net" for The Wall Street Journal Sunday. Frank joined The Wall Street Journal in 1996 to cover the banking industry. A graduate of Harvard College, Frank has frequently been identified as one of financial journalism's rising young stars, and was a member of the Journal team that won the Overseas Press Club's Malcolm Forbes Award in 1997 for coverage of the Asian financial crisis. In 1998 Frank was named a Broadcast News Editor for Wall Street Journal Television. He lives in New York City.
