Overview

Certain to become the bible for Internet stock picking, this strategic guide explores the myriad forces that drive the prices of Internet stocks and shows readers how to assess the value of Internet companies, pick attractive Internet investment opportunities, and make wise purchasing and selling decisions.

The heart of Cohan's investment strategy is the search for companies with real, viable, ongoing, profitable businesses. He shows readers how to examine the fundamentals of each company, assess its business model, determine the health of the Internet sector in which it resides, and plan a value on its stock. Addressing such important issues as the value of the Internet as a source of new business, which Internet stocks are the best performers, and the characteristics of Internet companies that provide the highest returns for investors, this timely compendium features practical insights from real case studies and offers sorely needed guidance in a game of stock market hardball everyone wants to play.

Cohan (e-Profit: High-Payoff Strategies for Capturing the E-Commerce Edge), CNBC commentator and consultant in high-tech investments, offers concepts in this primer that investors should consider when investing in high-tech Internet stocks. He examines the factors that go into Internet investing by looking at how investors choose stocks in general and tech stocks in particular. The author also thoroughly covers such important areas as the way Internet companies operate with regard to the state of the art in Internet technology; vehicles for the Internet (it is not just the computer but cable television and wireless communication devices such as the Palm and wireless telephone); and the investor's potential for success as a leader in innovation and marketing. This timely, well-written, but technical book (supported with graphs and tables) will appeal to investors, investment professionals, and those in academia. A good choice for large public, academic, and some special libraries. Steven J. Mayover, Philadelphia Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.
