Publisher's Synopsis
With every revolution comes confusion and turmoil, and the Internet revolution is no exception. The upheaval of the information age has sent stocks to the moon and back, and investors have either been very lucky or lost their virtual shirts.
The Internet is not going away–it′s growing rapidly and will continue to change the way we work, play, shop, communicate, and live. A few companies will survive and thrive in the wild ride to the New Economy; others will not. How do you find the long–term winners among the start–up stumbles?
Welcome to e–Stocks, your comprehensive guide to Internet stock picking in the real world.
e–Stocks explores the myriad forces that drive the prices of Internet stocks and shows you how to assess the value of companies, pick attractive online opportunities, and make wise purchasing and selling decisions.
High–tech strategy consultant, angel investor, and CNBC commentator Peter S. Cohan has a tremendous record for beating the volatile e–stock market.
At the heart of Cohan′s strategy is the search for companies with real, viable, ongoing, profitable businesses. He demonstrates how to inspect the fundamentals of each company, assess its business model, determine the health of the Internet sector in which it resides, and place a value on its stock.
"For anyone who wants to learn how to buy low and sell high in the New Economy stock market, this book is required reading." –– Reed E. Hundt, adviser to McKinsey & Co. and author of You Say You Want a Revolution: A Story of Information Age Politics
