Summary: Internet Bubble
Comment: In this book the Perkins tell us that the party is about over. They state flatly that, "If you own any of these companies (133 publicly traded Internet firms) it's time to sell". The book is a comprehensive analysis of how we got to the present state of affairs by looking at the history and the financial structure of the Internet marketplace. I read the book in two sittings over the weekend because after the first few pages I didn't want to miss the markets opening bell on Monday. The book is simply, scary. When business models, like Amazon's fail to demonstrate a way to ever be profitable it is time to worry.

They don't deny the glory of Silicon Valley, but they lay out a compelling case that the pumped up valuations are not sustainable and are about to go south big time. The book reads like a movie but feels like a slap up side the head. As the companies tank we at Buck's will be accepting stock certificates to repaper the rest rooms, so drop them by if you would.

Summary: A Blunt, Lively and Well Written Expose'
Comment: The Internet Bubble provides a lucid exposition and analysis of the high flying internet stocks which the authors warn are about to crash. Surpisingly blunt and revealing, particularly about the high stock prices and values, are the many quotations from industry leaders and venture capitalists. This expose' provides insights into the financing and control of startup companies before a public offering and the maneuvering by key players as well as the pressures and timing to harvest the wealth.

The authors back up their instructive and provocative narrative with a calculation of the magnitude of the "price bubble" - the improbable earnings growth that would be necessary to justify internet stock prices.

The candor of the book is refreshing. The economic data are not ponderous; they are brief and to the point. The book kept my interest throughout even when it touched upon familiar matters. If you own internet stocks or are tempted to buy, you should read this lively and well written book.
