There has been a flood of articles on the Internet and Web-
related companies that have either seen their share price collapse,
or have gone out of business altogether. So I thought it was
necessary to come up with my own list. When we check back
about a year from now, I”m sure we”ll find that well over 50% of
those listed below are finished as going concerns. Hopefully,
you haven”t been suffering along with some of these. If so, you
have my sympathy. At the same time, however, this is Wall
Street history in the making and 100 years from now, the Crash
we have witnessed in the technology sector, particularly with
Net-related companies, will rank right up there with Tulipmania.
All of the following derive a large, if not 100%, portion of their
revenues through Web-related businesses; things such as B-to-B,
Net data collection, Web applications software, e-commerce
software, consulting, Net access and Web hosting, travel
services, incubators, digital greetings, online insurance, gender
specific networks, and online direct marketing.
I list each stock”s high going back to 10/2/99 (14-plus months) as
well as the price on 12/11/00. Many of these issues, like
theGlobe.com, achieved far greater share prices before this
period. But I had to set the bar somewhere. And just since
12/11, many of these have collapsed an additional 50%!
*I purposefully omitted some high profile names like Yahoo!,
Amazon, and eBay. Just using my editorial prerogative.
