Jenna: Re: How to play internets.

The recent internet correction has been the first where I would have been better off dumping the 'net stocks and taking the 40% tax-rate on short-term profits rather than trying to hold them long-term. It certainly has made me rethink about trying to time the market with internet stocks (to some extent). For internet stocks that you are not day-trading or swing-trading (3-5 day holds), what is your advice as to how to invest in them? I think this year's never-ending stream of IPO's has diluted internet-investor money so badly, that the landscape going forever has changed; when money comes back into the internet sector after a steep correction, the individual stocks are less likely to rebound as sharply or as quickly.

Any thoughts from you or the members of this thread in this regard would be welcome and appreciated. I am anticipating a difficult and very volatile summer after the current reporting season ends in July. The debate and fear of a second Fed rate hike toward the end of August will undoubtedly roil the markets.
