"We are in the fifth year of a twenty year cycle for the internet. It should be no surprise that many of the new models on the internet didn't work out. That always happens in a new industry.

These three events of last week certainly don't indicate that new internet models are all failures.

But it does indicate we are heading into a maturation phase, where proof of a model will be expected, and expectations will be lower.

Maturity means stocks without clear paths to earnings will suffer even more than they have already. There are still plenty of them out there. And they represent more disappointments.

But internet stocks with earnings, and a proven new business model, will thrive."
