Taulli (a useless maggot of an investing guru) and Harmon switched places early last year after Taulli was fired for breach of contract. Taulli is now the analyst at Internet.com from whence Harmon came. One or both used to be featured on CNBC.com. Both have written books that are widely read, Taulli on technology investing, Harmon on venture capital. Harmon came to fame as a result of his free Internet Insight newsletter. He claims to have become the first analyst to focus purely on the internet back in 1996, I think. At the beginning of every year while he was at Internet.com, he published a top 10 list of investment picks for the upcoming year. His list became widely disseminated and his picks did exceptionally well during '98 and '99 as investor interest in interest centric companies mushroomed and he took full credit for the performance of the stocks he recommended. Most all of those stocks have lost much of their value this year and he must take credit for that as well. They have fared horribly. My point is that the success of his recommendations prior to this year was a fluke of the times and their subsequent underperformance indicates that he has no special insight into their futures as investments. He did get one thing right though. While still famous, not infamous, he managed to garner enough money to start his own investment firm and thereby no longer needed to be an analyst when the chips were down as they are now. He's just walked away from role as analyst and moved, as shall we all.
