VerticalNet (NASDAQ:VERT) was the worst performer of the six shown, off 23% to $35
per share. We looked over VERT's filings and business strategy and concluded two things: the
basic notion may be good, to provide trade info to niche industries such as
meatandpoultry.com.

The other side of VerticalNet is how many meat and poultry or vegetable and fruit (and the
dozen or so more it serves) industries will use VerticalNet's offering to generate it some
breadandbutter.mon? My Yahoo, My Excite, My Lycos, NewsEdge (NASDAQ:NEWZ) all
can deliver customized news on topics that any user picks. VerticalNet has a chance to hit it
big in our opinion but seems like a long shot to us. STEVE HARMON's opinion
