Todays ISR report- Steve Harmon compares BWEB with MRBA...

Business 2 Biz

"So many of the stocks in the Internet seem to be consumer stocks. What are
your thoughts on business-to-business stocks?"

Reply: Consumer stocks always get the spotlight since many Internet users
would consider themselves "consumers." Even those at work may classify
themselves this way and gravitate to the consumer brands for work-related
offerings.

That's why Netscape.com, AOL.com, Yahoo.com all figure prominently in work
usage patterns. Yet I foresee a tidal wave of B2B stocks coming. I think
Marimba (NASDAQ:MRBA - news) was one and that BackWeb may be
another.

VerticalNet (NASDAQ:VERT - news) ran on B2B and still holds some interest
because of its focus on vertical portals for industry. Overall I think IBM
(NYSE:IBM - news) and AT&T (NYSE:T - news) provide deep B2B
exposure. IBM's chief Lou Gerstner just said about a third of revenue comes
from selling Internet products.

Microsoft is another. Intel. The big stocks are moving into the Internet (or rather
the Internet is taking over their businesses).
