Patience is really a virtue when it comes to INIT. e-harmon.com's NetStock! by Steve Harmon ceo of e-harmon.com "for the internet investor" e-harmon.com ___________________________ "Steve, great report on WEBVAN. Any ideas with respect to IPO date? Secondly, having a hard time trying to figure out The Globe.com - TGLO. Are they not destined to follow the path of other "community" web sites such as XOOM.com and Geocities? Currently, it appears there is no interest in them." => reply: the entire community space was on my watch radar listing in january and all but theglobe.com (nasdaq:tglo) have been acquired or had serious offers, lycos and usa networks being a failed attempt. with the recent downswing in tglo's market cap i think a larger web portal could snatch them up just for the traffic and users alone. at $78 per unique user, however, tglo seems a bit frothy -- at $50 it could be much more attractive to a buyer. on webvan's ipo date, the actual day always depends on market conditions --- Y2-OK? "How and when the sale off will start ? your info on it ? Oct/Nov/Dec?" => reply: i think investors could start to have a y2k fear factor hit them in december, which coincides with the wait 'til the last minute holiday shoppers perhaps going to cash. if a real y2k event happens then that could of course change the game; those that sell of nothing more than fear may regret doing so come 1q2000 if the lights are on, flights are landing and the internet is now a must-have for every business person; y2k will separate the investors from those that follow media hype --- Asia AOLs In The Making? "Dear Steve Harmon, I'm a great fan of you, because your advices really helped me a lot to find my way through the IPO's. Still there are two stocks I can't remember you writing about in a long time, MYWB and PCNTF. What do you think of these stocks? Does one of these companies have the potential to become an Asian AOL?" -Sincerly Stefan (from Germany) => reply: i think pacific internet (nasdaq:pcntf) may have a good chance at expanding its presence in asia and looks attractive to me at $320 million market cap with strong revenue for the region, combined with having singapore heavyweight sembawang corporation a major equity holder. pacnet could rebound from its selloff, although not to the highs enjoyed earlier this year without a major news event for the firm-- pcntf hit $104.25 earlier this year and closed august 27 at $26.25 per share. china.com has run on a lot of expectation and at $980.2 million market cap may have most of that built in. aol owns a small piece of china.com as does sun and 24/7 media. i could foresee both pacnet and china.com being acquired by an isp and portal, respectively, within 24 to 36 months. both psinet and yahoo may make logical acquirers/hunters here. --- Inter The Dragon? "Steve, I've been watching Interliant (INIT), and given what I know of its fundamentals, it seems like a legitimate contender for a double or triple within the next 6 months. What do you think about the stock? Does it have realistic potential to compete with the big boys?" => reply: i think interliant, a web hosting and application service provider (asp) company, could find some running room based on its current valuation vs. its peers. a recent deal with network solutions to cross promote each other's services also could be a boon to interliant; the firm currently hosts 37,000 businesses; i believe the asp market holds a lot of promise and may very well be the future of software to businesses and corporations competition, yes, but interliant's second quarter revenue hit $10.6 million, vs. $845,000 for 2q98; revenue for six months ending june was $16.1 million. interliant is also aggressive with its acquisitions, although i view that as a plus and minus until those buys have been integrated and show results ********* if you enjoy this report please tell a friend or colleague, they can sign up FREE at e-harmon.com, and it may be republished for non-commercial purposes as long as it's 100% intact if you publish please email us with the url at publish@e-harmon.com ********* _________________________________________________ (c) 1999 e-harmon.com, inc.
