Another interesting note on a wild day.. Is it too late to jump on the Internet Bandwagon? Ask market expert Don Rowe, and he'll give a resounding NO! E-commerce is expected to explode from $150 billion this year to $3.5 TRILLION by 2004. That's equal to the entire Gross Domestic Product in the U.S. in 1982. With many countries just discovering the power of the Internet (and many yet who haven't) the next four years look to be red hot for U.S. and foreign companies poised to take advantage. For example, Internet cell phones are now available in Japan and some parts of the United States. Eventually, Rowe sees people carrying portable laptops that are continuously hooked up to the web. In the short term, Rowe says, "I do expect the stock market to be extremely volatile in January and February with numerous pullbacks, and hence, numerous buying opportunities." In the latest issue of his newsletter, the Wall Street Digest, Rowe features ten highly profitable Internet companies poised to take advantage of this incredible growth. Included is web-publishing software icon Macromedia, which pioneered the wildly successful Shockwave Player and Flash software.
