Anthony - Its old news but did you see the March 20 Fortune? The cover, "Doing Business The Dot-Com Way" is worth framing. Some of the stories include: New Ethics or No Ethics? Presto Chango! Sales are Huge! Misadventures in the Me-First Economy The High Price of Research - Caveat Investor. Stock and Research Analysts Covering Dot Coms Aren't as Independent as you Think Some call outs: "Some venture capitalists even have a name for these sorts of companies: burgers- built to be flipped" "Its not that it's illegal" says one chief investment officer: "Its just so grey and borderline" "Say the magic words and-poof!-revenues materialize and investors part with their wallets" "The New Role of Directors ...They just don't provide much oversight" There even is an article about TERN It was good to see that their new insight did not prevent them from continuing to run the e-company section wherein they hype the dot coms, running a special Voice and Video Commerce over the Net special advertising section, or Burn, Baby Burn: Three Stocks Heat Up. I guess they want to present a balanced perspective.
