It's Dot-Com Selloff Time; Do You Know Where Your Net Funds Are?
By James J. Cramer

5/24/00 1:19 PM ET

Here's a hunch, but I get paid to have hunches. Some Net fund, some fund that is built on being long the
Internet, is going belly-up. You can smell it. These companies are now falling on their own weight. They
can't lift for a second. The Net infrastructure and dot-com world is under more pressure than I have ever
seen it and it has to be because someone, or some funds, are blowing up.

This is a sickening decline and it is encompassing everything that was meant for the Net. The arms
merchants (i.e. the suppliers to the Net) are just being crushed and I have to believe that the decline is
caused by massive liquidations by funds that have invested Net-specifically. It reminds me of the selloffs I
have seen when oil-service stocks got liquidated and when gold stocks got liquidated. The sellers are of the
distressed mutual-fund variety, not individuals.

Until we see the news of the blowup, we aren't buying any of these names. Too dangerous.
