Queen of Internet, Mary Meeker admits she sucks. But hit home run with Dell. Subj: Meeker, Internet Analyst, Regrets Some Stock Picks, WSJ Says Date: 03/09/2001 6:34:00 AM Eastern Standard Time From: AOL News Meeker, Internet Analyst, Regrets Some Stock Picks, WSJ Says (Bloomberg) -- Mary Meeker, Internet analyst at Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co. named ``Queen of the Net'' by Barron's magazine in 1998, said she regrets recommending some of the Internet stocks the firm brought to market, the Wall Street Journal said, citing an interview with her. Meeker said Ask Jeeves Inc., drugstore.com Inc., Priceline.com Inc., Women.com Networks Inc. and HomeGrocer.com as being ``especially disappointing'' stocks which Morgan Stanley led in initial public offerings, the Journal said. ``I had a bad year. I would hate to be judged on one bad year,'' she told the Journal. She acknowledged that she ``stayed too long on some stocks.'' Meeker was one of highest-profile advocates of the new economy on Wall Street, appearing on the cover of Fortune magazine as the third most powerful woman in business in 1999. Her influence as an Internet analyst owed much to Morgan Stanley's position as a top underwriter of Internet initial public offerings. Since the collapse of the Internet market, her star has waned, the Journal said. She told the paper the value in her picks wiped out in the dot-com price crash was outweighed by the appreciation in stocks she's been recommending for over ten years, including Microsoft Corp., America Online, Compaq Computer Corp. and Dell Computer Corp.
