Valuevision: Internet Mention Seen Boosting Stock 12/29/98 12:19 In part, the stock's upward momentum is being amplified by the company's mention of e-commerce, analysts said. In the current milieu, where investors frantically bid up the stocks of companies whose businesses are even marginally related to the Internet, Valuevision is being perceived as an Internet company and getting the associated high-flying valuation. Invoking the patterns of behavior detailed in Charles Mackay's 1840s landmark study of crowd psychology "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds," Security Capital Trading analyst Stevens Monte characterized the rush to buy Valuevision shares as analogous to tulip mania in Holland and speculative land booms in Florida. "Periodically, we go through these periods when buyers' demand for whatever product or service gets way out of proportion to its actual value," Monte said. To put into perspective Valuevision's actual value, one need only note that the company has yet to earn any money from its core home-shopping business and e-commerce is a negligible component of its total sales.
