Is Internet Stock Interest Short-Lived?

By Pierre Belec

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Internet stocks are still on Wall Street's most wanted list but the experts say the gold rush will not pan out for most of the online gamblers.

The buying frenzy is now in its second year as investors gobble up any stocks that have a ''.com'' connected to them, drawn by the shares' explosive gains.

But like anything that's new, the companies that are expanding the global computer network will have to prove themselves.

The experts are betting that many of the stocks will go bust and the companies with their nerdy-hip appeal will wind up on the ''What ever happened to ...'' list.

''The Internet is the biggest bubble the stock market has ever created,'' said James O'Shaughnessy, a money manager and author of the investment strategy book ''What Works On Wall Street.''

''When we review the bubble after it has been popped,'' O'Shaughnessy says, ''we'll compare it to the most famous scandals, frenzies and Ponzi schemes.''
