Valuing shares in the 'New Economy.'

Article Abstract:

The growth of investor interest in the new e-commerce companies has led to the share price of many traditional firms falling despite recording good profits. The new technology based companies are often not profitable and have had little time in the market to prove their value which has led to problems over determining the value of their shares. The price-earnings ratio could be used to predict the value of shares in e-companies but the result will be limited because none of the firms have reached maturity. Other methods, such as discounted dividend models will be less successful.

Global recession and the 'Asian' crisis

Article Abstract:

A number of theories have been put forward to explain the financial crisis that developed in Asia in summer 1997. Some observers attribute the crisis to the destabilizing impact of speculators, while others point to extremely high levels of optimism, both in Asia itself and in financial institutions in North America, Europe and Japan. Others believe that that the high levels of Asian indebtedness were the result of individuals or companies taking less responsibility than they would otherwise, as possible losses will be balanced out by insurance.
