Strategist sees dark year for Net stocks, markets
Article Abstract:
Internet stocks will decline in 2000, according to strategist Byron Wien of Morgan Stanley Dean Witter. Wien released a list of projections, including a drop of 25% in the stock market. The strategist also said that the economy will slow down as a result of a tightening in interest rates. Internet stocks are expected to cascade as Congress moves toward an Internet sales tax and as customers complain about service.
