Will the Net 'bubble' last?

Article Abstract:

Many investors are being attracted to Internet-related stocks in the hope of large gains in the future. However, experts warn that it is very difficult for private investors to select future Internet success. Most of the small number of Internet companies with stock market quotations have actually floated only a limited proportion of their shares. Shortage of supply has pushed prices up to very high levels. Those seeking exposure to the Internet should consider Framlington's new NetNet fund, the first UK-based unit trust focusing on investing in Internet companies.

Small can bring big returns

Article Abstract:

It is important to focus on solid, long-term performance, according to fund manager Richard Smith, whose responsibilities include managing the Lazard UK Small Companies Growth Trust. He feels that there is a growing difference in the small-cap market between the 'emerging companies' and the 'submerging companies,' and emphasizes the need to invest in emerging companies which are effectively managed. He feels that there are a number of sectors to avoid, including textiles and retail.
