Internet Market Close Report for 1999.02.10

We think we’re near the bottom of the Internet stock selloff that hammered
the ISDEX down more than 20% the past week. This is the 20% correction we
predicted in fourth quarter 1998 would come in Spring 1999. Our view is it’s a
good thing, take some of the top off and remove some of the spec cowboys from
the game.

Signs the Internet sector is coming back appear in the blips in a few of the
stocks in ISDEX, with the IPO market also showing some strength as two deals
begin trading today after selling at the top or more of the filing range.
