Summary: This book is a must for thinking investors
Review: Clark and Neill have done it again. With a combination of clarity and foresight spiced with humor, Net Value is a guide book for looking at tomorrows investing today. For an insightful and revealing look at the value of Internet-related stocks, this book is excellent.

Summary: Get information but sometimes hard to follow
Review: I gave this book a less than stellar rating because it is simply hard to read. Following all the acronyms and financial terms was hard enough, but the book was written too much like a text book for brokers and financial gurus. That being said, the information in this book is of the 5 star quality and is well worth the effort of digging for if one is considering any kind of investing in the stock market, especially the high tech sectors.The sarcastic wit and biting humor found in the pages are a real bonus, the authors make their points and then add interesting quotes, articles or they simply point out the patently obvious (making the point that the information wasn't all that obvious to millions that lost billions of dollars in bad investments). Bubba Greaterfool is their name for the poor sucker that bought into the hype, didn't know what he was doing, probably never heard of the great tulip market, thought that the sky was the limit and then got stuck holding the empty bag as the hot air was expelled from the over inflated stocks that made up the tech stocks of 96-00. My main complaint with this book is that it isn't written in a way that would appeal to or be read by the general public, Bubba especially. And he is the guy that really needs this information. I would highly recommend reading this to anyone that handles their own stock investments or plans too, the information is too valuable to ignore and the insight can be used to gauge other markets besides just tech stocks (remember the silver fiasco in the early eighties?) As for casual readers I would recommending passing on this offering as it is just too much work to read, but keep it in mind if you ever consider buying that stock that just can't possibly do anything but go up...

Summary: Funny yet serious!
Review: This book is timely, up-to-date and makes some predictions which are proving to be amazingly accurate. Its tounge-in-cheek prose makes for a great read - I have a much better understanding of the dotcom land after reading this - highy recommended

Summary: Funny yet serious!
Review: This was a good book, but their other book, The Value Mandate, was easier to read, and it looked better. The interior design of this book is hard on the eyes. It's not approprite for a business book. The Value Mandate LOOKS like a business book --- this book does not.
