But here's one: after last week's rout, dot.com stocks are 40% to 60% off their peaks, and investors are finding there is no safety net in Netland. For those with faith and a long investment horizon, discounted prices today are compelling. That's why the bloodbath didn't turn into a bigger catastrophe. Early last Thursday, Net stocks were in free fall and touching their lowest levels of the year. Enough investors suddenly viewed them as bargains so that prices turned...

Audiences today have a love-to-hate relationship with Hollywood and the media; we've supported Beavis and Butt-head's meta-media sarcasm and David Letterman's roasting of TV bigs. It's a short step from a late-night joke about CBS chief Les Moonves to the name dropping that has become easy punch-line fodder on even bland fare...
