50 Stocks Named to Coolcat Tech Bubble Survivors Index

CoolcatReport.com, a publisher of leading investment newsletters, has established the Coolcat Tech Bubble Survivors Index to help investors remember the lessons of the 2000 Nasdaq Tech Bubble while profiting from the emerging tech leaders of a much more sober New Economy.

CoolcatReport.com introduced the Coolcat Tech Bubble Survivors Index when it launched its fifth newsletter, The Coolcat Technology Plus Report, this past Sunday. Interested tech investors can mail Coolcat@CoolcatReport.com to get a free copy of the premiere edition as well as the second issue to be sent in July.

The new Coolcat Tech Bubble Survivors Index includes 50 Nasdaq tech and Internet stocks which soared above $100 in 1999-2000 before falling to single digits at some point. The equally-weighted index started with a value of 1,000 as of May 31. Each tech stock in the index represents 1/50 of the index, or 2%.

Nasdaq 100 Internet stocks Amazon.com and Yahoo! headline the Coolcat Tech Bubble Survivors Index. While most of the other 48 tech stocks are not exactly household names, they should stir vivid memories for investors who were active at the height of the Nasdaq Tech Bubble.

CoolcatReport.com Publisher Kevin Kennedy started with a simple premise: to identify the strongest-performing tech stocks of the 1999-2000 Nasdaq Tech Bubble that were still trading on the Nasdaq National Market on May 31, 2006. While a lot of emphasis was on the performance of the tech stocks from 1998-1999 to the end of 2000, Kennedy also wanted the list to also reflect tech companies that are viable today.

To do that he required all tech companies making the list to have a market capitalization of at least $250 million and average trading volume of at least 200,000 shares per day over the past three months. The companies also couldn't have gone bankrupt and then come back to life.

Kennedy considered more than a dozen indicators and looked closely at about 80 tech and Internet stocks. To find out what factors were considered, please email Coolcat@CoolcatReport.com to receive two free reports of The Coolcat Technology Plus Report.
