Fear in Europe, the Lycos way

from the why-did-their-stock-drop dept

It’s interesting to see the difference in reporting techniques involving the recent Lycos Europe IPO. News.com seemed to report it as a total success. Even though, the BBC pointed out that after the IPO the stock dropped considerably. They also pointed out that other tech stocks have also had a disappointing performance here in Europe. It could be just a temporary market disagreement with European dot coms or it could be the much more freightening edge of the internet bubble here in Europe.
