AN INTERVIEW WITH A FUND LEADER

Question: Do you invest in pure Internet companies only? Or, in other words, companies with a .com at the end of their name?

Chris Bell: No. We invest in three distinct market sectors and the percentage of the portfolio in each changes as our view alters. Currently, around 45% of the portfolio is in the shares of pure Internet companies. Last summer we had under 30% in this sector of the market. There was a big sell-off of pure Internet companies last summer because of concern about US interest rates. We saw the share prices of some of the bellwethers of the sector, such as Amazon.com, halving. Come September we thought the sell off had become too big and began to increase our weighting in this area of the market.

The second area we invest in is technology infrastructure. Our holdings include companies such as Cisco Systems, Intel and Oracle. These companies develop systems to speed up the functioning of the Internet and 45% of the portfolio is in this area of the market.

The other 10% of the portfolio is invested in Internet-related companies. This can be any company we feel will benefit from the growth of the Internet.

"The market is having to come to terms with valuation measures".

In other words, the market is having to

A) establish their legal dispositions.

B) accept them.

C) predict them.

D) compete against them.

E) invest in them.

STOCK OPTIONS

Twenty years ago, the biggest component of executive compensation was cash, in the form of salaries and bonuses. Stock options were just a footnote. Now the reverse is true. With astounding speed, stock option grants have come to dominate the pay - and often the wealth - of top executives throughout the United States. Last year, Jack Welch's unexercised GE options were valued at more than $260 million. Intel CEO Craig Barrett's were worth more than $100 million. Michael Eisner exercised 22 million options on Disney stock in 1988 alone, netting more than a half-billion dollars. In total, U.S. executives hold unexercised options worth tens of billions of dollars.

A) The gain when all expenses have been paid.

B) An amount of money earned in total.
