SILICON VALLEY - Netscape Communications cofounder Marc Andreessen played his business hand close to the vest on Tuesday when he announced the formation of his new startup company, Loudcloud. Aside from naming a management team, he gave no details about the business, other than to say it plans to help Internet companies navigate the complexities of e-commerce.

NEW YORK - Here's an investment strategy that would keep Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan tossing and turning at night: 10 percent gold and the rest in Internet stocks. Sounds crazy? Yes. But this is a Brave New World and people's ideas of investing for their old age are indeed revolutionary.
