Internet Stock News wishes to advise readers that this is not an
investment opinion, but rather a survey by our analysts of the various
leading Internet companies in their various sectors.
The Ones to Watch in 1999!:
At Home (Nasdaq:ATHM.O): home.net, provides Internet
access at over 100x what your average ISP can provide and is the
leader in high-speed Internet access.
CMGI (Nasdaq:CMGI.O): cmgi.com, is a publicly traded
Internet venture capital company. This company owns large positions up
to 100 percent complete ownership in over 20 leading Internet
companies. The company has had the insight to invest in AOL, Lycos,
GeoCities, and many others and has received an almost 5000 percent
return on equity.
DoubleClick (Nasdaq:DCLK.O): doubleclick.com, Internet
advertising is supposed to reach billions of dollars by the year 2000.
DoubleClick is the leading Internet advertising agency and leaders
such as Yahoo!, Ebay, and Amazon.com have consistently received the
highest valuations of all Internet companies.
Etrade (Nasdaq:EGRP.O): etrade.com, is the leading
online broker. There are very few industries that can reap large
amounts of scalability from the Internet and online trading is, in our
view, currently No. 1.
Excite (Nasdaq:XCIT.O): excite.com , is considered to be
No. 2 in the Internet portal race but has been ignored as of late due
to new Internet initial public offerings and cyclical Internet stock
movement.
FreeRealTime.com (OTC BB:FRTI.O): freerealtime.com ,
This small company has one of the most viewed financial sites in the
industry and is stated to have more page views than CBS MarketWatch,
Dow Jones, CNBC Online, and Schwab online. They provide free real time
quotes for users on our site and they generate revenues through online
advertising and commerce.
Onsale (Nasdaq:ONSL.O): onsale.com , While AOL has spent
years achieving 15 million subscribers did someone forget that Onsale
has spent far less logging 9 million bids? With a major alliance with
Yahoo! to provide online exchange similar to Ebay as well as small
business auctions Onsale may receive some more recognition in 1999.
Real Networks (Nasdaq:RNWK.O): real.com , is the leader
in Internet broadcast media. Real Networks provides broadcast content
using the Real Player software downloaded to over 70 million PC's and
specific channels such as Bloomberg and ABC News.
SportsLine USA (Nasdaq:SPLN.O): sportsline.com , This
company is working on No. 2 or 3 in the online Sports content sector
and competes with ESPN.com and CNNSI.com for online sports network.
This company is the first pure-play publicly-traded Internet sports
brand similar to the pure-plays of Yahoo!, Ebay, or Amazon.com.
Spyglass (Nasdaq:SPYG.O): spyglass.com , is the leading
company working to Internet-enable consumer devices. Today, the
company's products are used in everything from smart gas pumps,
vending machines, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), office machines
and Web enabled telephones and pagers.
Starnet Communications (OTC BB:SNMM): starnet.ca ,
Internet gaming, banned from the United States, is huge in other
countries. Whether it be craps, roulette, slots, horseracing, sports
wagering, etc., this is an industry that is ridiculously scalable and
Starnet is the leader out of the publicly traded companies on the U.S.
exchanges. This company has been called the "Microsoft" of Internet
gaming.
Ticketmaster/CitysearchOnline (Nasdaq:TMCS):
citysearch.com , provides a brand name and backing by Barry
Diller of USA Networks to provide local information and services to
Web surfers worldwide.
Others worth considering:
Barnesandnoble.com: barnesandnoble.com , This company
postponed their IPO just recently but then their parent company
announced plans to purchase Ingram Book, one of the largest
distributors in the world.
CDNow/Music Boulevard (Nasdaq:CDNW, Nasdaq:NTKI):
cdnow.com , musicboulevard.com , Combine CDNow's
vast purchase networks created from their long-standing history on the
Internet along with Music Boulevard's comprehensive online content and
you get the leading online music company.
CNET (Nasdaq:CNET): cnet.com , CNET is one of the most
frequented online networks on the Internet and is a co-owner with NBC
of Snap.com. Traditional media networks will enter the race with full
force very soon and we have barely scratched the surface of this
evolution.
Lycos (Nasdaq:LCOS): lycos.com , Lycos is one of the
largest online portal networks in the world. As the rumor of a CBS
buyout last summer, the company will no doubt be eyed by many media
firms. If consolidation hits, an Excite-Lycos partnership or the
similar may occur.
So there you have it, our favorite companies for growth in 1999.
Remember that while Excite and Lycos get decent valuations, leaders
like Yahoo! receive much higher valuations. These companies are some
of the leaders and their various Internet sectors.
