So, you think you're a big shot Internet investor, huh?
You own Yahoo! (YHOO). You own Amazon.com (AMZN). You rolled the dice
and picked up eBay (EBAY). You bold gambler, you.
Big fat deal!
A stroll through Investment Finder to look for the
year's top Internet winners so far (through Apr. 14)
shows that while Yahoo! has gained a solid 62%
since January, the real juggernaut of 1999 has been
new-economy direct marketer Marketing Services
Group (MSGI), up 1,360%. If you had put $1,000
into the little Web wonder as part of your New Year's Day celebration, you'd have a
hefty $14,300 today. If you'd put that money into Yahoo!, you'd have $1,600. If
you'd put it into software maker Aspect Development (ASDV), 1999's biggest loser
so far, we're sorry. You'd only have 160 bucks left.
Others on 1999's roster of top-performing stocks haven't quite kept pace with
Marketing Services Group, but they have produced amazing returns. We've listed
them below. Not surprisingly, all but one have an Internet connection.
