He has led our research efforts on LCSG and several other internet stocks we have presented. If you have specific questions or comments, e-mail him at alexsvs@erols.com When looking for internet businesses that offer great investment potential, we have often tried to find companies with a core growth business that is itself a value stock, coupled with a new or evolving subsidiary that is an internet play. We've also focused on the pure internet plays which are a somewhat more leveraged bet (more upside potential but riskier), but the multiple business approach offers some sector diversification within one security. >>> SKIPING to NPEC related info now The company, The Ultimate Cigar Company (OTC BB: ULTC) (Soon to be renamed UltimateDirect.com) recently acquired massive distribution channels for its cigar business which by itself sells at only 1X sales with good margins.

It combines the principles of prepaid phone cards with e-commerce... A powerful combination.
