Step Aside! Here Come the 'Net StocksThe Internet stocks last week continued their awe-inspiring run -- Amazon.com, Lycos, Yahoo! and the rest of the crew all posted big gains. In some ways, it's not hard to understand. The killer application for all those cheap boxes is Internet access. Plunging PC prices make many investors nervous about the prospects for mainline tech stocks. The supply of Internet-related companies in the public market is still relatively slim, especially for institutional investors seeking mid-cap and large-cap names. So the market keeps finding new ways to ratchet up their already astounding valuations.</p> <p>David Simons, managing director of Digital Video Investments, observes that this year's mania for Internet stocks has spread far beyond the likes of Yahoo! and He counts at least 39 Internet-related stocks that finished the first quarter with gains of at least 25%. Of that group, 18 advanced 100% or better. We'd ask you to guess which companies gained the most, but you'd never do it. So here goes. Preview Travel, up 330%, tops the list. The rest of the best, with their year-to-date gains: SmartServ Online, 225%. Sportsline USA, 201%.
