RESEARCH ALERT-Barnes & Nobletarget raised NEW YORK, Dec 29 (Reuters) - Morgan Stanley Dean Witter analyst Bruce Missett said Tuesday he raised Barnes & Noble Inc's target price to $45 from $35 per share. -- Missett reiterated the company's outperform rating. Missett based his change on the increasing recognition of the significance of the Internet retail portion of the business. Missett lowered his fiscal year 1998 EPS estimates to $0.80 from $0.90 and his 2000 estimates to $1.20 from $1.35 based on slightly more conservative core bookstore estimates, greater Internet losses and inclusion of the proposed Ingram acquisition. -- Shares were up 1-2/16 at 41-3/16 on Tuesday morning.

William,re:"brand name..". I think established store (brandname) has advantange on their locations. While pure Web-base store has all the other advantage (low cost structure, convenience/virtual locations). Since I live in big city, it would be nice for me to 'Shop ont the Web', check availabiliy, price... and just PICK IT UP down the road, no shipping and handling. Also, return is as easy as before while the shopping is much better. There was a $2 stock (retailer) on American exchange yesterday, mentioned that it has intention to sell on the WEB, the stock rised 800%+. AMaZiNg, eh. There will be winners(count with one hand) and losers. I believe AMZN, AOL, YHOO, CSCO, LU, TXN, SUNW, DELL, CPQ, MSFT are the sure winners on this 'web-trend', (THE KILLER APPL). Maybe a couple of Jewels as EBAY kind hidden among the sands. I haven't owned any web-stock yet, the one came close to me were: AMZN, AOL (in that order, timeline). But correction should come early next year.
