Scroll down towards bottom for Dell BullTrade.com Announces Investment Opinion; BullTrade.com Announces Top 10 Picks for the Internet for 1999 BUSINESS WIRE SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 1, 1999--"The Internet is unlike any medium we've encountered before," states BullTrade.com (http://www.bulltrade.com) president, Joseph Pugno. "The Internet provides people with limitless ways of communication. Newspapers, television, radio, and the telephone have been wrapped up into one package, and still the large majority of people is unaware of its presence or incomparable abilities. Those who are true Internet users have become aware of the countless tools available on the Internet." BullTrade.com has released a list of the top 10 Internet stocks to watch for 1999. 1. America Online (NYSE:AOL) -- The world's largest ISP, with a membership base of over 16 million, grows by over 1 million members every 40 days. Whatever the future of the Internet may be, AOL is sure to be a part of it. Oh, did we mentioned how important Netscape (Nasdaq:NSCP) is in those plans? Put simply, they're essential. 2. Yahoo (Nasdaq:YHOO) -- A portal? A search engine? A media company? Yahoo is a bit of everything rolled into one, and by everything, we mean EVERYTHING. Whether you want your dog groomed, the phone number of an old high-school friend, or information on tourism in Zambia, Yahoo's got it. With the recent acquisition of Geocities (Nasdaq:GCTY), which would've been on our list separately if not acquired, Yahoo's going to have more eyeballs than AOL or Microsoft (Nasdaq:MSFT). (Until the AOL/NSCP merger is completed) 3. Amazon.com (Nasdaq:AMZN) -- The world's largest e-tailer...in a sense the Wal-mart (NYSE:WMT) of the World Wide Web. It used to be just books -- but now it's music, video, games, and growing. 4. Ebay (Nasdaq:EBAY) -- Interested in buying an Elvis doll? Always been looking for your own slot machine? These, and much, much more can be auctioned on the world's largest auction -- which just happens to be on a Web-site. This company has a bright future for many reasons. There are a lot of visitors, a lot of pages for ad space, and users spend a lot of time on the site. 5. and 6. Earthlink (Nasdaq:ELNK) and Mindspring (Nasdaq:MSPG) (in no particular order) Both ISPs boast over a million subscribers, and both will probably have twice that much, or more, next year at this time. We feel that actual paying subscribers will soon prove to be more valuable than eyeballs on the Web. After all, you usually don't have to pay to surf once you have access, but where are you going to get access? If you've grown out of [ America Online ] , chances are you'll run to one of these two. 7. Network Solutions (Nasdaq:NSOL) -- With "big brother" peering over their shoulder, Network Solutions has stamped a .com, .net, .org, or .edu over 3.4 million times. Without their efficient registration of domain names, where would we be? (Probably watching T.V. or in a book somewhere) 8. Dell Computer (Nasdaq:DELL) -- "Dell Computer?" you're asking yourself. Well, that's right. Dell is in a lot of ways, the perfect example of the future of the Internet. Dell is huge in its "real world" business, but it is also the king of the Web in many ways. Dell's latest quarter resulted in $5.17 billion in revenue. But what many people fail to realize is that 25% of those sales were...(drum roll, please) over the Internet! Dell sold $14 million in computers over the Net every day, and that number is growing at break-neck speed. It's hard to find an "Internet" company with more revenue than Dell -- in fact, didn't Dell's Internet revenues exceed AOL's? The answer is yes. news-real.com
