Garbage Internet Stocks: Short the hype!

Introduction Compact

YHOO, AMZN, AOL, well what can you say. They seem untouchable right now. But what about KTEL (twice now), GMAI, INFO, and related garbage like AVCO? These aren't second tier Internet companies, these boys are fifth-tier, last-tier Internet companies. Some have microscopic sales, others have massive amounts of preferred conversions and so on. In my opinion, there are sure to be plenty more slam-dunk Internet shorting opportunities in the near future. What does your cyrstal ball say?
