Just when it looked like e-retailing and selling Internet access were total busts, Wall Street has been getting back into the stocks. Some Internet firms, just last year burning cash and flirting with bankruptcy, are now getting traction as they cut costs and prove they can make money online.

After last week's strong earnings report, there is a lot of positive buzz surrounding eBay. However, this columnist can't justify the company's P/E ratio right now, and thinks this seemingly invincible etailer will have to take a hit before it's a buy. (source: Upside) http://upside.com/Opinion/3ae48e1717.html Amazon.com on Tuesday reported a first-quarter operating loss that was slightly less than what it told Wall Street to expect earlier this month, on stronger-than-expected sales. The leading Internet retailer said it lost $49 million, or 22 cents per share, excluding extraordinary charges, a penny less than expectations.

Adding insult to injury, eCompany provides its 101 dumbest moments in e-business history. You'll note that the founding of InvestorGuide.com is nowhere to be found on this list. (source: eCompany) http://www.ecompany.com/edit/0,,11274,00.html |

When Amazon.com unexpectedly told investors this week that revenues in the first quarter would be bigger — and losses smaller — than folks had anticipated, the news set a fire under Amazon.com’s stock price that quickly spread through much of Nasdaq and even the Dow. Yet a review of what Amazon.com actually claims to have achieved suggests that not enough is yet known about the quarter to justify much excitement at all. (source: MSNBC) http://www.msnbc.com/news/558564.asp With the first 100 days of his presidency coming to a close at the end of this month, U.S. President George W. Bush has yet to articulate a formal e-commerce strategy. As a result, experts are wondering how much Bush will help - or hinder - the industry.

Amazon.com joined forces with bookseller Borders Group to launch a new co-branded Web site that would leave inventory and fulfillment in Amazon's hands. The deal marks the second time Amazon has partnered with an offline retailer to handle its online store (the company took over Toys "R" Us' web operations last year).

Amazon.com said Monday it'll post stronger-than-expected first quarter results, but the online retailer is still swimming in red ink. The company said it expects to beat Wall Street's estimates of a 30-cent loss by 8 cents. News of the results sparked an immediate rally on Wall Street at Monday's open. (source: MarketWatch) http://cbs.marketwatch.com/news/story.asp?guid=%7B9B445C03%2DD965%2D473D%2DBBD1%2DC4C67B757E7C%7D Investors hotfooted it into Amazon.com stock after the company surprised Wall Street with a strong earnings forecast Monday. But analysts who cover the stock are waiting for the other shoe to drop. (source: The Street) http://www.thestreet.com/tech/internet/1382748.html |

John Hagel, one of the best-known authorities on the Internet, hardly appears to be losing sleep over the year-long decline of dot-coms. In fact, he is quite optimistic about the future of e-business in general, provided the industry wakes up to the need for new strategies. (source: CNET) http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1007-200-5198023.html The leaders of the Internet world are rushing into the abyss, coming up with new ways to charge users for their once-free services every day. The latest entrant in the pay-to-play derby is Yahoo, which will offer "premium" financial information for a monthly fee. It's a tempting strategy to follow. Who can pass up multiple revenue streams, however much of a trickle they may be at first? But this columnist argues that most Internet companies need to have the guts to stand alone. They should choose a different direction. They should adopt New Hamsphire's state motto: Live Free or Die. (source: E-Commerce Times) http://www.ecommercetimes.com/perl/story/8765.html |

The Web-only e-tailers played an important historical role: They proved that people would buy stuff online, and the threat they posed forced the giants of retail to jump into the game. In the end, the irony is that the once-vilified bricks-and-mortar chains are now emerging as the players that will ultimately make e-tailing work. (source: eCompany) http://www.ecompany.com/articles/mag/0,1640,9599,00.html Shares of Web auctioneer eBay have climbed 76% since a December 2000 low of $20.75. Contrast that with fellow Internet "blue chip" and competitor Yahoo, whose stock has slid 42% during the same time period. EBay trades at 96 times its projected 2001 earnings per share. Is the stock a buy? (source: Forbes) http://www.forbes.com/2001/03/26/0323streetfight.html |

Staples earlier this week admitted defeat in its plan to spin off its Internet unit as a separate company. The online unit, Staples.com, posted a loss of $11.5 million last year, and doing a public offering of the unit was clearly impossible given the general market downturn. But the way Staples is unwinding the failed spinoff plan has raised lots of eyebrows on Wall Street. (source: MSNBC) http://www.msnbc.com/news/548611.asp |

Institutional investors are upping their stakes in some downtrodden e-commerce stocks, which remain fairly volatile despite the conventional wisdom that such large investors as mutual fund and pension managers can stabilize a stock. (source: CNET) http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1007-200-5195495.html |
