However, to use that as a reason to permanently avoid investing in Internet stocks would be to ignore the fact that these will certainly be the emerging growth companies of the future once all the hype has died down. According to Peter Cohan, what is needed most is a disciplined approach to Internet investing. At the heart of any such investment strategy must be a search for Internet companies that have real, viable and sustainable business models. In E-Stocks, the author offers seven methods to help investors find the profitable Internet stocks of the future. This thoroughly-researched book also provides the reader with useful tips and tools to invest in the hyped world of Internet stocks.
