The Internet remains the hottest stock market sector in late 1999 with expenditures in this segment expected to exceed $500 bil in the year compared to $300 bil in 1998. Electronic commerce sales are forecast to be greater than $12 bil in the 1999 holiday shopping season, and other forms of electronic commerce, such as online stock trading, are increasing, as well, although competition is tough. There are many stock choices for short-term investments in this industry, but selections for the next three to five years are more difficult to make.

These stocks are best suited for the most aggressive investors, although the industry is expected to trend higher in coming years.
