Top Internet Stocks To Invest In Right Now

The bad new is, if you didn't catch my first bullish call on DragonWave, Inc. (NASDAQ:DRWI) from November 21st, you missed out on what would have been about a 20% gain. The good news is, it's still not too late to get into DRWI and rack up a very nice profit. In fact, the best days for DragonWave may be in front of it.

First things first. DragonWave, Inc. makes networking equipment for high-end and back-end service providers... not the router you have in your house, but more like the huge routers your corporation or your local internet service provider might employ. As I noted back in November, DRWI was a $62 million company that generated $116 million in sales for its prior four quarters - a complete mismatch of sales and size, even if the company wasn't turning a profit yet. In the meantime the market cap has grown to $77 million, but compared to the tailing revenue of $116 million and the projected revenue of $163 million for 2014, there's still a ton of value packed in here. And, the recent news has all been bullish.

  Of course, banks can't know when an attack is merely disruptive, and when it may be covering for criminal activity. Security company Symantec (NASDAQ: SYMC  ) has commented that these assaults have become a way for hackers to distract banks while funds are illegally withdrawn. Though most of the thefts have occurred in Europe, where attacks have progressed from website outages to actual bank heists, at least one U.S. bank, Citigroup, disclosed some losses due to cyber thievery earlier this year.

  For some reason, certain companies can attract buyers no matter the circumstance. I would put Symantec (SYMC) in that category. Shares have gained nearly 20% this year even as Symantec�� prospects deteriorated.

  AP/Jim Mone Is Bitcoin a slam-dunk as the currency of the future? The Sacramento Kings seem to think so. The NBA team recently became the first pro sports franchise to accept Bitcoin as a form of payment. Basketball fans will be able not only to purchase tickets and merchandise online with the digital cryptocurrency, but also to use it to buy souvenirs at the arena come game time. The team is the latest in a growing number of commercial entities finding a slot in their virtual cash registers for Bitcoin. Little by little, momentum is building for a widespread acceptance of the upstart currency. Overstocking The Kings' drive towards the Bitcoin basket comes a week after the big online retailer Overstock.com (OSTK) announced it would start accepting payments in the currency. The move was an instant hit -- the first day the company had the nifty Bitcoin button as an option in its shopping cart, its customers used it to make more than 800 transactions for total sales of around $130,000. Overstock.com was by no means the first online marketplace to accept the currency. Numerous web retailers have been doing so for some time. It's a natural fit, %VIRTUAL-article-sponsoredlinks in a way, since Bitcoin exists solely in the digital realm. Customers booking flights on discount travel operator CheapAir.com, for example, can use Bitcoin to buy their tickets, as can love seekers on dating site OkCupid, owned by IAC/InteractiveCorp (IACI). These digital players are going to have plenty of company. Earlier this month, online games purveyor Zynga (ZNGA) started to dip its toes in the water, announcing that it was testing Bitcoin payments for some of its titles in conjunction with specialist transaction facilitator BitPay. But if Overstock.com didn't get there first, it's still the largest and most prominent e-retailer to take the Bitcoin plunge thus far. This is a big win for the currency and its advocates, and Overstock.com will surely be followed by more well-known comp

  Suddenly, Google (NASDAQ: GOOG  ) is getting grabby. According to a report from the Google Operating System, a new service called Google Mine is in the works that would allow Google+ users to document and share what they own.
  
  All Google will say is that it is always working on new things. No news there. But imagine if Google Mine does come to be. Not only could you share notes about your collections, or document valuables for insurance purposes, but you could also Imagine a barter system whereby you sell or trade via Google+, with any money exchanged via Google Wallet. A tailored credit or debit card might not be far behind, says Fool contributor Tim Beyers in the following video.
  
  At the very least, the idea threatens eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY  ) . The company depends on an ever-increasing volume of transactions to fund growth. In Q1, the auctioneer was responsible for $49 billion worth of commerce. By 2015, eBay wants to enable $300 billion in commerce annually, up from $175 billion last year. Google Mine, like Craigslist before it, could stand in the way of that.
  
  Do you agree? Please watch the video to get Tim's full take, and then let us know if having Google Mine would make you more or less bullish on the search king's long-term prospects.

  Google has updated its installation policies for AdWords affiliates such as browser toolbar makers which became active for most companies early this year. This change led to a number of articles on Seeking Alpha making a short case for AVG and Perion as well as some rebuttals from me and other authors. The biggest flaw in the "short case" was a failure to recognize that Google is not the only game in town. While Google commands a dominant 68% search market share, Bing (MSFT) with 18% and Yahoo (YHOO) with 11% are desperate to keep pace and do not impose equally onerous terms on its affiliates. Conduit dumped Google for Bing almost three years ago for US users. I speculate that the new company will become a predominantly Bing shop (Yahoo also runs on Bing with revenue sharing) removing remaining headwinds from Google policy changes, which put a dent in Perion's and Conduit's revenue this year. If Perion switches to Conduit's search page and toolbar, the switch to Bing for US users would become immediate and automatic.

  3. The company sells a lot of items that seem out of place. Once I got out of the apparel sections and into the areas selling kitchen appliances and home goods, I noticed that a lot of the products being sold didn�� really mesh with what I envision as the future of JCP. A great example of this was a rack of 50 to 100 boxes of K-cups and Nespresso pods. I simply cannot imagine who comes to Penney�� to load up capsules for their single-serve coffee machine (and after looking at the rapidly approaching expiration date on many of the boxes, the answer might be that not many people do). Thinking about the strategy as presented by Johnson, it is about product quality, with a focus on differentiated experiences and offerings. What the company will do in sections like kitchen to eliminate the plethora of cheap appliances and other trinkets that have no real place in the store and face direct competition with the Walmarts (WMT) and Amazons (AMZN) of the world is still a bit unclear to me.

  Barnes & Noble has been struggling for years as the content medium has shifted drastically from print to digital platforms. With such a large brick-and-mortar presence around the U.S., its stores have struggled to keep up with faster-growing online platforms like Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN  ) and even eBay to some extent. Although Barnes & Noble does have a direct-to-consumer online department, the brand name, convenience, and, in many cases, the lower price that Amazon and eBay can offer consumers pushes them to purchase hardback books online from the comfort of their own home.
