Description: What is the brightest new star in the financial news firmament? TheStreet.com, the Internet Web site cofounded by James Cramer that features dozens of the best-known financial columnists and reporters in the business. With more than three million unique visitors a month -- and millions of others who follow TheStreet.com's up-to-the-minute news at NYTimes.com, AOL, and Yahoo, the site has, since its inception three years ago, become the way informed investors discover what's hot and what's not in the stock market and on Wall Street. Written with refreshing clarity and an irresistible touch of attitude by editor-in-chief Dave Kansas, and featuring contributions from TheStreet.com's premier columnists and specialists, "TheStreet.Com Guide to Smart Investing in the Internet Era" lays bare fundamentals such as:
-- How to use the tremendous resources of the Internet to research, screen, and select the stocks to invest in, as well as the ones to sell
-- How mergers, management changes, acquisitions, or changes in a company's profile affect the price of a stock
-- How to build a portfolio that best suits an individual's age, goals, and risk tolerance
-- How to identify stocks TheStreet.com calls "High Drivers" (growth stocks poised to beat the market), "Core Performers" (solid investment opportunities in various sectors of the economy), and "Income Drivers" (safer stocks with a dividend kick)

Beyond these basics, the book offers informed advice on evaluating volatile Internet stocks in the hot business-to-business sector or the business-to-consumer sector (such as Amazon, eBay, or Yahoo). And, for readers who want to supercharge their portfolios, there's a special section onweighting one's investments toward high-tech -- from "old tech" giants like Cisco Systems and Intel, to new stars like Amazon and AOL, to up-and-comers such as JDS Uniphase, Red Hat, and VA Linux Systems.

Slightly more sophisticated but as down-to-earth as The Motley Fool books, "The Street.Com Guide to Smart Investing in the Internet Era" is destined to be the investment book for the new millennium.
