Learning a Language In the Throes of the Perfectionist Syndrome

How To Remove Your Mugshot From Bustedmugshots.com

Internet funds have performed well in the past two years. First Trust Internet ETF (FDN), for example, has gained 145% that is more than three times the S&P 500’s 45% gain.

Although Internet funds are viewed as sector funds, in reality, they offer exposure to companies spanning a variety of sectors.

Internet companies fall into two broad categories, those that enable the Internet to generate profits and those that use the Internet to generate profits.

Internet enablers typically fall within the information technology sector. These include companies like Cisco Systems (CSCO) and content delivery networks like Akamai Technologies (AKAM).

Internet users often hail from other sectors like consumer discretionary, financial services, or health care. Examples of such companies include:

* Amazon.com (AMZN), the largest online retailer selling goods from books to shoes

* Netflix (NFLX), an online provider of movie rental subscription services

* priceline.com (PCLN), a company offering travel-related services online

* TD AMERITRADE (AMTD), an online securities brokerage and financial services firm

* WebMD Health (WBMD), an online health care information provider for consumers and medical professionals

Additionally, behemoths like Google (GOOG) and Microsoft (MSFT) enable the Internet with search capability they provide and connect customers to businesses through their advertisements networks.

Three families offer exchange-traded entities for investing in the Internet: First Trust, Invesco PowerShares, and Merrill Lynch.

First Trust Dow Jones Internet ETF (FDN)

FDN seeks to track the price and yield performance of about 40 Internet companies included in the Dow Jones Internet Index. The fund invests in companies that derive at least 50% of their revenue online. The top 10 holdings include well-known names like Google, Amazon.com, and eBay (EBAY). The fund is relatively concentrated, with the top 10 holdings accounting for over 50% of the portfolio’s assets.

PowerShares Nasdaq Internet Portfolio (PNQI)

PNQI tracks the price performance and yield of over 50 Internet companies listed in the Nasdaq Internet Index. The top 10 holdings include Google, Yahoo! (YHOO) and Amazon.com. This fund is also concentrated, with the top 10 holdings accounting for nearly 60% of the portfolio’s assets. An interesting feature of this fund is that Chinese companies, Baidu (BIDU), SINA (SINA), and Sohu.com (SOHU), represent about 12% of the portfolio assets.

Merrill Lynch Internet HOLDRs (HHH)

Bank of America’s Merrill Lynch HOLDRs offers four Internet-related investment products: Internet HOLDRs (HHH), Internet Architecture HOLDRs (IAH), Internet Infrastructure HOLDRs (IIH), and B2B Internet HOLDRs.

Although HOLDRs (an acronym of Holding Company Depository Receipts) are traded like stock exchanges, they do not track an underlying index. The holdings include stocks of companies with which the HOLDRs were initiated in the years 1999 and 2000. Over the years, the number of holdings has declined due to the exit or takeover of some of the companies. B2B Internet HOLDRs are left with just two stocks, and Internet Infrastructure HOLDRs have less than 10 stocks. A notable omission in all of the Merrill Lynch HOLDRs is the industry titan Google.

Among these series of products, Internet HOLDRs (HHH) are worthy of consideration. Internet HOLDRs with 13 holdings arguably do not subject investors to the same degree of company concentration risk as to the other HOLDRs. However, investors in Internet HOLDRs (HHH) should that Amazon.com accounts for over 40% of this investment product.

Offering the above investment products to choose from, the Internet space has the potential to deliver the best ETFs for 2011. Sam Subramanian PhD, MBA edits AlphaProfit MoneyMatters. He blogs on topics including best mutual funds for 2011, best mutual fund picks, and best ETFs for 2011.
