Hot Stocks!!

I just saw a CNN news article on ebay

The company announced early Monday it had signed a deal with Google to allow the No. 1 search engine to exclusively display text ads on its non-US Internet auction sites. 26.00+0.70 / +2.77%47.86 - 22.83

Now im a real noob here but is this as good as it sounds?

By the time you read it on the news... its already too late.

So what would be a good way for non-active traders to capitalise on such an event?

What or where should i be watching to get ideas on possible "hot stocks" in the future?
