Note of Thanks
Hi dabum! I was just looking around SI & saw your name & thought to myself I should thank you & KB & Libby & Arch for your cautions to me last Nov when I spotted EBAY as a short. I did short EBAY; repeatedly in fact. But much more cautiously than I would have had you folks not expressed your concerns about it. EBAY is 80ish now, up from mid 50s then. I shorted small amounts on surges & bought to cover relatively quickly a number of times before I gave up playing with it. Actually wound up in the black by a few hundred overall. Back in Nov I was thinking EBAY was ready for a big fall, & without your cautions, I might have shorted 1k shrs, hung on, & taken a beating.
---- Thanks! You folks' opinions saved me some $$$!!

regards,
diana
