some interesting comments on eBay... <<...Ten years ago eBay was founded by Pierre Omidyar as a means to help his fiancée find other PEZ collectors on the Internet. Today, eBay is a $4 billion company with a $60 billion market cap. If it grew its revenues at 35% for the next 10-years, and had the same proportion of revenues to market cap, it would imply eBay would have $80 billion in revenue and a market value of $1.2 trillion! (Or about 9% of today’s overall U.S. equity market value.) We like to think nothing is impossible but this is less likely than Roger Clemens winning the Cy Young award at age 52. So while our admiration for eBay is gigantic, and last week’s 18% correction (or $12 billion) seems silly given that the company only missed Wall Street estimates by a penny, and earnings still rose a sensational 44%; investors still need to acknowledge that future growth won’t be as spectacular as the past...>> thinkequity.com
