Hi Michael,

I know you've seen the absurd advances made by internet stocks; have you bought any puts on them yet? The last time I looked at eBay's fundamentals it had some outlandish numbers:

Price/Book (mrq)
100.43
Price/Earnings (ttm)
3052.24
Price/Sales (ttm)
114.57

For a company that may not have earnings at every quarter next year the jump of over $10 in price today seem to be nothing but fluff. Do you think this salmon can keep climbing during December?

NI

P.S. "mrq" = most recent quarter
"ttm" = trading twelve month (through Sept. 1998)
