I'm not so sure I'd rely too much on a comparison of VVUS and EBAY. VVUS (which I shorted in the 60s -- the day before the final short squeeze) was a company riding one product that everyone knew was soon to be obsolete (as a result of the coming of Viagra). EBAY is in no such position now. In fact, EBAY is in an enviable position -- if it plays its cards right, it has the ability to control virtually the entire internet 'person to person' auction (i.e. classified) business. A potentially huge business, tailor made for the web. EBAY stands to grow dramatically from here. Not roll over. That said, I have no position in the stock. But I would in a heartbeat if the stock dropped to -- gulp -- double digits.
