Ike, as a Stock Idea of the Day, I really liked how Ebay hung tough and was the first of the nets to turn upward today. I was reading Tuesday NY Times and the cover page had an article about the popularity of the auction sites and in particular Ebay. February had 6.5 million unique users. In addition to this my wife, who deals in antiques, went to a week long antique show in the fields of Texas, and the buzz in the fields was how much money they are all making on Ebay. The stories were countless. Many of the persons my wife spoke to had never used a computer before they decided to pursue ebay. Both buying and selling. In addition the sales in the "fields" were apparently great also, and the comments were people were buying to put things on Ebay. I find it fascinating how the power of the internet and business models like ebay can spread like wild fire to persons who never were interested in computers...Just something to think about with Ebay's earnings on the 26th coming..good be like sch.

Thanks again for your great posts. I too, look forward to your market analysis daily.

Kurt
