EBay did OK and then some
EBay(EBAY: news, msgs) impressed investors with a Monday earnings
report, beating expectations by 3 cents a share. And at SiliconInvestor's
EBay message board, there was a lot of back patting going on. One
longtime poster, Doug Fowler, said, "The point I have tried to make in this
thread all along was that here was finally a chance for the small investor to
keep constant track of EBay's financial health, through the monitoring of
auction counts, and have an ADVANTAGE over the so-called gurus on
Wall Street. This 70 percent growth over the Christmas quarter is simply
phenomenal, and much higher than Yahoo's (YHOO: news, msgs) 15
percent increase or whatever Amazon (AMZN: news, msgs) or AOL
(AOL: news, msgs) will report this week." HECTOR RUBERT liked
EBay's earnings and news that it's acquiring high-brow auction house
Butterfield & Butterfield. "Revenue growth of over 400 percent, and they
just acquired a high-class auction company, (which) will add new audience
reach and increase their profit margins. EBay is just beginning, folks." Other
messages were short and sweet. Peter Blanchard ..."EBay longs, sleep
well tonight." And a message to one investor who played EBay the other
way; happy_girl ..."You shorted EBay? EBay? Oh my gosh! May God
take care of you tomorrow!"
