My Morgan broker is saying that Mary Meeker is backing off on her support of EBAY as the expenses associated with the outages are going to be high and the risk:reward isn't good in the near-term without a catalyst and a volatile stock. Longer-term, she likes it but thinks its vulnerable.

William:

TheStreet.Com seems hellbent on driving down the price of eBay, now that Cramer is out of it. Seems like they post a negative story every day. Today, they were harping on the auction count slowdown...

>>Any comments on Ebay

It's annoying as hell, but I think it's a sentiment-driven decline based on the outages.

I'm hanging in. The outages have had no effect on the auction counts, which are at a
record.


William,

Ebay is no longer a buy at Merriil. It has been changed to a hold. Blodgett seems to believe that AMZN will take the auction business over time.

Also, AMZN up 5, YHOO up 3 and EBAY down 4 1/2.

My opinion is Ebay has hurt themselves badly. Clearly, I do not know.
