I did some research to put EBAY's current market capitalization of more than 10.9 billion dollars into perspective. * The market cap for EBAY is larger than that of Rockwell International (NYSE:ROK), a large conglomerate with 7 billion dollars in annual sales and thousands of employees. * The market cap for EBAY is larger than the --combined-- annual budgets of the 3 largest US federal law enforcement agencies, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and the INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service). And people wonder why I think that EBAY shares are insanely overpriced!
