>what about EBAY with a PE of 11775..

I thought these pigs would go out with a slow rise to pre-mania levels, but it looks like Blodgett is making it happen in one day. I think we can safely call today the high water mark.

These stocks do NOT have small floats that make these kind of moves possible like they used to. Look at the distribution going on... All morning, huge blocks going through at the bid.. Almost none at the ask.

Check out the options activity, people began dumping their friday expiration contracts instantly in lots of 100 this morning. Pump and dump. Absolutely amazing. I would love to know how much money ML made off of blodgett's call. No wonder they pay him the big bucks! Who needs earnings when all you need is one very loud prophet! That guys call added at least 10 billion in market cap to these stocks, INSTANTLY.

EBAY's currrent PE is actually around 2500 (I don't believe the 11,000 number reported on Yahoo's finance site is correct - EBAY currently has an EPS of .05 - with a stock price of 127, PE = 2500 - this is the number reported under the Yahoo finance profile for EBAY as well as on other sites).

But a PE of 2500 for EBAY is no less ludicrous than a PE of 11,000 in my opinion.

Thanks,
