Gizelle - curious - did any of the "analysts" have anything to say about what ebay was going to do about their system and customer support problems? Mr. K.

I also have the feeling time is running out to own this stock. Institutional support has been very strong all week. This is the highest profile of all e-commerce stocks, with enormous pressure building from retail investors to be there when the holiday madness begins. Last year it peaked at Thanksgiving, but I suspect it will peak much earlier this year. The outages are a blessing in disguise as they cause momentary price dips. Savvy investors understand that they really only reflect systems overloads caused by usage beyond all expectations. The cacophony of disgruntled sellers (who only think of their selfish, shortsighted interests) similarly help to extend the current buying opportunity for a little bit longer. But you are right, news is coming, Christmas will be early this year, and time is running out.
