Please listen up, GoNorth...

Many people bought in at prices higher, in some cases much higher, than today. If their time horizon is short, they are taking a beating and we should feel bad for them. The last thing they need is hearing I-told-you-so from the likes of you.

But consider the facts. The Internet is not a fad. Auctions on the Internet are not a fad. This Internet auction company has been around longer than most and the share price is more than an order of magnitude greater than it was a year ago. Sometimes the glass really is half full.

>>buffet, get a pen and paper and figure it out for yourself. If BII (that a BIG IF) could turn an operating profit of say 5% on $40M in sales we have something in the area of $.04 EPS. Take a VERY VERY VERY generous 50 multiple and you've got a share price of $2.00. So where is the big upside you and other Boosters seem to believe is just around the corner?<<
