Just imagine if the estimate for EBAY had been break even ie $0.00. Then Maria could have said they beat the estimate by an infinite amount!

Hi Mythman, Personally, I am sick and tired of Maria (or anyone else for that matter) trying to speak above the din of the trading floor. This is totally unnecessary, and has long since lost it's appeal, if there ever was any... I mean, how can anyone think quickly and intelligently (even "Bart"), with all the noise and mostly guys bumping in to her all the time!? It's a joke now. Yeah, we are really going to go out and buy massive quantities of Ebay because they "doubled" their earnings by one cent!!! :) I feel sorry for poor Meg Ryan (CEO of Ebay) though, as all of this controversy over her company is rapidly aging her. If I were her, it would be time to take zee permanent vacation so she can live a little and relax. There is just too much pressure on her... Yogi
