If you're up for the year, take the tax loss. Every $10 is about $1 billion in market cap, currently ETYS has $3.1 billion cap. Why the hell should ETYS be bigger than EGGS or VUSA which have market caps of less than $500 million. I say we give ETYS a generous $1 billion market cap, ETYS is an $8 stock, and will still be bigger than EGGS and VUSA combined. I am neither long nor short on ETYS, simply a truth seeker.

Wall Street is very proficient at buying on rumor and selling on news. It seems even more so these days. Applied here: Christmas approaches...buy. Christmas sales are strong as reported in recent weeks...begin selloff. Realistically, I don't really see an end to the selling. This company was overvalued at its IPO and now the next toy season is a year away. I used Etoys last year. This year I went back to traditional shopping. My complaint...slow websites, disappointment with quality of toys received last year(nothing beats looking and feeling), and price (no big savings). The novelty is gone with me. Good luck. (BTW, I am neither long nor short this stock.)
