Eric, Earlier this year, HB said it could make sense for YHOO to offer $150 (pre-split $300) a share to buy EBAY.

>Why would Ebay do such a stupid thing as merge with Amazon and destroy it's own profitable business? Exactly! The prudent would wait to see if Amzn goes busto. If it does, the prudent would be able to buy Amzn from the bankruptcy court for around 10c on the dollar! Btw Buying Msft 60 calls.

The writer of the Red Herring article has got to be joking. Why would Ebay do such a stupid thing as merge with Amazon and destroy it's own profitable business? I suppose the resulting stock price spike would give insiders the opportunity to dump shares. But why would Ebay poor it's hard-earned profits (as meager as they are) into the Amazon sinkhole? Eric, I can't imagine Ebay having any desire to merge with Amazon. Ebay would then be sattled with distribution centers and their problems. I am certain well close to certain this will never happen.
