GST, ARBA's earning is super. Both earning and rev number
come in much higher than the estimate, with revenue number
the most impressive, about 34% higher than the estimate
and 67% sequential growth compared to last quarter.

Dont know why it 's down in afterhours, but I would be very
suprised if ARBA closes down tomorrow in regular hours
trading.

GST,

I was afraid of the current market environment in that even good numbers are not sustaining valuations lately. I sold 1/2 my ARBA just prior to close. One reason was every firm has sold off even if numbers are good and I wanted to reduce my personal stress. I must say the numbers for ARBA were great. They do a good job of properly recording revenue which can't be said for a lot of firms. Valuation is high as has been pointed out and after hour trands are down 10 points for whatever that is worth. I believe in ARBA long term and will buy back in when I can.

It was a last minute flip a coin. Some other holding I have tanked a lot today even with good numbers. If after hours means anything, you can do well with those puts short term.

In short (no pun intended), we can both do well.

I still own gold but for different reasons;-)

Glenn

>I bought puts on ARBA
Gst, it takes balls to bet against a new economy momentum stock, but good luck.
>Ariba's results marked the company as the first Internet B2B to report a break-even quarter.
Btw
Amzn was up over 14% today. Could it finally be the start of the Xmas rush?;-)
