So the real way to make money on the net is to build a great business, issue 40 million shares of stock, release less than 10% into float, and watch the rest of us scramble to pick up those scraps (consequently making the insiders billionaires in a week). Ok, maybe a little sour grapes. Just wish I'd have been smart enough to work for ebay a year ago.
