I have to disagree. The closest comparison to UBid is not EBAY, but ONSL. EBAY sells nothing themselves. They match buyers and sellers and take a commision from the sale. It's a great idea but right now is way overpriced.

UBid is a mainly a computer product reseller. This is an extremeley low margin business.

Of course its very possible UBid could open at 90 and I would agree MALL is a poor short at his time.

Why are you long MALL? I thing MALL is pretty risky as a long at any price.

Even the 'analysts' (I use the term loosely with internet stock analysts) doen't follow this one. The one that does follow it rates it a 'hold'. The stock appears to be manipulated. It reminds me of IBUY.
