Add this to the good things happening with Bid.com. This is a company that needs exposure to draw people to it's internet auction site. Imagine what the past two weeks have been worth in terms of advertising. The next set of quarterly numbers are going to reflect a major increase in site hits (IMO).

I tried to find the article about the CEO of Bid.com being "solicited by NASDAQ" I couldn't find it on The National Post web site.I don't have access to the National Post newspaper. Would it be possible to post that article? Thanks BC

Not to dampen the enthusiasm around here, but remember a couple of things: (1) To get the NASDAQ listing, the stock will have to break the $6.25 mark on Toronto. Given that there is still a general negative attitude on smaller caps, expect extreme short-selling pressure. Actually, you witnessed some of it Friday once the stock touched the $5 mark. (2) Like many previous disasters before it (Lion's Gate, Rainmaker, etc.), Bid.com has the big "Yorkton Securities" stamp all over it. To make it worse, Yorkton's VP of Corporate Finance sits on the Bid.com board. If that isn't a 2 storey-by-2 storey red flag, I don't know what is. (3) Moving to NASDAQ is not as big as you might think. UBID.com will begin listing there in the next 7-10 days and that is also a much bigger on-line auction house than bid.com. The move doesn't mean automatic success. Just ask the droves of ATI shareholders after that stock commenced trading on Tuesday. And there you have a good tech company with $750 million (CDN) in sales. That isn't to say that quick money can't be had (and it certainly was this week). But I'd be very skittish about getting in at the $5 point.
