Dalin, I trade with Ameritrade, and was on hold for almost 25 minutes in which time ONSL went from 96 - 48. When I finally got a person, I asked for a quote and we were back at 55. God, talk about being sick, so I said what the hell and bought more Dec 55 Calls. Things haven't changed since Friday and E-bay is still up near $200. These internet stocks are not for the weak at heart! Lets hang in there. Heck, E-bay flew in a short period and pulled back and then took off again. We were bound to take a breather! I am looking for more strength. I hope it is there. I don't think we have played out this sector by any means (JMHO). Brian H.

Internet Pundit Doubts eBay Is Worth Its Hefty Valuation (EBAY) - Rpt Newstraders - November 30, 1998 10:51 (NewsTraders.com)-- Internet.com's senior investment analyst Steve Harmon doubts that online auctioneer eBay Inc. (EBAY) is worth anything near the $10-plus billion value it has on a fully diluted basis, according to the "Morning Report." Harmon said that Excite (XCIT) trades at one-third eBay's market capitalization and he believes the company has a much better overall leverage-ability than eBay. To Harmon, Excite is a "full-service Internet-media commerce powerhouse" as compared with eBay's "beanie-baby antique parade." Excite's user base alone holds "tremendous potential," according to the analyst. Harmon says that Onsale (ONSL) had room to run in the recent rally seen virtually Internet-wide, but eBay had already sprinted to new highs before the widespread industry ascent. Of note, Onsale shares were trading significantly lower in early-morning trading Monday. Copyright 1998 NewsTraders Inc. All Rights Reserved Monday, November 30, 1998
