Good Evening from Southeast Idaho.....My name is Idaho Pete.....I would like to say that the past seven months have been a classic study in human behavior. Certainly, I include myself in the grouping. I have concluded in my own way, that PNLK will have to joust with the cow for space on, or around, the moon. Many names and conversations have come and gone on these threads. Good people with good intentions. Dreams and the like. As 1998 comes to and end, what have we learned? People come and go. Dreams come and fade. So it goes. but anyway..........Doris Day said it well...........Going to Cabo for a few weeks.....Sam and Lady are staying with Butch and his family. Happy Holidays to each of you. Sincerely, Idaho Pete

AB3 -- Thank for the heads-up on PNLK's auction function. What a great idea! The Street has been irrationally kind to recent on-line auction ipo's that deal with public retail items. Wonder what type of valuation a global business-to-business auction might command?

AB3 -- re: PNLK's added auction function..... eBay continues to confound analysts (wonder if p-k could get a bit of this action?!!) EBay Stock Marches Higher, And Analysts Wonder Why PALO ALTO, Calif. (Reuters) - Internet auction site Ebay Inc. was the biggest gainer on the Nasdaq Friday, bringing its gains to more than $66 a share in the past week alone, and the relentless surge even has the experts confounded. Although many have a bullish outlook for EBay, which is one of the few Internet businesses turning a profit, they said they still saw some risk in the company's business model, and could not identify any fresh developments that might trigger the stock's recent ascent. EBay shares, which were up more than $21 a share at one point Friday, finished $13.94 higher at $252.25. EBay made its initial public offering in September at $18 a share. ''The model gets stronger as the company grows,'' said Volpe Brown Whelan analyst Derek Brown. ''The more buyers who come to the site, the more sellers come, and the company gets a fee from all the sellers. ''But I do think there is still a risk,'' added Brown, who said he was unsure why investors did not seem to be factoring in the potential downside. Even within the select group of e-commerce stocks, which have generally had a strong run this holiday shopping season, EBay has had particularly strong momentum. And there has been no slowdown despite recent problems with its service. The company's online auction service crashed a few times over the past month, which some sellers say caused them to lose money. And Newsweek magazine reported EBay has declined to reimburse buyers who were duped by one seller out of as much as $100,000 in a transaction carried out through the site. EBay declined to comment on its stock price and the Newsweek report.
