>>if you're gonna pretend that coverage in barron's was bullish No, Camelsaliva, I just posted the link, so you'd know what the press is saying. :) I'm not thinking anything. I'm glad I own Yahoo, though. Those were very kind words from her. Luv ya, Mary. I liked the detractor's comment about eBay, too. They don't do anything to earn their commissions. Well, Duh. Thats why eBay has 90% gross margins!

<Investors might want to consider a third factor. In November, Jeffrey Bezos, the online retailer's chief executive, sold 180,000 shares at prices ranging from $126.93 to $129.92. True, he still owns millions of shares. However, by selling in November he did give up $160 a share, or $28.8 million in potential profits. And he must have a pretty good idea what his company is worth.> As Glenn posted recently, Bezos just bought a $10M home, built in the 1940's. Those familiar with prime Lake Washington real estate know that $10M can buy a very nice piece of property in an excellent location, but the house itself can still be a teardown. If he were to put as much into the house as he did buying the land, he would end up with an estate comparable in value to those of Paul Allen and Craig McCaw. Equation: Millions of shares - 180,000 = appropriate residential statement for Seattle's newest billionaire
