<<Silicon Valley: Onsale's Emaciated Margins (No I'm not short)>> When I see posts like yours, definitely I decide to go long. There is not a more profitable trade than during a short squeeze. I'd heard the same sort of thing about AMZN some 400 or 500 points ago (pre split). Those that tried to push the stock down instead of bending their heads and cover have already lost more than just money. Good luck and and the shorts.

Glante could make this case for nearly every internet stock. She chose ONSL. Why ONSL? Odd that her comment that ONSL may start selling "new items" is in there with Elkins commenting that she hadn't heard of "new items". We've purchased items that were listed as "new" in the past year. They said "new", they looked "new", the warranty was "new". Maybe it depends on one's definition of "new" relative to financial reporting. UBID is in no different shape, other than their model calls for selling less business related items and more consumer - much like EBAY.
