Is the short interest info in the Barrons'
article from this weekend correct? It states
39% of the public "float" is sold short.
If so then ebay is all about a massive short squeeze

Can you say, dogpile on the shorts?

Why would we even bother? Who's Axxel when eBay has Goldman, DLJ, Robbie and Alex Brown hyping for them?

Kim

PS Actually DLJ did downgrade it on valuations back in November, but speculators and gamblers simply don't care.
