<< ELBO at this time is a retail stock, unless perception is allowed to run free. We are in good hands with management, too; the stores are busy. And the stores have made good profits for years now, with same store-sales increasing nicely. >> One of the reasons analysts have been optimistic re this year's holiday season's sales is because Christmas is on a Friday, so people will have all weekend following Christmas to continue shopping. (i am not the mercenary pig who thought this up- I am just repeating it like a copy-cat mercenary pig !) Victor

Victor, Re: Barrons, Guru's name is Mary Meeker(Morgan Stanley) and had the cover of Barron's under an article called Queen of the net, she was telling people to buy AOL in 1993 (equiv. of $2 a share) has a big following in the wall street community, she said that Christmas sales could total $10 billion, or more 10 times what it was a year ago, and "when people see the Christmas data from the companies in January they wil say "WOW!"" If the $10 Billion number is correct, and it is 4 times what everyone was projecting, I think it is safe to multiply ELBO's internet expectation's by four, not even considering Ad traffic.
