>There's just too much money being made.

Yes, and there was a ton of money being made through fraudulent loans in savings and loans banks, and there was a ton of money made by michael miliken and his buddies.

I'm home for the holidays so I'll have to put off the chart crunching until next week when I get back to my workstations- but I've gone back and looked at the charts I do have available online, and I should correct my earlier statement, it appears that the amount of upward movement on ebay, yahoo, ubid, and amazon occured in the 30 minute period before the bell, with an average volume of _about_ 17,000 shares.

If this is occuring on through a coordinated effort, I will not hesitate to call it outright fraud. And considering the magnitude of profits that it has created, it literally could be "the" event that causes the bubble to burst.
