There come the CONSPIRATORS AGAIN !!!!!!!!!!!!! Cant they leave my stock alone ??????? why dont they drub EBAY, AMZN, UBID ??? Arent these companies facing stifling competition too ? why publish such articles on Yahoo every time this stock moves up a bit ????? who are these people, are they short ?? why do they have Onsale singled out to be a beating boy????? I just hope from now on ONSALE moves up on negative remarks and downgrades, enuf is enuf, crush them if they are short, they'll learn to leave my stock alone.

to answer my own question on UBID, apparently Creative has their own web site and sells systems through there. So, UBID gets about 15% of its product sales from its parent, but the parent is not transferring substantive sales to them. Merrill apparently is going to come out with coverage of UBID in a few days (weeks?) along with a few others. UBID has strong management, most of whom are directly from retail online marketing, Warner, from Gateway. They used a closed system bidding process which gives it potential to move to profitability sooner. They have strong supply relationships. They're commerical product oriented. Maybe ONSL is trying to do too much too soon? Other than float what is the general idea here?
