Shorts continue to get whacked on this stock. This type of action will probably continue until february when the new IPOs flood the market, ebay insiders can sell, and the xmas hype dies down. The tax selling has been more than overwhelmed by this market surge. Is this market out of control or what?!! I have to admit, I'm rather enjoying the rise in prices for even my dog holdings! (which I hope to sell any day now) It will also be very interesting to see how much amazon insider selling there is in February (right now, nobody can sell because the quarterly results have not been released). If millions of shares are released, we should have another indication that things have peaked - at least until the next xmas season. EBAY auctions remain below 1.3 million. One thing I've notice is that the sheer number of items is unmanageable - it's hard to find things you might be interested in. I'm not sure what they can do to better organize their items. Yahoo, at least, "feels" 5-10x faster, which makes it easier to navigate.
