>> WOW. Can your believe this talk about consolidation >> and buyouts! Talk about fueling the fire! >> I, for one, think that BII may be ripe for a takeover...<snip> I have lost money going long, yesterday i made money shorting it, today i lost tons of money shorting it, pulled a 180 and went long... whats left? to make money going long!!! So please dont flame me anyone, but WHY would any company buy out bid.com ? I dont get it? I mean i could understand if the shares were to go on a serious tear from here, with the valuations the markets are giving to anything with a website. But what does bid.com REALLY have that another company would pay a big premium for for? I dont imagine its book value. Could someone explain who could a potential suitor be and what do they see in bii.
