Baron is known to buy and hold. Actually, to buy a lot of something he likes and to hold it until it makes him some good money. He's had some bad investments, like PIN, but who hasn't? As for BID, long-term is the key. Though yesterday's $2.7 million price tag for McGwire's 70th HR ball should have been done through BID, not a partnership with ebay! Anyway, I think BID realizes the threat that the online auctions pose, and that if it doesn't get a move on, it could lose some market share. It seems that the duopoly needs to head off the assault of the e-auctioneers. Good article indeed, thanks Axxel. later, geoff
