Let's put it this way. I have not held a job for the last 2 years. I am extremely long on EGGS. If revenues are lackluster, I shall be looking for employment quite soon!

I don't mean to intrude, however.... <<So if the earnings are bad...will it dump? >> What are bad "earnings"? In fact we know there's going to be a big loss. It seems to me the above question doesn't make a lot of sense in a realm where there are virtually no expectations. My own opinion is that what AMZN says after the bell today will have a lot more impact on where this trades tomorrow than what EGGS has to say. Anaxagoras

Could be that those in the know are waiting until the last hour to make their move? Not wanting to tip their hand to early and not sell or buy all of the shares they want to at the price they like. jb

Personally, I don't think EGGS will see single digits and I can not see how the #'s will be bad. I just don't understand why an Internet company with EGGS potential just hangs on low volume prior to releasing holiday sales #'s. I have seen stuff like this before, when the stock drops prior to the release, sometimes they shoot up after. Then you have stocks that shoot up prior to the release and the big money is selling into it while everyone is thinking they must be blowing out the #'s cause of the rise. That is clearly not the case here. Is your question? "can a growing e-tailer have a price to sales ratio of 1". Is that possible? probably, but not likely. IMO. There sure isn't any easy $ being made here yet.
