Yeah, it's about time The Internet Fund picked it up. I was quite shocked he missed out on this stock - it's got a very solid business model and it's in an industry of increasing returns (e.g. Economist Brian Arthur on the (QWERTY phenomenon and Microsoft OS examples) so scale matters.

Someone's could be a monopoly and Ebay is well-positioned. Unfortunately, I bought a week ago because WWWFX missed out on it. Now I'm overexposed on the stock.

P.S. Ironically, I've conducted only one transaction there so far, and someone tried to defraud me and gave me retaliatory negative feedback - a nightmare experience. So I put up a webpage on it - parallax.simplenet.com See the related posts on auctionwatch.com for more details.

The internet fund may be buying but insiders and institutions are selling in droves. Anyone look at recent filings? Every day new ones are added.

Best,
