Marie is short, forget her. She may be right and she may be wrong, but you can bet she is short and doing her best to affect the course of the stock Marie took a position in SHRP around Feb 3 and since then she posted about 28 messages, all designed to drive SHRP down. She did the same attact (this time long) on INTV just before the SHRP attack. Forget about what she says if you believe in this profitable company. At the open, CNBC is calling for good upward movement in the internet stocks, lower in other sectors. Barry

Brichard, I study many stocks but get on only the most flagrant cases of deceit. This is not an internet stock. Their on-line sales are no different than Gap stores and hundreds of others. No hype from the Gaps of the world about the net. SHRP's on-line sales are miniscule i.e., > 2% of total sales and their auction site is for hype only trying to blur the lines with E-Bay etc. The concept of SHRP as an internet stock is a fraud which is being supported and embellished by an unethical founder, majority holder & CEO -- Dicky, who has sold about 1.0 million shares into his self-generated hype with multi-press releases while downplaying and hiding the bad news. SHRP is a bricks & mortar and catalogue retailer with a highly uncertain revenue and EPS outlook and a very poor financial history. The stock was low single digits before Dicky launched the bunk. SHRP should sell at no more than 10-13X EPS. Also, this 3D stuff is more bull. How many Pentium IIIs are out there now and six months from now? Don't ask Dicky to tell the truth especially on CNBC - more lies by omission. Don't be mad at me, get mad at Dicky for sucking you into a trap.

Barry, Midas, Jr: The numbers are gone! Hey boys guess what? My prediction came true even faster than I thought. SHRP (Dicky) killed the AUCTION FACTS BOX (i.e., (1) customers served; (2) items auctioned; and (3) bids accepted). Must be they were an embarrassment as expected. Hey Dicky, why don't you issue a press release about dropping the numbers? We know why, because you only mention the hype items. Fair's fair Dicky. Tell us why the box is gone. Be ethical for once in your life! Maybe you should sell some stock first! Maybe you could tell the truth about the Pentium III chip too. I can't wait to see that electric litter box and the air conditioner suit from below and from the sides.
