I love this message off of Raging Bull and agree with it. Tiger, I only wish that everyone read that article from yesterday, even though it was inaccurate in its description of Bid.com,etc! >>>>>>Great message, it is about time we all stop being shy about the upside of this stock. look at the recent IVILLAGE IPO. Lets not forget that Ebay with a float of some 120,000,000 shares is trading at $159.00, and it went from its split adjusted numbers of some $10.00 in October of 1998 to $100.00 about 30 days later. UBID went from some $40.00 to $100.00 in a similar 30 day period. I hear a lot of people say that BID.COM is no EBAY and I say yea you are right. I think BID.COM has attributes that are far better than EBAY. One: its alliance with AIME gives it access to SET TOP boxes and extensive etailing through that system. Two:It has a Dutch Auction format. Three: It Licenses technology. Four:Ebay is limited by the items people are willing to sell. Five:Bid.com can have exciting auctions of any product. Six: Bid.Com has a business to business format . Seven: The strategic alliances in place prepare BID.COM well for the future. I will stop at lucky seven I don't want to bore everyone. But I can tell you that I have made money on shares of EBAY / UBID / GMAI/ and from that experience I believe we will all be well rewarded 30 days after the list. Sure as this approaches $20.00 and we are all better than 5 fold we will see waves of selling, holding the stock at that level for a while, but after that initial runup, and plateau who knows, but history can predict. This is all in my opinion. I am sure you can tell I am Long BID.COM.
