SirVinney, Don't think you can compare BII to EBay because earnings are not generated the same way. On the $15 million, BII's margins are 6%, while EBay's margins on the $45 million are 85%. If you still want to compare the two, more appropriate would be gross margin dollars relative to market cap. Long on BII but trying to stay on an even keel.

I trades 10 million dollars last year. This does not make me a one billion man. The internut world is really funny.

Well, sir vinny, all these #'s are way out of whack anyway for all co.s mentioned. But, alas, it is the here and now and the here and now calls for out of control valuations on future earnings and therefore value these things as nonsensically as they are today so strike that hammer today and tommorrow and maybe a month from now but i'll bet the real prudent investors a year from now will be looking back on this kind of play as something they took a great and risky play on and scored and walked away happy ready to deploy their capital in long term winners. Having said that, of course, us clever ones will always keep that wide ranging eye that even stretches into our favorite neighbor's(friend) markets. My mother had a setback tonight and praying and hoping that it all works out for my mom. good night
