Good News...http://www.marketwatch.newsalert.com/bin/story?StoryId=CnW17qb8ZtJa5mZyXmZiX&FQ=c%25ebay%20&Title=Headlines%20for%3A%20ebay%0A..........."This is the first time we've had auction houses participating from all over the world," said George Noceti, Internet services manager at Butterfield & Butterfield. He declined to comment on whether a joint alliance would soon be announced. "We think we have some exciting things planned," Noceti said. "We are kind of a first mover in this area." Butterfield, which recently got some attention with its auction of OJ Simpson's football jerseys and other personal items, has also signed with Yahoo! Inc's auction site to display their wares for online bidders. Butterfield is also in the so-called "quiet period" ahead of a planned public stock offering. A deal with eBay could have a strong impact on any Butterfield & Butterfield stock offering, and the deal could also fuel optimism among eBay's enthusiastic investors.

Agreed. If you have been following this ebay message board from the start, you would see that shorts and the small float have always driven this stock through the ceiling. Alot of SHORTS lost their SHIRTS playing this stock like a normal one. Being hyped and with a small float it was a disaster.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that Ebay is at a dangerously high price. Their is a term known as "FUNDAMENTALS". When a company's market value is in the 20 billion range with profits of 2.5 million it is going to get creamed eventually. It's market value could top out at up to 40 billion by the end of the year. At 3 billion I said it had plenty of potential, but now its reaching its quickly reaching its maximum value. I would recommend to anyone who takes even the highest risks to sell if it ever reaches a market cap of 35 billion. Does anyone know what the market cap of Iomega was before it crashed?
