Too much hype, if you have profits take some off the table. I would not touch this stock at these levels. However, you guys are the experts.

I think Cybersurf is a much better CDN ticket for less than 2 beaver bucks as it is unique. There are enough auction houses on the Internet. The wider story of BID.com is excellent though, but it may get lost in the news.

Remember there is no monopoly on the Internet. It takes huge amounts of money to create a brand image. An internet brand image is no exception.

At 1 billion, this company is sufficiently valued. What are the odds of this stock doubling compared to Cybersurf quintuppling? I ask the question.

I am not saying to sell all of your BID, but for heavens sake, if you have made substantial money, take some off the table.

Cybersurf and their FREE Internet Service is a novel idea, where advertising is pushed down your throat, but thats okay because you are getting a benefit. If the rumour of a Greater Toronto Market Area deal happens, this stock will do some serious uplifting.

Anyways, not trying to piss anyone off on BID's upward chances. I could be very wrong. I own very few shares of Cybersurf CY Alberta (1,000) so I stand very little to gain by making you experts aware of the opportunity.

You're right. "BIDS" is already the symbol of an OTCBB company called: BIDDEFORD & SACO WTR CO (OTCBB: BIDS). As far as BID is concerned it is held by: SOTHEBYS HLDGS INC (NYSE: BID). But anyway, Nasdaq requires a 4 letters symbol as opposed to the 3 letters on the NYSE.
