Front page of the Toronto Star business section shows "BID.COM's roller-coaster ride". Neither positive nor negative, it is a sampling of what's been said here on SI. People that got quoted: Sans Souci, Brian Lee, John Paquet, Fuddle, Moneysmith, Know Genius, Thomas Kerwin, Boutybull, Airborn and Cameron. Sorry Bountybull, but your quote is the funniest. Of all the pearls of wisdom what did they pick? "OHHHHHH!!HAAAAAAAAA!Very nice" from April 15th. Interesting that some of our most prolific posters (the juvenile Dagan and the cross-dressing Gonorth <g>) are not listed at all. Brian

BIDS will run. Let's face it, this stock has a lot going for its success: - The most fashionable name in the industry - A well executed Web site, with a unique international focus - A number of agreements to auction many products bearing brand names - A patent that is worth more than anyone thinks - Bid.com, a brand name with a potential equivalent to the like of Amazon, and Buy.com - An upcoming on-line event that will drive the public attention at least as much as the Victoria Secrets webcast - A market where investors start to realize that auction Web sites have more potential than any other commercial sites - A bargain price, as compared to their competitors in the field - An increasing short interest, based on no fundamental event - Etc. It does not take a genius to figure out BIDS will soar. You should be wary of those analysts who do not walk their talk. Bid.com International is doing well. It is building a universal brand, and will soon be able to increase its margins by implementing economies of scale. I don't see what could go wrong with BIDS. __________ Champolion PS: These comments are relative to their context. In a stock market where EBAY and UBID are valued the way they are, Bid.com constitutes a wonderful opportunity.
