Smarty, sorry to deflate your bubble but the whisper number for EBAY was .04 which it beat by 20%.

Smart,
Do you think CNET's business plan is as compelling as EBAY's? Long neither stock, but I sense EBAY's story/platform has captured the imagination of analysts and the net investment community more so than CNET. What do you think?

.02 to .05 is a good earnings surprise. Besides, EBAY will always be a more profitable STOCK than a COMPANY. Is'nt that what most of these interents stocks are about right now anyways?

Smart Investor

been wondering where you've been

Has your short position in AOL made you wealthy yet ??

I am glad you posted....since you don't feel ebay earnings will help, we all now know that they will...after all, you have proven your worth to this thread....do the opposite of what you say, and we'll all be fine !!!!

So you think EBAY's EPS of 5 cents is not good enough, huh ? Then how do you explain the fact EBAY went up to 214, 215 (closed at 209) in the after-hour trading ??? Apparently millions of investors like it, and that will give AOL positive influence tomorrow.

You sound like a very nervous short. Hope you have a nice sleep tonight !
