Doug Fowler & this thread mentioned in CBS Marketwatch.com article: cbs.marketwatch.com Congratulations, everyone. Thanks for all your insightful postings, Doug. === EBay did OK and then some EBay(EBAY: news, msgs) impressed investors with a Monday earnings report, beating expectations by 3 cents a share. And at SiliconInvestor's EBay message board, there was a lot of back patting going on. One longtime poster, Doug Fowler, said, "The point I have tried to make in this thread all along was that here was finally a chance for the small investor to keep constant track of EBay's financial health, through the monitoring of auction counts, and have an ADVANTAGE over the so-called gurus on Wall Street. This 70 percent growth over the Christmas quarter is simply phenomenal, and much higher than Yahoo's (YHOO: news, msgs) 15 percent increase or whatever Amazon (AMZN: news, msgs) or AOL (AOL: news, msgs) will report this week." HECTOR RUBERT liked EBay's earnings and news that it's acquiring high-brow auction house Butterfield & Butterfield. "Revenue growth of over 400 percent, and they just acquired a high-class auction company, (which) will add new audience reach and increase their profit margins. EBay is just beginning, folks." Other messages were short and sweet. Peter Blanchard ..."EBay longs, sleep well tonight." And a message to one investor who played EBay the other way; happy_girl ..."You shorted EBay? EBay? Oh my gosh! May God take care of you tomorrow!" === - Netconductor.com
