Pluvia, you posted: BIDS is an overpriced, insignificant 5th tier internut that: 1. Has insignificant revenues; 2. Has insignificant #'s of users; 3. Has insignificant financial resources; 4. Has insignificant eyeball interest from internet surfers. You should add: 5. Is in a business with no or low barriers to entry. 6. Is in a business with razor-thin (if any) margins. I seriously doubt that BIDS will ever be show a profit for the above reasons. Al

>>>Bottom line, you are either an unsophisticated rookie investor that does not know the first thing about the internet auction business or the securities business, <<< Is that your new strategy? Discredit everyone who posts valid information about the company? You can't post a rebuttal of their points so you have to attack their character? You're slimier than I thought. I think it's your rookie investor mentality that is showing up quite plainly to every reader of this thread. Grow up.

>>. . . you are either an unsophisticated rookie investor that does not know the first thing about the internet auction business or the securities business, and you bought the BS PR, hook line and sinker, or you are a shill for the company...<< Well Steve, you could have taken the high road, and attempted to debate my points. The attacks on my motives were uncalled for, petty, and inaccurate. There are a number of cut and pastes that I could take from the "Steve Keyser expose'" article that was floating around here yesterday. But why bother? I do not want to bring down the level of discussion of this thread any lower. Please show everyone your documentation where you refute the points that I have put forth in my last post. I will say again, I have been following this company closely for six months now. I believe I understand it, and where they are going better than most people. I have also said that I welcome good "balanced" posts either Pro or Con. I believe that it helps everyone make a proper decision on their investments - short and long term. So, in response to your comments of . . . 1. Has insignificant revenues; 2. Has insignificant #'s of users; 3. Has insignificant financial resources; 4. Has insignificant eyeball interest from internet surfers. I believe that each of these points has already been addressed, and this is a growing company that is building for the future. They have the world's attention now, there are more users signing up now, they have a lot more money now, and their stickiness of visits to their sites is better than many other sites. So, again try to keep the discussion on topic, and please don't lower yourself to attacking the credibility of the posters of information. I think people will be more receptive to your message. And I believe that people should pay attention to what is being said, both Pro and Con. Then they can make up their own minds. By the way, I never said I wasn't anything other than a . . .
