Why is it that shorts just blab all the time? I see nothing wrong with talking against a stock provided there is some substance to the discussion. I hear some quite compelling arguments about why EBAY will grow to justify their elevated PE. But the shorts just seem to say "It must fall because the PE is too high". How about further justification. Answer these questions for starters: - What will stop EBAY's business model growing to encompass all world-wide E-trade? - What factors do you see that indicate EBAY is losing market share to other auctioneers? Do you have any concrete arguments you shorts?
