BIDS (PR NEWSWIRE) Yorkton Analyst Defends Controversial Downgrade of Bid.Com a Yorkton Analyst Defends Controversial Downgrade of Bid.Com and Hold on Infowave Software; Recommends Versus Technologies as Next Internet Darling in a StockHouse.com Interview TORONTO, May 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Controversial Mark Pavan, Yorkton's institutional analyst, defended his Bid.Com (Nasdaq: BIDS) (Toronto: BII) downgrade in an exclusive StockHouse.com feature interview, saying, "It was simply a call that on a one-rate revenue business -- which is how we valued it all the way along -- it's valued at more than Amazon.com. That to me is excessive. Why would you own Bid.Com when you can own one of the leading brands on the Internet for cheaper?" Regarding the recent retreat in shares of Bid.Com, Pavan told StockHouse.com, "We haven't even seen the tip of the iceberg here. Let's wait a quarter or two and see if margins go to the moon. Then I'll be wrong, but I'm predicting that they won't." Earlier in the StockHouse.com feature interview, Pavan re-iterated his downgrade and said about the Bid.Com share price, "Bid.Com I think goes lower, absolutely goes lower."
