Late buyers surged to the justabid.com post on Wednesday afternoon in a frenzy to buy all available shares at whatever price offered. Insiders say the buying frenzy was touched off by renewed rumors on Fleet Street that Microsoft Bill Gates is determined to swallow up both justabid.com and bobbrinker.com in order to eliminate these pesky competitors, and Gates is reportedly ready to meet justabid.com chairman Justawerkinstiff's demand of 25 shares for each justabid.com share. This would increase the total takeover to more than the entire market cap of Microsoft, but Microsoft would acquire both the justabid.com and bobbrinker.com domain names for all eternity, which should provide some solace. Both justabid.com and bobbrinker.com shares closed at record highs, however Microsoft shares remained far below their old high as nervous shareholders became concerned that Gates had lost his marbles by upping his takeover bid. Reports now say Justawerkinstiff and Brinker could divide over $200 billion if the deal goes through. In a new wrinkle, justabid.com has announced it may never turn a profit ever, no matter how long it remains in business. This added to the buying frenzy in justabid.com shares as internet stock junkies realized justabid.com may never be burdened by the spectacle of a price/earnings multiple. Justawerkinstiff remains in seclusion somewhere near Albany NY trying to figure out whether he wants to take the money and run or continue building losses for the future. Brinker was reportedly on the golf course and did not seem to care much about any of it.

Justa, >>> Lars: Did you sell your justabid shares today on the open market? Stock is down another 10% today. What gives. You think it is time for another split or a follow-on offering? >>> I am a long term investor. I am holding at least until this afternoon. HA!!! Yeah, a reverse split. >>> We are going down fast. I should have listened to Brinker and sold justabid. I am so ashamed I can't show my face on the Honor's thread anymore. >>> Don't worry, we just need to keep hyping the stock. It will turn around.
