Justabid.com chairman and CEO Justawerkinstiff told security analysts packed into a Wall Street bucket shop that he has rejected Tulip.com's bid to take over his company. He added negotiations continue with Microsoft, but a new sticking point has arisen, namely that he wants the new name of the merged company to be Justabob-Microsoft with a ticker symbol of JM. Microsoft Chairman and CEO Bill Gates had planned to rename the company Microsoft-Justabob with a symbol of MJ. The other company to be included in the deal, bobbrinker.com, has been unavailable for comment. Shares in justabid.com and bobbrinker.com surged to record highs Wednesday based on the $200 billion takeover offer in the rumor mill. Analysts said the huge potential deal turned the entire internet group around Wednesday including Yahoo and Amazon.com among others.

David, >>> Tulip.com has just made a 24 billion offer for Justabid.com. >>> This a bigger insult than Gates' first offer. Thank goodnes Justa is in seclusion. He couldn't take this kind of cheap shot. HA! >>> I have a friend who works in a building across the way from the Justabid.com campus and he said there have been a number of limousines in and out all day. It's dark there now but the lights are still on in the board room. >>> That is the Mary Kay gang. >>> Apparently, there is a guy in there who looked like he just got off the golf links, Frankie Lane or something is his name, my buddy thinks. >>> Hmmm. >>> If anything can re-establish the internet stock rally, this will. >>> Justa and I are going to try reverse stock splits. Amazing, the price will go up automatically. What a deal! >>> (BTW, can anyone tell me why the word, "internet" is not recognized by the spell checker on SI? Is this a sign?) >>> Interesting.
