great company, just a bit too pricey, at least for the moment. I would also expect a stock split, chart would suggest such a thing.
Actually I'm long the qqq and short ebay to make a spread. In IMHO ebay has held up a long time, maybe too long. It reminds me of NVDA, which not too long ago was priced to hell and it seemed it would never come back. Time will tell.
I was trying to get on the long side of EBAY for about a week. Finally gave up on Wednesday after getting stopped out all the time. At least I had GE...
NVDA & EBAY on different boat... there are serious buying and investment banking relationships behind ebay. NVDA didn't... (they were always on the spot light for insider trading etc...) I am not advocating the fact that it is a good buy... but i definitely would look for something ELSE to short instead. Good lucky trying to fight that insanely strong tape.
If you want to find a cheap, used copy of "The Art of Short Selling" by Kathryn Staley, where are you going to look? Likely either Amazon or Ebay. I wouldn't short either one. (By the way, here's the auction for the book: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3505991418&category=29296. Is the book any good? Current bid is $21.99. Or the book is available on Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...02-3054792-0336055?v=glance&s=books&n=507846. Used for $24.75. I just picked this book because the thread topic is shorting stocks.)
