My head was exploding, my stomach ripping, and even the tips of my fingers ached. The only thing I could think was, "If I live, I will never run again!"

The company has tried to grow as fast as it can, tried to do a lot of things at the same time.

We think they will, but the question for the stock is: in the year 2005, do they do $8 billion in sales or do they do $20 billion in sales? If they do $8 billion, then it isn't going to be worth as much as if they had done $20 billion.

Is it $15 billion because of the collapse of the business-to-consumer market or it is $15 billion because sales growth slowed down by 50 percent in the last two quarters? Probably, it's a little bit of both, but I think it's more of the latter.

It's fairly niche-y, it's not going to be a broad based business model that can succeed in a lot of different categories.

The cash position doesn't look that bad, but it all depends on the burn rate going forward.

She's not the first very strong executive to leave a dot.com that's had its stock go down.

I think you're going to see a really wide range of estimates unless they help us with that, which I'm not sure they'll do.

At a point when many other e-commerce companies are struggling to reach breakeven, eBay has demonstrated that it has a materially different and better model, which is driving exceptional growth both in sales and earnings,
