eBay Inc (EBAY)

Basically a retail merchandiser. Usually goes up prior to Black Friday and then retail usually sells off. Technically, it is not doing that well. Chart shows a downward trend and it has to hold the $50 level, or it has real problems. Trading below its 20 day moving average Relative Strength to the market is negative. This has another period of seasonal strength from the end of January to April, the Easter buying season.

Good company. Little bit high on the valuation side for his liking. Serves a very strong niche, but other people are starting to infiltrate that business.

High-tech and doing quite well, but really doing very, very well on the back of their PayPal. PayPal is responsible for a very large and growing portion of their profits. Sort of a tough area as there is going to be competition in this area and there aren’t a lot of barriers to entry. He would probably pass on this one.

Doing very well but when you really look at the company and get under the hood, you find that this company is really being driven by the success of PayPal. Nothing wrong with that but you have to understand what is driving it. This is really a competitor of Visa (V-N) and MasterCard (MA-N). It is really a payment processor company. Doing well. Trading at a little rich multiple at about 20X earnings.

This stock has been on a tremendous run. Perfect technical chart for this type of company. Trading around 17X earnings. Long-term growth around 14%-15%. Not really expensive

(Market Call Minute.) PayPal is an amazing company within EBAY but the stock is too pricey and there is no dividend.
