I heard that their recent revenue was $7m. That gives them a P/E of about 371. What kind of crack are the ebay boys smoking? I've seen a couple of people talking about synergy between Skype and ebay. Sounds like a lot of post-fact justification and nonsense to me. The only rational analysis I've heard is ebay defending their patch by preventing other large communities offering auction services. If that's true this is the most expensive anti-pissing campaign on record. So if you're planning to join (or start) a VOIP company I'd do it soon. Equity is like a pyramid scheme, the big weasels cash out early and leave everying else in the shit. That time will be soon.</p> http://matt.blogs.it/entries/00002899.html
