Will EBay Recover From Its Stumbles?
Excerpt from the InvestorGuide.com Stock of the Day on 4/15/2009

EBay has made a killing by learning how to put on a good auction. But when it comes to getting the best price for its own assets, the San Jose based giant doesn't do that great. Over the last couple of days, EBay announced that it is going to be getting rid of a couple of high-profile acquisitions that it made over the last few years, Skype and StumbleUpon. Granted it is a tough market to be selling anything right now, let alone fast growing businesses with a hazy revenue potential, but it doesn't look like Ebay shareholders are going to be getting a great deal for these properties. Ebay's stock has also been more than halved over the last year, so is the company's growth story essentially over? More >

Excerpt from the InvestorGuide.com Stock of the Day on 8/28/2006

In a coming together of Internet titans, Google (GOOG: Charts, News, Offers) and eBay have announced a union that will make the global marketplace seem a whole lot smaller. This latest alliance will mirror the deal struck between eBay and Yahoo (YHOO: Charts, News, Offers) in May, making Yahoo the exclusive provider of online advertising for domestic traffic on eBay. Not to leave Google out of the equation, eBay has engaged the search engine giant as the sole provider of text advertising on international page views. A second product of the partnership, however, takes advertising to a whole new level. Has this union created every shopper's dream of customer service and convenience, or will the brainchild prove to be a nightmare? More >
