The 'management' at eBay has managed to turn a snowball into an avalanche. The avalanche of GOOD sellers leaving the site and seeking safer ground, will eventually bury eBay.

While Cramer is being a bear with ACAS, I'm still collecting the dividends. Ahhhh, thanks!

I remember that this Lenin-look alike was dissing FRO last year. "High dividend must be a sign that company is in trouble". Not that he can remember anything past one week...Everyone can be wrong sometimes, but Cramer excelled in being wrong most of the time, as a matter of fact, his advice cannot even beat S&P average according to Barron's. Isn't there a site where his picks are usually losing to a chimp that picks stocks at random?

Dear seekingalpha editor, how many times does James Cramer have to discredit himself before you remove his gibberish from this Web site? Shouldn't he syndicate to Oprah or something?

If ACAS loses share price, it will most likely be because the institutionals who need cash to avoid the fate of Bear Sterns are selling shares. I noticed Merril Lynch was a big stockholder. I think Cramer avoiding ACAS is a good reason to buy while it is down.
