eBay is Hapless - Cramer's Lightning Round (9/11/08)

Stocks discussed in the lightning round session of Jim Cramer’s Mad Money TV program, Thursday, September 11.

Bullish Calls:

Anadarko (APC) -- “If you believe that natural gas is America’s fuel for the future, then you have to hold on to Anadarko, Chesapeake (CHK) and XTO Energy (XTO) – whether they’ve been hit hard recently or not.”
First Solar (FSLR) -- “This is an Obama play rather than a play on McCain. I like the technology and I am a buyer. No matter who wins the election, solar is going to be an important part of our energy. "

Bearish Calls:

Novo Nordisk (NVO) -- “I got this stock wrong. I am close to thinking it's come down enough, but I'm not there yet. So consider buying NVO on this decline.”
Yingli Green Energy (YGE) -- “No, no, no. We are not going to China for silicon. I won’t get behind a Chinese stock right now.”
Take-Two Interactive (TTWO) -- “Ring the register in this one. Take-Two’s had a good run already.”
eBay (EBAY) -- “eBay has lost touch with reality and the company is hapless. They ought to sell themselves to someone. Stay away from eBay.”

I finally agree with Cramer on one thing - Ebay HAS lost touch with reality.

Yep eBay is on it's way out, unless you just want to buy mass produced junk. But then, there's Wal-mart for that. For unique, unusual and hard-to-find items, many long-time sellers and buyers are turning to OnlineAuction.com, also known as OLA.com. Growing daily by leaps and bounds!

Ebay has done it again....they have shown their true colors one more time. They do not want small auction sellers on their site anymore, this is obvious. ONLINEAUCTION.COM (OLA.COM) is a wonderful alternative! More and more ex-ebay sellers are showing up there everyday. The users are friendly and helpful. Customer service is outstanding! You have your choice of payment types, plus you control your auctions!
ONLINEAUCTIONS is the bright, shining light from beneath the dark ebay cloud!!
