    With much fanfare, eBay announced yesterday that they will be lowering their listing fees, shoring up online security and boosting final value fees that they charge successful sellers. All of this is being done with the hope of stopping the ongoing slide that the stock has been experiencing since peaking just shy of $60 back in 2005. Part of the…

  • Why you should avoid this (very popular) stock like the plague
    Chris Rowe | January 29, 2008

    I look at both the fundamental and the technical picture when considering stocks to take either bullish or bearish positions in.  Today we'll talk technical analysis to which I tend to attribute more weight since most of my positions are based on the intermediate trend.

Wall Street still believes that they will cut interest rates on that day, but it caught everyone off guard when they cut rates on Tuesday (1/22/08). They cut rates by 75 basis point (.75%).
