eBay’s stock has had one bumpy ride in the last six years

11. December 2006, 3:45 Uhradmin

Although Jim Cramer loves eBay Inc. (NASDAQ:EBAY) and thinks all the bad press and bad feelings are already priced into the stock, the company has had a disastrous 2006 in regards to its stock performance. The numbers don’t lie — and there are some who are picking up positions in the world’s largest online auction website for *if* the company’s fortunes turn around. Never say “when”, though — only “if.”

Hey - eBay has no debt and continues to do solid business, although there are laundry lists of things that the auction giant fails at — like customer communication, bad customer service, increasing fees and about a million other things. Still, from a purely financial standpoint, the company is in great shape. Any company with eBay’s scale that has little to no debt should be considered pretty darn decent. But, how decent?

Free Limewire / P2P

A peer-to-peer (or P2P) computer network relies primarily on the computing power and bandwidth of the participants in the network rather than concentrating it in a relatively low number of servers. P2P networks are typically used for connecting nodes via largely ad hoc connections. Such networks are useful for many purposes. Sharing content files (see file sharing) containing audio, video, data or anything in digital format is very common, and realtime data, such as telephony traffic, is also passed using P2P technology.A pure peer-to-peer network does not have the notion of clients or servers, but only equal peer nodes that simultaneously function as both "clients" and "servers" to the other nodes on the network. This model of network arrangement differs from the client-server model where communication is usually to and from a central server. A typical example for a non peer-to-peer file transfer is an FTP server where the client and server programs are quite distinct, and the clients initiate the download.
