Stock Analysts and Channel Advisor's Scott Wingo think they see life in eBay's core. :blinkie:
NOTE: It should be noted that one of the analysts who issued bullish comments on eBay, Mary Meeker of Morgan Stanley once had a class action lawsuit filed against her that alleged "Meeker with issuing false and misleading statements and failing to disclose material information concerning Meeker's true relationship with eBay"
