<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 3216310, member: 27832&quot;]When PayPal went public, I was a Power Seller on eBay, and did enough PayPal business to get invited to their IPO. I bought the minimum 100 shares, darn it.</p><p><br /></p><p>When eBay bought PayPal, those converted to 156 shares of eBay. When eBay and PayPal decided to split up again, I think I ended up with 156 of each -- it&#039;s been a while, and it&#039;s a pain to dig through the records.</p><p><br /></p><p>When eBay announced earlier this year that they were going to stop requiring PayPal, eBay spiked, and PayPal dipped. FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE, I moved on it, selling eBay near the peak and putting the money (plus a bit) into another 100 shares of PayPal.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since then, eBay&#039;s shares have dropped almost 50%, and PayPal has gone up a bit -- especially after today, when eBay dropped almost 9% and PayPal went up 9.4%.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sure wish I could do that on a repeatable basis...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
