If you pull up a 5 year chart of screwbay you will see that Meg Whitman ran the stock price in the ground while she was CEO, and then continuing during the period after that when she was on the Board.
But if you had bought stock in ebay right after Meg left the Board and the company completely, you would have done well, as the stock has soared. So if elected, she should do a bang-up job of picking up where Ahh-nold left off and continue the great RINO tradition of running Kalifornia into the ground.
The reason for the sale, yes there is a reason forget the PR spin about focusing on Pay Pal, is that the original founders of Skype did not include the patents that made it work in the sale.
Basically eBay bought a name but didn’t own the technology that made it run. As such the patent holders, the creators, came back and sued them when they didn’t change the underlying technology.
How that was allowed to happen by the lawyers for eBay overseeing the sale is mind boggling.
