Chicago School of Economics has zero to do with Wall street. The share price has nothing to do with the public. Pretty much nothing to do with anything. The share price is an internal play thing with eBay.
Stock market as a whole is down 11-12% from it's peak. So what. There are economists who believe that many shares are over-valued, too much money chasing too few investment opportunities.
Go back to your Business Math university courses and use the financial ratios. Leverage, liquidity, profitability ratios.

I took a 'marketing' course once. The boss had been persuaded that it would be useful to our retail store sellers.
It was oriented instead to selling 'intangibles' like stocks.
Among the points that stuck with me was the importance of having your customers (for intangibles, remember) constantly buy and sell. Not because it does them any good.
But because the salesman/broker gets a commission on every transaction.
Which is called "churning".
The other point I retained was more useful.
People turn to the right when they enter a store, so put high profit items there.(Or stuff you really want to get shut of.)
I heard that same thing many years ago and often think about it when entering a store...and turn to the left....just a bit of rebellion coming from a normally non-rebellious person! Just something that once and awhile I HAVE to do.
eBay is stinking. I am beginning to feel like making a left turn here...and then another.
"People turn to the right when they enter a store"
???
Maybe, maybe not.
If we shop at Walmart in Napanee we always turn right (that is where the food section is). If we shop at Walmart in Belleville we always turn left (that is where the food section is).
I hope you did not pay too much for that marketing course.
