Too bad it does not predict the demise of that evil empire.
It is interesting that these economists can't assess why FeeBay and its revenue raising mates PayPal and Pitney Bowes (GSP) have been able to fend off any real competition for twenty years. I know I am cynical and somewhat hypocritical but if there was another choice I would use them in a heart beat. :transformergun
