dimview	posted on March 13, 2001 12:53:01 PM new John, I've been checking your website the past few days to see if you've updated your Yahoo!Auctions listings graph -- it was last updated February 26 -- and now today I see that your entire website has been removed. Have you moved elsewhere? Hope all is well.
USMarines	posted on March 13, 2001 01:36:23 PM new Hi dimview: I had the same question. john10101, where are you? I hope that everythings is Ok with him. Regards, Rudy USMCQuantico Semper Fidelis! http://www.geocities.com/adultmagazinesmarket/ [ edited by USMarines on Mar 13, 2001 01:37 PM ]
joice	posted on March 13, 2001 06:24:38 PM new freejack, I'm sorry but giving out that information on how to find john10101 could be a breach of the CG's if you are giving out an auction I.D. If that wasn't an auction I.D. please email me at [email protected] for possible reinstatement of your post. Joice Moderator. [ edited by joice on Mar 13, 2001 06:25 PM ]
freejack	posted on March 13, 2001 07:06:00 PM new Joice, that wasn't an auction ID I posted. It's just a username, kinda like "freejack". Moreover, I don't think fool.com is an auction site. Check it out yourself.
joice	posted on March 13, 2001 07:16:51 PM new freejack, I'm just thinking of john10101.. maybe he doesn't want that information given out on this board. We have to respect the privacy of the Membership. Joice Moderator. *typo [ edited by joice on Mar 13, 2001 07:17 PM ]
dimview	posted on March 13, 2001 08:54:32 PM new freejack, Thanks for the pointer. I did see that he's been posting over on the discussion board you mentioned before your message was deleted by the moderator. Importantly, his website is up and running, so it looks like it was largely a glitch, although Yahoo! graph has been deleted. joice, John is an "industry observer" that is frequently quoted in the financial media, the latest of which is http://www.fool.com/news/2001/yhoo010123.htm It would seem to me that the information discussed in this thread is hardly private.
USMarines	posted on March 13, 2001 09:17:45 PM new Hi Dimview: I knew that John was very knowledgeable of online auction, but I didn't know he was and "industry expert" as well. If you hear from John, please post. I will do the same. Regards, Rudy USMCQuantico Semper Fidelis! http://www.geocities.com/adultmagazinesmarket/
freejack	posted on March 14, 2001 01:46:43 AM new Joice, Understood, thanks for the info... to everyone else...I've follow the ebay forum at fool.com for the past year, and John is absolutely an industry expert...he's knows more about the auction business than all the analyts combined...I can't even imagine the amount of research he puts into this knowledge...it's very impressive... Thanks, John...and keep up the good work!
USMarines	posted on March 14, 2001 07:14:35 PM new Hi Dimview, FreeJack & Joice: I heard from John today. He is fine, but busy. Let me share with all his friends part of his message: I've been kind of busy during the last two weeks so I haven't been following Yahoo very closely. I'll have to check back with the board later tonight. It's amazing how much stocks are getting hammered. Personally, I'm trying to sort through some pharmaceuticals so the fact that they're also getting hammered isn't too bad.

John10101	posted on March 14, 2001 11:40:20 PM new Hi Folks, I hope everyone is doing well. Sorry about the missing Yahoo chart. I was trying to place this one on the web and got mixed up and deleted the Yahoo file http://homestead.juno.com/john_r_wong/files/ebay.jpg Looks like Ebay item counts move with retail sales, at least during year 2000. The question on everyones minds is whether Ebay will suffer during a slowdown. I suppose that's true for Yahoo as well, and naturally true for Ebay and Yahoo sellers since they're on the frontline. This is the latest chart for Yahoo http://homestead.juno.com/john_r_wong/files/yahoo.jpg I did two scales for Yahoo's US site. Check out the rescaled one. Notice the bumpiness in the Yahoo counts. What's that? Now that Yahoo consists of more active items that's the weekly cycle with the peaks during the weekends (seen also for Ebay). Would anyone believe me if I said that the site-wide success rate for Yahoo's US site is holding steady at 30% (for weekends/Sundays)? I guess I can't claim expert status. One can seem well informed but only because it turns out that many in the media and most stock analysts aren't that well informed. That's because they have to divide their attention among many businesses and industries. Plus there are true experts within the industry who would find the knowledge of amateurs rather basic. John
