Google,ebay,Skype: Wall Street voted
The early results are in. Wall Street frowns on the eBay/Skype side of the partnership according to the New York Times.
"Google's shares rose $7.69 yesterday, to close at $380.95, while eBay's shares rose 49 cents, to $25.79."
I think they got it wrong. But you can do the math!
What do you think? Are Skype users into family-friend communication and social networking or are Skype users a bunch of capitialist commercial buyers and sellers? What did Niklas Zennström create? Where is his new team taking Skype?
We would like to hear your views!

You state "Wall Street frowns on the eBay/Skype side of the partnership according to the New York Times." I read the article you linked ... it makes absolutely NO mention of the market's (i.e. Wall Street's) view of the Google/eBay/Skype collaboration.
The share prices are "factually" listed at the end of the article (without comment) ... as is customary. As for "doing the math," Google shares rose 2.0% and eBay shares rose 1.9%. The difference is statistically insignificant.
There may be a story here, but this article, and yesterday's share movement for Google and eBay, isn't it.
