Briefly in the news
And now let's take a quick look at some of the other stories that shaped our week.
- Speaking of faded bellwethers, what's going on with eBay
(NASDAQ:EBAY) ? Fourth-quarter revenue fell by 7% at the company in its latest quarter, and that's with PayPal and Skype posting double-digit gains on the top line. - John Thain didn't last long at Bank of America
(NYSE:BAC) . The Merrill Lynch CEO -- who was the master architect in taking NYSE Euronext(NYSE:NYX) public -- resigned just weeks after Bank of America completed its acquisition of the struggling investment banker. Does that make him a CEO speculator instead of a "buy and hold" executive?
Until next week, I remain,
