| Louisville eclipses million-dollar milestone in surplus sales
LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Mayor Jerry Abramson today announced that the city has "unloaded" more than a million dollars worth of surplus government vehicles, equipment and other items through online auctions. Metro Government sells obsolete and other surplus items through its website, LouisvilleKy.gov, and GovDeals.com, an online service similar to eBay. The $3,760 sale of a Case International 585 tractor to a bidder in Cookeville, Tenn., recently brought the total funds generated through the online auctions to more than $1 million. "The online auctions are a creative way this government is operating efficiently and effectively for our citizens," Abramson said. "We're unloading items that have outlived their useful life for government, and in doing so creating a revenue stream and reducing warehouse space." Abramson said the online auctions often generate more money than traditional auction-house auctions because items are up for bids around the clock and the online auctions allow more people - virtually from anywhere - to participate.

Amazon/eBay, Yahoo/Google: Internet Trading Pairs With Good Potential
Richard Shaw (QVM Group) submits: Google (GOOG), Yahoo! (YHOO), eBay (EBAY), Amazon (AMZN) and Baidu (BIDU) (China) are the leading publicly traded internet companies whose primary business is online and whose face is directly visible and known to the public. There are other important internet companies, but they are more behind the scenes. We prefer EBAY over AMZN and GOOG over YHOO. For those more adventuresome people who seek long / short trading pairs as part of their “alternative investment" or “hedge" allocation" (as opposed to investing in a long / short fund), we think a long EBAY / short AMZN pair, and a long GOOG / short YHOO pair has good potential These are trades, not investments. We are not predicting that the shorts will go down, but that they will rise less than the longs, and perhaps go down.
