the SKYPE pad! ~ eBay Inc. (Public, NASDAQ:EBAY)


when APPLE (AAPL) first announced the iPad, we were all like (tween accent) "WTF!?! ... it can't even make phone calls!?!" ... solution = SKYPE!

the iPad + SKYPE = SkyPhone!

NEXT STEP: the iPad with front facing camera and Skype face-to-face video chat, wow.

EBAY: owns eBAY, PayPal, and 30% of SKYPE (the IPO set for 'sometime' in 2010)

EARNINGS ROULETTE ?

EBAY reports WED after the close ... let's look for the SELL OFF to continue Monday, then we'll find our opportunity to get LONG via front month calls.

Options Lovers: try the May $27 CALLS ... $0.88 - 0.31 (-26.05%) ... "if" the SELLOFF is larger than expected, move down to the $26s.

p.s. LAKE SHOW.

this EBAY play on SKYPE is a bit of a stretch since EBAY sold most of their interest in skype, i think i just like the whole face to face phone chat on the ipad thought.
