Shkreli&amp;#x27;s a bit sociopathic, but he&amp;#x27;s wickedly smart, in his spare time he teaches himself javascript and organic chemistry.</text></comment>

It&amp;#x27;s posted one month before a positive earnings report showing high growth in active buyers that gives the stock an ongoing 1.3x price increase.  As far as I have viewed, Shkreli seems ambivalent,  using vague heuristics to predict the future -- expectation of a yahoo-like slow decline, poor UX and discovery, and stiff Amazon competition.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.google.com&amp;#x2F;finance?q=NASDAQ:EBAY&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.google.com&amp;#x2F;finance?q=NASDAQ:EBAY&lt;/a&gt; (click 5y)&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.fool.com&amp;#x2F;investing&amp;#x2F;2016&amp;#x2F;08&amp;#x2F;11&amp;#x2F;why-shares-of-ebay-rose-33-in-july.aspx&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.fool.com&amp;#x2F;investing&amp;#x2F;2016&amp;#x2F;08&amp;#x2F;11&amp;#x2F;why-shares-of-ebay...&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
