tweeddad	The art market will recover, and Sotheby's will remain the place.	Love	December 08, 2008
Madeleine	London is rocking the art world and the good stuff is over at Sotheby's London. That ol' master might have failed to sell this season but take a look at Damien Hirst, Banksy, and Micallef, Basquiat, Warhol and my favorite, Francesca Woodward. Their founder, the elegant Mr. Taubman, built a magic kingdom.	Love	January 06, 2008

barrons2	Market Outperform - Price 42.73 on Sept. 17 by JMP Securities The fall auction season is in full swing, and with a handful of positive data points on recent and upcoming auctions, it gives us optimism on the major auctions in November. Auction results at the mid-season Contemporary Art sale in New York exceeded the high end of the range, easing concerns that the recent turmoil in the financial markets would stifle demand for high-end art. We believe the supply at several key upcoming auctions is robust. We reiterate our Market Outperform rating and our $60 price target (which reflects an earnings multiple in line with its historical average) on BID, as we continue to have confidence in the enduring strength of the art cycle. BID [is] trading at 14.2 times our FY08 EPS estimate, a discount to its long-term average of about 23.	Love	September 22, 2007

katie7ch	Since I can't afford to shop there then maybe I could afford this stock. With the new billionaires being made all over the world, they are going to want to buy up the great art. This is a wonderful play on worldwide prosperity.	Love	August 04, 2007

Barrons	From Barron's 6-18-07: "Sotheby's shares (BID) climbed 5.8% on the week amid the continued art-buying clamor. At about 49, shares have rallied 42% since they were flagged in Barron's last fall ("Time to Bid!" Oct. 9, 2006), but they could climb higher still." Among catalysts: nearly $297 million in auction guarantees for which the mid-estimate sale prices are adding up to $329 million, and the profit boost from the sterling pound's 7% surge this year against the dollar. A duopoly with privately held Christie's ensures strong pricing power, and both auction houses raised commissions this year by more than 10%."	Love	June 16, 2007

Barrons	Barron's 2-19-07: "The bullish business trends at Sotheby's that pushed the shares 69% higher in 2006 remain intact. Sotheby's is not quite the bargain it once was, but in view of the robust art market, its rally is apt to continue." Gary Greenberg of London-based Muse Capital thinks the stock "is kind of rich". In the short term, however, he thinks momentum could carry the stock into the mid-40s. Sotheby's trades at about a 10% discount to its luxury-brand peers, he says."	Love	February 17, 2007
