Overstock's Brash CEO Delivers First Annual Profit

Overstock.com Inc. reported its first annual profit Wednesday, giving CEO Patrick Byrne a win in his personal crusade. The company's narrow 2009 gain of $7.7 million, Byrne said, proves that those who traded presuming Overstock's weaknesses were wrong and vindicates his tumultuous effort to position the company as a challenger to the Goliaths of internet retail.
