You just did. :)

No, you want to talk specifics about Amazon. Whether they hid expenses, etc. I don't care about that. Your secondary agenda is some kind of dot-com easy money bashing, the typical bitter-bear stance "its just short covering, you'll be sorry" etc. etc.

My point is that events need to be covered from all sides, not just the bearish or bullish ones. And I don't like broad sweeping industry generalizations from any analyst, particularly if they are wrong. The last few years Becker has been right, I'm sure she was very wrong in the 1999-2000 period. I've only seen her on cnbc in the last 2 years. Now it appears to be a bullish period again, Becker was close to the most bearish on the Amazon numbers. She was also wrong on the stock. So to be consistent CNBC should follow another analyst, or provide a counterbalance.

That Manley guy seemed to be right on, maybe he could be featured more.
