Lee (aka PblicSrvnt), traders don't need conspiracy theories ... and as you've pointed out before, valuations aren't much help either. The trend on AMZN is currently up, light volume or not, (it only takes one bullet to kill you ... :)). Maybe, expectations of a big announcment at earnings time is driving the stock higer. Maybe the Motley Fool's "Hold" rating, BARS (Benjamin) buy rating, the Wash. Post Artile, the Time article, The Forbes article, are highliting Amazon's successes and downplaying its risks. Whatever it is the stock has tested support in the 109 to 110 area, a few times this past week and traded up from there. Technically, it would seem, AMZN is likely to re-test its old high of 144 and even trade higher. Maybe it'll take a 2-1 split to lower the stock price, and give a new group of speculators a shot at AMZN, or maybe they'll blow out the quarter, and do much better than expected. Who knows? But for now, AMZN is showing strength and swimming upstream (heh, heh) is a losing proposition. |
