Despite yesterday's fleeting breech of the declining tops line, AMZN resumed its downward course again. A rise today that would have negated the trend did not happen. So far it's pretty close to schedule per my post of last week:

>>i don't think we'll see 120 again, and after a couple of days 110 will be a distant memory. Based on past behavior of mania stocks my outlook is as follows:

It may hold around 100-110 awaiting AOL's earnings, then drop fast to
90-95 , bounce off the 50-d MA at ~98, hold there for a few days then
plunge to 75-80 before the end of the month. Any rallies will not
violate the declining trend line. <<

It did drop fast today, but unfortunately recovered somewhat. I would hope we see 90-95 tomorrow. The reason for an expected sharp drop below the 50-d MA is to give room for a strong rebound from the MA without violating the declining tops line.

Jan, I believe the slow steady ramp down IS the method by which the VC's+6 cash out. What better way than a predictable draw down. This keeps the volume up with a stable price range. The volume needs to be there in order to effect the distribution. I believe they really don't want excessive volitility at this point because that brings risk of sharp down swings, and a possibility of an accelerated sell-off. This is uncertainty they don't want. So far, classic behavior. JMO
