An interesting note- while most internet companies are not allowed to discuss this quarters numbers, due to the "quiet period", Amazon managed to slip around this legality by sponsoring a survey that asked people about their online shopping proclivities.

Of course, this allowed them to pump another press release out the door and continue the feeding frenzy, without actually breaking securities regulations.

Gotta hand it to Bezos, he's got one hell of a sneaky PR department.

I can't WAIT to see what kind of releases we see around Jan 4. I doubt Amazon would be so bold as to try and float another one of those press releases themselves, but I can certainly see Mary M. and her gang coming up with a rosy commentary or two, and perhaps another re-itteration of "strong buy".. (i still dont understand why they have to repeat their recommendations every two weeks, if it hasnt changed then I don't need to hear about it!)
