Today I finally gave up my last short position
on Amazon, needless to say with major losses. Deducted at $3,000 per year I have tax
deductions which should last well into the next millenium.

I decided to cave not because I think AMZN is ever going to create profits worthy of
10% of its current market cap, but because the laws of economic gravity appear to have
been suspended for the "Thing", EBAY et al. My life will be simpler and more peaceful
without AMZN. I will keep in touch and maybe reenter if the opportunity presents itself.
Glenn, I appreciate the angst you are experiencing over this situation.


Cap,

I am sorry for us both. I can carry losses forward for almost ever too.

Glenn
