William -- you imply that fast growing companies are less risky -- but that is not so at all. AMZN is at risk -- and the added customers raise the stakes and the risks ever higher. If AMZN stopped right here they could be a cheasy little company and their stock price would tank. But they are not stopping here, they are, 'going for broke' as the saying goes. Growth requires investment, in this case provided by debt since nobody could stomach a stock offering at today's prices -- and risky decisions that bring them head to head with other companies all competing for the same customer. The profitability drops for everybody and then we see who survives and who does not -- and chances are quite good that AMZN will not be one of the survivors. The easy part is behind AMZN -- now comes the hard and risky part -- continued growth. And as we go forward over morning coffee, the trend is down -- and down, and down -- good luck on your trades. Are you long?
