Doug,

I accept all that you say, but when they bought amzn at 147 throughout the first hour, didn't they know it was Friday. Surely it didn't take until 1:00 PM to realize that. I think the answer is something different. Which is the early excitement was regarding Amazon's entry into the auction business. And the selloff was a disappointed response to that news/rumor.

What we don't know is this. Are traders disappointed that Amazon's announcement will be delayed a week ? Or do they disapprove of the idea of Amazon competing with ebay ? The answer to that is worth few $ million, at least.
