To ALL: Look everywhere and leave no stone unturned. . . .

We are looking for rumors, indications, leads, connections or otherwise between PlayCo and AMZN. . . .or any OTHER toy store and AMZN.

It might be coincidence that PlayCo is LATE on opening their website, while AMZN is going to launch their TOY division tomorrow.

I need to know if AMZN has made any indication toward one toy retailer or another. EToys is the OBVIOUS connection, which everyone will be watching. . . but if you recall. . .AMZN does not go the expected route. . . and it tends to prefer the little guy. . .probably because they know that any connection with themselves is nearly guaranteed success.

With Wal-Mart expected to announce they are going online tomorrow. . .by Back-To-School. . . . remember that WMT is the clear leader in toy sales now. . . Could WMT and AMZN be joining forces?? Now that would be news. . . .

But since we are so heavily into PLCO, we need to take some time to look. The MAIN indicator says "no" . . . and that is that there is no insider buying on PLCO today. A deal that big, would be nearly impossible to conceal completely.

So. . . either AMZN has someone ELSE completely in mind. . .

Or WMT and AMZN are going to be a catagory killer. Whoa. . .the thought of it is hard to imagine. . . EVERYONE thinks that they are arch rivals. . .especially with the recent lawsuit.

But if Wal-Mart were to sell Toys via AMZN, it would be bizzare, but it would remove a big portion of the competition. K-Mart would cringe. HMMmmmm????

Well. . . anyway. . . not sure what answer is. . . but lets start looking around and see if we can find any connections. . . .I smell some big opportunity if we can figure it out.

PS> One more thing. . . remember that for AMZN this is still too little too late. . . I don't think it will be going up much more than it is from here. . . but next week, I see it going down below 100 to test that support level again.

What we are looking for is a toy company that is getting UNUSUAL VOLUME today. Alert if anyone spots this.
