Jan, William and HJ should form a hedge fund. William will buy on the way up, HJ will short on the way down, and Jan will trade both ways. For sure they'll beat Cramer's fund. Sarmad, Actually, I recieved a complimentary private email that was a similar concept from a lurker. This person felt that William, James, Jan, you and myself should start a hedge fund. I can't recall all the specifics but it went something like this: 1. William would buy on the way up. 2. I would keep the group abreast on FA if there is somethineg pertinent. 3. James would take care of shorting at the proper time. 4. Jan would know investor pyschology. 5. You would know investor sentiment. I thought this was pretty good myself:-)

Where has all the excitement gone? This stock isn't as much fun anymore now that it has started trading in a range on low volume. Even recent news of big new automated warehouses and the 10 millionth customer has not lifted the stock. Maybe Bezos should hire Ed McMan to deliver the 10 mil product to the customer in "Amazongonenutty.com's 10 Million Product Giveaway Lotto Sweepstakes". These are all efforts to inflate a wet paper bag in hopes it will soar over Mt. Rainier. Amazon would be better off going with the flow and hold off the 'major' announcements of AmazonuttyToys.com and other efforts favorable to increasing Christmas sales. That way the sector will have been through the summer doldrums, the kiddies will be returning to school, and "serious" investors can again return to playing their favorite computer game - "Viva Las Vegas Speculating".
