i'm thinking GS will maybe pound the table on BNBN when their 25 day "no comment" period ends. maybe initiate coverage with a buy or better and set a high target. that looks to be about friday. jmo

Stephen, I just got into this stock yesterday, a few hundred shares. Isn't bnbn in the same sector as amzn? Why do you think it is getting a beating when the rest are recovering? Also, can you or somebody explain amzn's evaluation as compared to bnbn other than amzn's famous name brand and a few other things. Accounting valuation differneces for amzn's name brand and other nuances, is bnbn's valuation at this level not pretty depressed? Thanks in advance. peacelover

So, what you're saying is that the better investment is not based on real tangible profit, but on projected (hoped-for) profits seen through a haze of red ink? Brick&Mortar established store front operations with growing market share would be the better investment. This "sector strength" cited as BNBN's main asset might have finally been seen for what it is. Internets will eventually have to stand upon profits, or fall with what is now downplayed as "sector" weakness; a weakness that is in reality----REALITY. Bird sector
