GST I think you're going to have to wait until Jan or so to see whether amzn will make it or not, it all depends on the accepatance of their new lines. If I had to guess off the top of my head I would say electronics should do about 10x the book business if it takes off. Toys, I don't know, certainly more than books. And there is less pricing pressure also, since merchandising is key in those areas whereas with books everybody knows whats out there. So the people that said amzn would have to grow 200% over the next 5 years and wondered if it was possible... the answer is no if they only have books, but yes if you include the other biz's ... IF they succeed. Of course we don't know what the acceptance of these things will be. I know I won't be going to toys r us this xmas, I hate toys r us.

GST, I don't want to have all the longs jumping down my throat! I'm just trying to be a little nice! Sorry, for deep down I feel as you do, but maybe it will take a little longer than you think. I also believe Amazon the company will survive, but in a much different form and not near as big as some on this thread are predicting. Notice I said the company, but not sure about the stock price! So happy to have so many naked calls sold on it tonight and will sell more on any bounces! Hank
