I am uncomfortable writing about the size of investments. As you can surmise, the peak value of my AMZN shares was well into seven figures. I have mentioned the amout of money that I am considering investing in ICGE to hopefully motivate Robert Rose to pursue the discussion of ICGE with me further. Everything in your post is correct. I have other capital gains and losses to factor in to the tax considerations. I had 4800 shares of AMZN before selling the 2000 shares yesterday and today. I am concerned about the insignificant increase in AMZNs market cap with the DSCM IPO. I fear we are headed for the 60 to 70 range before recovering with the holidays. But my intent has been to make AMZN a long-term investment. I am interested in diversifying, hence the consideration of B2B investments. I am also moving money to Cooper-Linse-Hallman, money managers who time the market. Tom

<It's none of my business and I hate to bug: But I remember that; Your posts said that you sold 75% of your Amzn shares in Jan99 @120s and then bot back half of the shares you sold in Feb99 @120s. Correct? So your holding was 50% of the orig. shares until this latest selling of 2K shares? That's sorta interesting. Will you have to "pay" the LT Cap. gain first then incurred a s-t loss? > This post is spooky.... And I can't even remember what I paid for a stock I bought the previous day! You would make some kinda tax attorney....amazing....
