AMZN outperformed AOL, VERT, DCLK, etc. ..anybody has any theories on..

My theory:
1. Amzn has the highest short interests ratio among the big nets currently. 2. Amzn has a 2:1 split in front of it.

AMZN has been purged more quickly by institutions who continue to purge themselves of other stocks. AMZN is in 'weak hands' now -- increasingly owned by those who do not seen the potential for a further decline in net stocks and are complacent -- ie. not prepared for what might happen to their 'investment' in coming days.

in light of the absence of growth in internet consumer eCommerce in Q2.

Year over year growth in revenues for AMZN was 171%.

When numbers like this aren't enough to make the bear case then they go to the 7% seq growth.

Yes, AMZN is getting its ass kicked here and it most likely will go a lot lower before it stabilizes, but let's not say that eCommerce growth is stagnant.

If you're trying to fuel a bear argument, so be it. But don't lie about facts.
