You make some great assumptions on AMZN. Since you imply you are an investor and not a trader I will "assume" you have read the balance sheet on this thing. It's AWFUL. Forget the brand recognition argument and all that other crap. Those days are gone. This is a trading stock and not too good of an investment, IMO. Good luck with it. Sabre!

>>. patience is tremendously valuable in a world of daytrading stock jocks. << Wizard, did you know it is estimated that only 5% of daytraders make $money. They need more than patience, they need a bankroll and should never be on margin. If you don't trust me on that, ask the poor daytraders who used to visit here when amzn was @ 221. They aren't around here any longer but there's several here that can give you their names. Actually, Daytrader and Bateman comes to mind.
