What do you mean? an upgrade based on the fact the stock has lost 50% isn't honest? What a joke, this co. has no business plan to ever turn a profit and they are upgraded. Why doesn't the SEC stop this BS?

>>This bloated pig may get to the 140s but then it will plunge right back to the 80s<< I had the good luck to close my shorts on eBay at 88 and 93 last week. I am hoping eBay continues to gain altitude to say 140, at which point it becomes another great shorting opportunity.

Blodgett typifies everything that is ridiculous about the internuts I say that Blodget is trying to play it again. The first time: O. By 10/30/98, Amzn corrected over 60% from it's high of $147. 1. By 10/30/98, DB accumulated 22M Amzn shares 2. In early 11/98, Amzn announced a 3:1 split un-expected. 3. In late 11/98, Blodget targeted $400. This time: 0. 8/99 low of $80s and over 60% correction from $220. a. Janus has over 16M shares b. Amzn 2:1 Split c. He is upgrading again. Major difference: 1. Float and short interest dis-advantage. 2. No margin for Amzn on-line trading, less speculating, not a plus. 3. the $1.2B convertible-turn-equity advantages
