Float don't mean crap Jan. That's one of the weakest arguments on the net.

Sabrejet,

You come out of nowhere and indicate you know everything about how a stock trades. Jan seems to predict price swings in Amazon much better than anyone I have met. She seems to base it on short interest, float and who controls the float.

Do some research on short interest stocks. What you'll find is an awakening. Stocks that have a large short interest
have that for a reason. Those stocks also eventually succumb. That's fact.


Amazon had a huge short interest last year. Are you stating Amazon will succomb?

What is your point here?

Glenn

Float meant "very much" for Amzn SIX month ago; it means less now but it still influences materially.

We all know that "supply and demand" means everything; the float(and who owns the float" control the sharpness of the supply/demand curve.

AND the "sharpness" is what attracts the mania, the cycles, the swings.
