>Have you noticed nobody is posting that they sold it? Have you noticed that no internut analyst has EVER issued a press release announcing they sold something? It's not a tough game to figure out. You announce your buys after the fact, and then you never state when you sell- because it is ethically impossible to rate a stock "strong buy" when you are busily selling it. Of course, anyone who thinks ethics even remotely exists in the analyst community should be medically classified as a moron. (too bad that includes half the population)

I'm really buying into the Amazon story at this point, and not because of everything they have, but what is in the future. I'm not even talking about more product lines, or even physical products themselves. My thesis is that the real profits, and lots of them will come from products that are electronically distributed (my full thoughts: streetadvisor.com, including e-books, e-music, e-video and more. It looks like amazon made the first move today. Kevin Prigel

>>Have you noticed nobody is posting that they sold it?<< William, I believe we have only about 30 regular participators here on this thread. So the buys or sells here really means nothing. Maybe, just maybe, Forrester Research uses our opinions to base their future predictions, but I doubt it. Yes! I agree in our little group there appears very little action. Todays IPO's to watch. Asfd,Cgld,Egan,Ttpa,Yesm and Inin. In my case I only got some Yesm.
