<<hjm, have you seen the "cheesed out" amzn commercials? a bunch of freaks singing stupid carols? >>
Sb, no I haven't seen them yet. But as Victor pointed out Clear communications (CCU) on another thread, I sure missed out on that one.
I totally missed the I-net retailers would be throwing all their reserves into advertising to survive. Which is why CCU institutional ownership is so high.(CCU also has $900mil of debt in junk bonds).
Next year its estimated that less than 50% will survive.
It appears for the first time since this mania began some I-net retailers will give some .Coms relief in their search for qualified technicians.
ps
Did you know that Amzn might spend more money advertising this Xmas than Wal-Mart?
I think that Morgan Stanley will soon have replenish the Bezo coffers. Did you also know that the Amzn junk bond holders are happy?

There is a theory re ecommerce co's that some of them will fold by the Spring if they do not come out #1 or #2 in their category for this holiday season. (I am not talking about amzn, btw.) So there is a huge push on to go for broke and advertise like crazy now because for many of the 2nd and 3rd tier ecommerce co's, this is do-or-die time. Should be mighty interesting.
