<<Amazon.com (Nasdaq:AMZN) was downgraded by Robertson Stephens to buy from strong buy. >> Yeah, still "buy" this float-bloated money-losing stock, but just don't strongly buy it. Good grief.

This didn't help either. >Amazon.com (Nasdaq:AMZN) was downgraded by Robertson Stephens to buy from strong buy. Shares of leading "e-tailer" (Internet retailer) fell 12 3/16 (-14.87%) to 69 3/4. Yup. The elephants are leaving.

Some Jenny Craig Franchises Refuse To Run Lewinsky Ads JAN 05,2000 APPLETON, Wis. -(Dow Jones)- Some Jenny Craig Inc. weight-loss franchises are refusing to run the new Monica Lewinsky ads, saying the former White House intern at the center of President Clinton's impeachment scandal isn't an appropriate role model. The owner of Jenny Craig (JC) locations in Green Bay and Grand Chute, Wis., and Des Moines, Iowa, says he plans to stick with an old ad campaign rather than pay for television commercials of Lewinsky, Jenny Craig's new spokeswoman, the Associated Press reported. "As a person who has been successful on our program she's done great," said the franchise owner, David Lahey. "But, as a person to look up to, there are certainly some issues there. "I wouldn't be pleased if my daughter came home and said 'I want to be just like Monica Lewinsky.' " The commercials of Lewinsky began airing nationally on Sunday, showing her slimmed-down figure and a "before" picture of her looking heavier. Lewinsky, 26 years old, was the subject of allegations of sexual improprieties in the White House when she was an intern. Clinton finally admitted to a sexual relationship with Lewinsky after seven months of denials. Jenny Craig spokesman Brian Luscomb said Wednesday that various other U.S. franchises also have decided against airing the ads, but he declined to say where or how many. About 15% of Jenny Craig franchises are privately owned, he said. "It's quite common for franchises to use different ads or create their own," Luscomb said from the company's headquarters in La Jolla, Calif. The overall response to the new ads has been favorable, he said. Jenny Craig said it considers Lewinsky a good role model for weight loss because she has been successful on the program. She claims to have lost 31 pounds since starting the program last summer. Copyright (c) 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
