And this won't exaclty help matters, either. Victor "Citing higher fuel prices, UPS announced Thursday that it would temporarily charge a 1.25 percent fuel surcharge to its services" cbs.marketwatch.com

Amzn should take another hard look at there marketing tactics, the marketing expense category there's no way they can keep running up higher losses going forward. I'm staying out of the stock for now even though the stock price looks compelling. Mark, You are the best person I have ever seen in the stock market. Between the help fo you, William, James, etc. I have been able to gain back my losses. It was more difficult to gain back because I had a far smaller base from which to work due to my stupidity of my losing a lot of my working capital. I sure learned the rule of preservation of capital. That aside, you abilities to fundamentally find a company and then be able to read the trend so well, is not surpassed by anyone I have ever met. I do not know if you were born with this talent, learned it along the way or a combination of these factors but your should be very proud. Not just of the money you are able to make with it, but of having mastered a very difficult skill. In addition, you are there to help those as much as possible with your talent and I for one, appreciate it to no end. There is a soft spot in my heart for you and I wish there were many more people as considerate as you. Thank you for everything and I am not done asking for the future <VBG> I am interested in seeing the numbers Amazon provides next week. I am hoping Amazon breaks down the revenue of the core book business for the US and overseas. If they do, we can tell if the core US book business (the most mature), actually decreased sequentially. That would be a very bad sign fundamentally for even long term down the road. Glenn
