Jon: The thread is in a limbo. Amazon longs start to worry that the stock will head south. Amazon shorts keep getting bewilderd that so many people are still buying this ocean front property in Phoenix. How can Jeff Bezos keep fooling the market? Greed by analysts whose employers just see dollar signs for further underwriting fees? Yes, very soon Amazon will be selling dog food. Just today I got half price coupon from Homegrocer.com. Click on Amazon, order at leat $ 50 in groceries, and $ 25 will be deducted. Home delivery. I might try that. Let us say I order $ 50, the truck will pull in for the delivery: unloading the items and I pay only $ 25. Will I become a regular customer? More likely no. There are 2 major major supermarkets within 1 mile from my house. I don't like to wait, except for pizza of course. Hey, how about pizza through Amazon?

Why isn't there any discussion of AMZN here? Why is everything here about fuel cells? Am I missing something? It has all been said but here is a very quick synopsis: 1. Growth is slowing. 2. The no inventory business model failed. 3. Cash burn continues and is increasing not decreasing. 4. Another round of funding will be needed by next summer. 5. Insiders have taken more than $2 billion out of Amazon. 6. Amazon has too much distribution capacity for their needs. 7. Top management at Amazon has been defecting since inception Bezos exluded. 8. Amazon has the best PR machine there ever was. 9. I personally do not shop there nor have a position. Glenn
