Eric: "Legal disclaimer" HB gave AMZN speculators a target -- and they needed one badly. After all, "valuation" had long since ceased to be an issue. At the same time, posters on this thread were openly speaking about AMZN's "unlimited potential" and ridiculed those who suggested this was an irresponsible encouragement to gullible investors. Posters on this thread denied it was risky. Posters on this thread said that a basket of internet stocks was low risk because it was "diversified". Was it fraud? Or just stupidity fed to the gullible? Is it a crime to be stupid or to take advantage of stupid people? Legal disclaimer -- The above post should in no way be taken to reflect upon William, the posts he made, the people who bought stock based on what was posted, HB or Bezos, anybody in the investment community who works for a living, or my friends and family.
