HJ, re: Kiggen I'm not sure what they did was kosher unless they explicitly suspended research coverage while they were employed by AMZN. I don't think that registered employees can recommend stocks of their employers.

This has got to take the cake. Rumors are flying about how the local Electrical Workers Union is organizing a work stoppage at the Delaware distribution center. Basically they would cripple AMZN in its holiday season. So now, in an act of UTTER DESPERATION, brokerage employees are taking up part time jobs shipping boxes in that distribution center.. basically SCABS. LOL! Just when i thought i had seen everything. ----------------------------- We spent much of this week as temporary laborers at Amazon's Delaware distribution center, "picking" inventory from warehouse shelves and assembling orders. (We were hired as the result of the standard job application process, without the company's involvement.)

Glenn, here's a Kiggen update. The only thing that has changed is her price target. "Quitely" she's moved it down from 200 to 60. Less than 1/3rd. Hmmm.. This is consistent with a back-of-the-envelope we've derived from the "Delight-O-Meter" numbers on Amazon's site and with third-party data that suggests the online retailing market is growing at a 40%-60% rate, with Amazon gaining share (our Amazon model incorporates 48% year-over-year revenue growth). all studies by IDC and Forrester indicate Amazon is losing share. They pay these analysts for this? Geeezz... The general takeaway from our moonlighting is that Amazon is executing on its near-term and long-term financial and operating goals: customers are plentiful and active, customer service levels are high, and operations are becoming more efficient. If they had not done this in the past, how does one compare? Also, there seems to be no mention of mergins and the free shipping on orders over $100.
