You are too kind (regardless of what W says about you)! Sarmad, THank you I think. Not sure if that was a left handed compliment<VBG> I've had several unpleasant experiences with stocks of companies that got into financial difficulties. If they can't find a buyer of their brand or software front end, amzn's price will go to pennies and be delisted. As you noticed, even super believers like William and Mark have abandoned it by now. Mark has left and has stated so. Bill still states he believes Amazon is doing well. I was wondering what is so special aboutn Amazon's front end compared to other large traditional retailers with a presence on the web. I do not seen a meaningful difference. Glenn

Sarmad, I don't think AMZN will be delisted. While it is guilty of irrational monetary excesses, it might be the only dominant etailer standing tall after all others have been blown to smitherns by this market and slowing economy. It is supported by elephants just for that very reason. I will start buying amazon stock very soon as I expect it to go down into single digits. My guess is AMZN will be bought out by AOL or Walmart or some one similar at a hefty premium from current valuations. PS: From Briefing.COM: 09:10 ET Amazon.com (AMZN) 11 3/8: Stock falls to $11 1/8 in pre-market. Contributing to the weakness is far-fetched rumor that the online retailer is considering a Chapter 11 filing.
