Don't buy Net stocks - Amazon CEO
'Sector too volatile', claims online retailer's Jeff Bezos

LONDON (FTMW) - Jeff Bezos, the founder and chief executive of Amazon.com, AMZN, the world's biggest online retailer, is reported to have told BBC television that small investors should not invest in Internet stocks.

The Times reported on Monday that Bezos, speaking to BBC2's Money Programme, has warned retail investors away from the sector because of its volatility.

"For a short-term investor or for a small investor, I wouldn't invest in Internet stocks," Bezos said.

Bezos, whose recent share dealings in Amazon stock are under investigation by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, added that Amazon was working hard to build a lasting company.

He believes that over time Amazon, which closed up 56 cents, or nearly 5 percent at $12.25 on Friday, would become a very valuable company.

On Sunday Amazon rebutted claims it is facing corporate governance problems and said it had sufficient cash to remain financially viable.

Even at these prices AMZN CEO is not very confident. Wonder if he thought that back @ $400,???

FWIW:nothing

Friday was a devastating day technically for the market. In two days we returned to the position we were in in February
14 of the 15 top NDX stock's PnF charts are again in columns of Os. 81 of the NDX stock's PNF charts over all are in columns of Os. While the NASD was in a column of Os Thursday at the close of Friday the DJIA, SPX and the NSD all joined the NASD reversing into columns of Os.
On the other hand 20 of the DJIA stocks PnF charts are in columns of Xs. Keeping an eye on GE which with HON trailing now accounts for 1/15th of the DJIA. GE flirting with the abyss.
Friday heard a talking head ask "Will the DJIA break through 11,000 and pull up the NASDAQ?". My concern is will the NASDAQ break 2000 and pull down the DJIA? The DJIA while not far off its highs is in a very dangerous position PnF chart wise. Especially if you look at the 100 point per box PnF chart or the chart of the DIA.

All said and done my market direction indicators, which I must stress are trailing indicators, while stalled Thursday and Friday have not as yet reversed direction downward. But that could change.
There are still more bullish charts than bearish charts in the SP500 and while there are 14 Bullish charts VS 16 Bearish charts in the DJIA, the Bullish number is up from 10 a week ago.

It seems there are always more questions than answers but I do not really know as yet if the Bear Market rally is really over or not.
What ever happened to "Don't fight the FED"?
Will the SPX not be higher in 6 months?

In a little over a week the Robins will be back and I have to get the bird baths cleaned up. As they bathe daily if not more frequently.
Not exactly sure when the ground hog and the chipmunks will awaken but believe Spring will arrive shortly.

then again what the heck do I know?
