>>``We are not a stock you can sleep well with at night,'' Jeff Bezos was quoted as saying<< a tad late, wouldn't you say? sheerio! ;-) >>after cold water was poured on reports that Bezos had met the chief executive of U.S. retailer Wal-Mart to discuss a potential tie-up.<< i recall pelting that punk story with ice immediately after it came out. this is one transparent hack of a hype company. btw, notice that bezos is on record as saying amzn is a "risky" investment. i bet he did that at the behest of his attorneys. nobody can say he only touted this pos now.

<<Fortune writer Joseph Nocera says such Web operations as Motley Fool, CBS MarketWatch.com and TheStreet.com "were fully invested in the idea that the Internet was the future and all us fuddy-duddies in the Old Media didn't get it. They were the early champions of Blodget, in turning him into a cult figure. The dead-tree media was much more cautious about this." >> Motley Fool was always a big fan of GE. And J. Cramer of Thestreet.com was a big booster of Honeywell when everyone else was slamming it. Just two quick examples of why it just isn't so easy to place blame after the horses have gotten out of the barn.
