mark, he did say why he was selling. he wants to diversify. the fact he's selling more now means he wants to diversify faster. the message is clear - he doesn't see amazon as being cheap right here. what happened to "i won't sell a share?" rotflmao!

"Glenn you have any idea why would Jeff Bezos sell 2.9mil. shrs. in FEB. Since it's a deviation from past selling patterns, would be good of him to provide some type of explanation. It doesn't surprise me though taking into account whats going on, I thought it was a little strange. " Mark, I honestly do not have a clue. I am certain that Amazon will need cash again this year as they did last year which came from AOL. I have no clue if that has anything to do with it. Amazon is still burning cash quite quickly except they are slightly cash flow positive in Q4 only.
