for anybody who is long this stock, it must not be funny at all. one wonders how assets can get so overpriced. there surley is a lot of religion here. with numbers like price/book = 26.18, net loss, price/sales = 12.92, roa = -74.20%, and roe = -119.23%, it hard imagening how this company can extricate itself from the mess it is in! books.com and barnes & noble keep it from differentiating on price. so, what else can amazon do earn a return - certainly not "on volume." aptly put, candlestick. it must be frustrating to watch such a bounty of irrationality be virtually unexploitable. ray
