"Earnings mean nothing to AMZN and YHOO and I'd caution against shorting either unless you can back it with a lot of $$$ and have a strong heart!" Thanks Don. I think Schwab is protecting me (from shorting) cause everytime I ask for stock to borrow, they only give me half of what I want. Today, they didnt have any to borrow. Dont feel bad, M. Carter, I didnt get my free coffee mug either :-(.

Don and other AMZN followers: there is an interesting article in Fortune Magazine, a panel discussion focussing on information technology. Analysts (Mary Meeker from Morgan Stanley is one of them) are heavily touting AMZN, like they have a million shares in their backyard which they need to unload. All predict huge future business for AMZN and other Internet related commercial companies. This is one of the reasons YHOO keeps on running without looking back. Take a look and let's discuss it here: pathfinder.com Maybe we should wait a while until all the Fortune readers have purchased AMZN, before we short. Articles like these tend to have some effect on the direction of the stock. Michael B.
