<< Look deeper? Craig, you are positively myopic. AMZN had revenue growth of 1000% in the first nine months of '97. >> Pretty easy to grow your revenues 1000% when you ony have 1/30th the revenues of Barnes & Noble. Let's see them do it again in the next 9 months. I want to see AMZN go from 90 million in revenues to 900 million in 9 months. Then come back and talk to me. Besides, like I said before, Barnes and Noble has profits, AMZN isn't even forecast to show a profit till the turn of the century. << Oh, I forgot. They are forking it all over to AOL, another one of your shorts. >> Oh, really? Show me! Find the link where I recommended shorting AOL... you can't. Someone else on this thread was trying to convince me to short AOL instead of YHOO. You must have your wires crossed. AOL is hyped up too much and overvalued but I would rather short YHOO or AMZN. << So you think the AMZN business model is a cool website? Please tell Gateway quick. Compare the Dell site and the Gateway pseudo-site. Poor Gateway. They just don't get it. >> So what are you trying to say? That AMZN is some kind of DELL? Comparing DELL, which has been selling computers and servers etc for years with a stinking book seller? DELL is hyped up too much anyway as well. I made good money shorting that too. It seems like all your favorite stocks like DELL and AMZN are my favorite shorts. << By the way, exactly what is BKS running on? They don't seem to have any, ah, cash. >> That's because they didn't just complete an IPO like AMZN where they fleeced the public. Believe me I'm not recommending BKS as an investment, I'm making the point that even after a sharp run-up from 13 to 33 in 1997 they STILL are a better value than AMZN. << And you want to short AMZN? Go right ahead. It was up 2 points today -- good entry point for you. >> Believe me I'm getting ready. I tried to short it at 65 a month or two ago and couldn't get shares. They didn't have options trading then. Now they do so I won't have to short stock. << And by the way, BAY actually does have recent anal-ist recommendations -- to buy it, that is. >> I didn't say that BAY didn't get analyst recommendations, I was referring to mentions by guests on CNBC. << If you would come on over to our most excellent BAY thread, you would find this out. >> Why would I want to do that? BAY can't seem to stay on their feet. They've had their butt kicked to king-dumb-come by C$CO just like COMS. Thankfully BAY has just enough of a heartbeat to compete with COMS and make their life more difficult.
