There are so many shorts right now, I'm thinking that it's got to be a buy signal :-) Alex, we have you to balance things out (and John keeps up the bullish end quite well when you're not here). BTW, deja vu. Bob PS: Alex, are you the guy in the limo, wearing a cowboy hat, in the Ameritrade commercial who "bought a rainforest for $18"?

Alex, Thanks for mentionioning those Fool posts. I read those posts on the Fool board, and I also read some discussion following those posts. One of the Fool's bigger points concerns 'cash', but they fail to note that that cash is at a rate of 9-10% (LIBOR + 3.5%+) and that none of AMZN's cash position was made from earnings (all from IPO or loan). That makes their argument pretty weak in this area. I think AMZN is a fine company, but very overpriced. I see from your profile you are familiar with other high-flying stocks like RAIN and EGRP. AMZN is no different.
