IMHO the competition is already over. AMZN won. BKS will go through the motions for a while until they realize that they will never achieve the size needed for economies of scale. AMZN has too great of a first-mover advantage. BKS cant dump a hundred million of losses into their internet venture--their financial position is too precarious. Best Regards, Tom D

LET THE SELLING BEGIN!.....THE FIRST FORM 144 HAS BEEN FILED! What is form 144? Read below from Edgar online and then follow the link to see the filing......... 144: This form must be filed by "insiders" prior to their intended sale of restricted stock (issued stock currently unregistered with the SEC). Filing this form results in each seller receiving an automatic exemption from SEC registration requirements for this one transaction. A Form 144 is NOT an EDGAR electronic filing; each 144 is filed by the seller in paper during the day at the SEC. EDGAR Online cumulates and adds all of the current day's 144 paper filings to our electronic database at the END of each business day. The value of the EDGAR Online end-of-day listing of 144's is that the first notification of a 144 filing sometimes is the precursor of other 144 filings. 144 sales frequently come in clusters caused by events such as the end of a "lock-up" period or stock options being exercised and can be used to successfully project the onset of increased "sell side" activity in the stock of the target company. Other uses of 144's include targeting individuals who will be coming into money and may wish to deploy such funds. Thus this timely information is the source of myriad business intelligence uses. edgar-online.com
