Roger: One might think that Bertlesmann's entry into online books "Bertelsmann entering global online retail book business" bertelsmann.de (they also own part of compuserve europe, part of AOL-Australia etc and are in deep cahoots with AOL) might be considered bad news for AMZN. That it is completely ignored is just more confirmation of the double-bubble internet stock frenzy. I'm also short YHOO but not AMZN (yet).

Roger, re:ZITL. Today's news looks real bad for the Zit! The guy that apparently obtained the small order with the Army has left for ALYD. There was no follow on order!

I covered most of my position around 10 (had to hold some <G>) - started shorting again today.
Regards, Bill

Roger-I too am suffering short YHOO, though today's price action looks funny. Short covering induced top hopefully. I have been looking to get out @ 60 for a while. At least I only lost 10 points on my small DELL short:). Fortunately, CTXS still looking weak. Maybe high 30s next week.

Best Wishes,

Timoteo
