I'm puzzled, how does a rational investor make money on a stock like AMZN? Same way you make money off of 'beanie babies' - find someone that wants the stock more badly than you! I imagine most small 'investors' in AMZN actually have pretty weak hands. Just need the float to increase to more than 10 million shares. Once that happens (if it ever does) AMZN had better be making about $4/share in earnings.

"Can't get your book,'' the promotion read, "Try Amazon.com... with this $3 gift certificate.'' With the stock yesterday at a 52-week high of 96 1/16, it had better hope the promotion works. (P.S.: One reader and a trio of writers on Time Inc.'s Netley News site insist that the best book site of all is Acses (http://www.acses.com), which searches for the best deal at 25 online sites, including Amazon. Once you select a book, it shops for the best price and veers you to the site with the best deal. Acses is run by Muenchhoff & Janz, a Germany-based software company whose main focus is on Internet software robots and comparison
