It is pathetic that borders can not even get the simple IP address
up. It will only take a few seconds to do that. Either
they are not ready with the website setup or they are totally
inept with the web thing. No wonder AMAZON is winning the
web.

Everyone notice that the spreads these last few days have noticeably increased? This is because the traders have left the stock. There is little interest to trade it anymore, also proved by the substantially decreased volume. It is easier to trade a company on the way up rather than on the way down because of the restrictions on short selling, such as shares available and downtick rule ........soooooooooooo, the traders have moved on, probably to KTEL and the biotech sector......the blocks indicate that some institutions are selling.

What does it mean? IMHO, it means that the hot gas that was fueling the rise is gone, and like the Wile E. Coyote and Roadrunner cartoons, that coyote just ran out off a cliff, came to a stop and looked down.....and guess what? There is NOTHING there left holding him up :)

Looking for that high pitched screaming noise next, as he falls back to earth. I think this noise will soon be made by all the complaining longs who will want to know "why is it collapsing?".........

The new borders site borders.com looks fairly nice at first glance.

I think it is smart of borders to have a "computer book" icon prominently displayed near the top of the site as I would guess a lot of on-line book buyers are into computers.

I also noticed that an icon for music sales was prominently displayed.
