Was cash flow the main idea when Bezos started this thing up, otherwise Amazon would not be that good a choice for a bookstore name. According to an interview with Bezos, he did not want the name to reflect a book store since that was only to be a starting point. I suspect Bezos was not even thinking cash flow when the name was chosen. Glenn

Gordon, great point < I might tend to agree that until cash flow comes up short of expectations this bull will be hard to bring down.> It seems the best strategy here is to sit on the sidelines and keep all eyes on their revenue #'s. Once we see the revenue #'s peak, we pounce. Right now I think I'll lose on my May 90 puts and it may be that my July 100's might not be far out enough. It confirms that Puts is not the play here at this time. I still have my shorts @ $95, but make no doubt about, as soon as I see the revenue #'s I'm looking for, I'll throw the kitchen sink @ this Hummer.
