Our cable company does not have E-channel. What do they cover?

Wasn't paying too much attention. The little 13" tv sits on the computer desk, and I was reading SI posts at the time. If I see them again, I'll let you know.

I remember when Boston Chicken commercials were on every channel all night long....back then (about 2 years ago) I was short that high flyer and every analyst on the street loved the business model, it was the new paradigm of fast food :). I was short at 40 and the high was 42 I think, and recently it hit 2 3/4 (no splits). WOW! I hope AMZN keeps spending millions on TV ads, especially for the last Sienfeld episode.....burn that cash!

As sure as I was about the inevitable collapse of Boston Chicken, I am sure of the inevitable collapse of AMZN.....by the way, I still eat at Boston Chicken, the food is great. That has nothing to do with stock price. I have also bought a couple of books from AMZN, although I now buy from BKS online and soon from Borders and a few other specialty shops. No matter how good the service is, it does not justify current valuations...............;^)

Glen, we have Hwp, warning us that the pc price war is killing them.
When do you expect Amzn to tell us the same is happening with books??
