What a clueless author the writer of that article is - He thinks that Amazon has added $2 billion in market cap because they are adding a music store? What an idiot. I guess he really doesn't know how the market works - still thinks all this is just caused by people wanting to buy stock in this revolutionary company (ha ha ha)- its call a major short squeezed, combined with a dose of the momentum players. Nobody really thinks the company is worth $4 billion - they are just trying to make a quick buck. I bet 90% of the retail investors in this stock don't even know what the market cap is.......

F The?? you wrote Yes, pretty much the same but the paragraph that talks about the Bull analyst, that see's Amzn being a Multi- billion, mother of all retail Internet commerce stocks , really caught my eye. If that's what the retail side is selling their clients on, this unbelievable balloon is now being described as a new aircraft carrier, America has just started to build. Oh, remember it was also the Seattle Times that reported Jeff Vinik was taking a big stake in Amzn. I called DJL this morning, still no shares available to short.(I have no intention of shorting, just want to keep current) I heard someone describe the Amzn thing 'as the mother of all short squeezes. I would not touch this manipulated balloon until, they beg you to buy some of their short shares.
