Even then, selling stocks short is still so widely viewed as unpatriotic, (rather than seen as contributing to the efficiency of the markets). Still, it is unbelievable that in the information age, we are kept in the dark on open short interest so much. Tom, Kind of amazing isn't it? in their relentless efforts to maximize the profits they scrape away from small investors. They are already losing parts of their information monopoly when information like level 2 quotes starts to become affordable. I belkieve we agree this has been an unfair playing field. BTW, happpy to see AMZN swinging your way. Its ahead of itself. FWIW, am still long-term (i.e. 2 to 3 year) bull. I figure they've got connections & the power to end up with a significant etailing market share, or that somebody with deep pockets may buy them. As to where the price will be in 3 or 6 months, probably down some, but am utterly clueless. I am clueless too. My guess is no survival under present mangement as fundamentals appear now. I have no idea how they will appear in a year or even less. Glenn
